March the Last Bit

Tracy and I had a little jolly out the other week. We went to see New Forest Mohair as he had his shop open. I’ve seen him a few times at the shows but this was a first visit to his actual home and to see the goats too. We bought a few bits there…

Scrap Happy March

Hello, I'm new!! Yes I decided to join in with the monthly ScrapHappy Challenge when the offer came up as I am often using scraps lately in a bid to use up what I have rather than buy anything new. I have several plans in the pipeline but for this month I found a PHD…

March Snow

Not sure when I can add proper exercise in again but hopefully soon! Thank you for the kind comments and messages, you're a lovely supporting group!…

Farewell December
