Charly I understand your reservations as this has been fos baby for several years. Fos is missing in action, we haven't heard from her for a while I do hope she's alright and will come back to resume the reins of this thread.
However I would hate for the thread in soulie's memory to disappear
How does everyone else feel? would you all be happier if the thread continued in this 2016 version until we hear from fos and until until the thread grows to such length we have to move OR should we with due mention to both soulie and fos move the thread onto a new year version nowSPC~12 ot 124

Hi everyone, I have heard from FoS. I wrote to her by snailmail as I had messaged her on here and no reply. She moved house in 2016 and hasn't had time for crafting or to update online. I was so relieved to get a card from her as has been worried she hadn't been online. I will be writing a reply to her this week and I'm sure she would want you guys to start a new thread for 2017.

Thank you so much coxy, that is very good of you. And I must admit a relief that you have heard from fos and that she is well.
We will wait for fos to say if she would like to start the new thread as this was her baby to begin with.SPC~12 ot 124

Not had the best beginning to 2017 as I had an eye problem which kept me offline for 3 weeks and I've had some bad health news about my dear Dad. I'll be splitting my holiday between visiting DGS , working and visiting my dad. Would like to post my list at the end of the week, is there a new thread?‘One of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things’ said Mole.Cross stitch cafe TaDa Enjoy the Little Things, WIP Love cats, ‘A Year in the Life of’ HSC July-December and The Seasons graphic sampler.

So sorry that you're not having the best time just now, Charly.
So far, there isn't a new thread.Sewing 88/COLOR]Woollies 19Card s 91Reading 37/400
