    Oh, I'm loving it, I can get back to normal with doing my 'usual' knitting and getting through my list of things to knit.

    Why don't you start making gifts/cards for christmas or something?

    I've just finished my first mock up of my invites and R.s.v.p, quite please, nice and simple...what do you think?

    just a simple gatefold card with heart hole punch for the ribbon and 2 silver rings a bit blurry
