Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2021
It has been a very strange and hectic year, to say the least…so I hope that 2021 will bring you lots of happiness and joy to compensate for the year before. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, friends!
Year In Review
In the past 12 months I managed to publish 12 NEW designs (1 knitting, 9 crochet, and 2 quilting patterns), and I wrote a NEW book that is coming out early next year – Crochet Animal Slippers!
In addition, we moved our small family business 4000+ km across Canada from Southern Ontario to our new home in British Columbia.
