In a couple of weeks, a major event is going to happen. Christmas? Yes, that too. But before that, we will finally open our cooperative village store. Hallelujah! It has taken up far too much of my time and most of my stitching projects were orphaned for too long. I so hope this improves in the new year. In the meantime, meet my Holiday Stitching project: These are the Santa's of prevention. They are keeping me sane whilst I don't have the calm and quiet to work on any 'big girl' embroidery projects. And they PREVENT me from killing any villagers who are foolish enough to position themselves between me and our village store...
But what will I do with all these charming Santa's? In comes our village Advent Windows Calendar. Our decorated window will open on the 16th of December. Want to stitch some of these charming Mill Hill Santa kits too? They are distributed by Wichelt in the US. You can order them in Europe from Casa Cenina and in Germany from CreativHorst and Stickteufelchen. Apart from frantically stitching Santa's, I've also purchased my tickets for the Opus Anglicanum exhibition in London! And I am having fun this week with Elizabeth stitching an illustration from a fairytale book. I'll show you the pretty results next week.

Hahaha, tja is wel een nauw pad, hoor! Maar ik heb goede hoop dat je de volgende keer weer gewoon hier naar de winkel kunt. Elizabeth is deze week met het openbaar vervoer gekomen en heeft voor de zekerheid eerst haar koelkast en tuin leeggehaald. Elke dag uiteten is ook zo wat.

Hi Catherine, no I won't sell these ornaments at the shop. Our shop will be a normal groceries store. However, since I run my embroidery courses from home in the rural countryside, course participants benefit from being able to buy groceries within walking distance. Fingers crossed we will open in a couple of weeks!

Oh, I do indeed Catherine! I've just returned from another meeting. I now know everything there is to know about scales spitting out bar codes :).
