Connie, thank you for your email,I look forward to my deckchairs ! wish the weather was suitable for sitting in a real one,it's been so cold and windy here.I've been "lurking"on your blog for a while now,since seeing all your lovely photos on this site.I think the tie idea is very clever,I'm not sure what my husband Vic thought a couple of days ago when he found me going through his wardrobe, putting some ties to one side, he said "are taking those to the charity shop?I might need them" he retired last year so he doesn't.I assured I wasn't taking them anywhere !! Thanks for your comments on my stitching,perhaps one day we could do a postcard or ATC swap.I don't have a blog, I spend far too much time reading other peoples and I only started using a computer last year, so I'm a bit slow ! Thanks again, speak to you soon, best wishes Judith.
