MERRY CHRISTMAS. Our Christmas design this year (Greatest Gift) was to honour the reason for the season. Someone on our Facebook group page wrote what she “saw” and I couldn’t have explained it any better. Jesus is the reason and was the greatest of gifts ever given.

I cannot believe it is Christmas Eve already. I am shocked at how fast the month (and year) went!! I have so many goals for 2025 and 12 (or more) retreats was one of those goals. This made my December quite busy as I like to have the designs done and chosen for each retreat well in advance. This gives me time to make them myself and have them tested before we hit retreat time.

I lost 10 days being very sick with who knows what. I will have to wait til after the first of the year to get back in to the doctor to figure it all out and make a plan. I am sure it will involve a change in diet, hopefully that is all! Bobbin (our mascot mini dachshund) had to have a lump removed. Her daughter, Buttons, had an eye infection… I was beginning to think pretty negative thoughts about having time to sew! Sewing is my therapy!

Enough about me… I am excited for everything we will be doing in the new year! I have so many amazing things planned. I have our first class (free to VIPs) nearly finished and scheduled. Remember the VIP sale only has one more week. Yearly VIPs are $100 (normally $120) til 31 December 2024. Get in now for a great rate. VIPs get discounts to retreats, a free pattern each month, classes free or discounted… It truly is worth it just for the pattern alone!!

Enough for now! Watch this space! Watch us grow! (Not so good) pic of me and Dini for fun! ~Debi
