…what Sari shared with me today. I love it when someone gets creative with my patterns, isn’t it wonderful what she did with ‘Under The Willow Tree’!

Meanwhile I hope you are all enjoying the Christmas holiday preperations at home and in your towns… don’t you agree that it is by far the most joyful season.

Hibernation is a state of inactivity and metabolic depression in animals, characterized by lower body temperature, slower breathing, and lower metabolic rate. Hibernating animals conserve energy, especially during winter when food is short, tapping energy reserves, body fat, at a slow rate.
Just in case you wondered where I was ~smile~. Meanwhile… I finished one of my projects; Tulip Manor by Blackbird Designs.
This year the – monthly- free patterns are converted to ‘2 monthly’ . This means that the next free pattern will be available in March 2009. Watch this space :)
