“First day back at work done. Now making up the

coverkit from this month’s WOXS mag. I’m really

enjoying it.” @smartcookiesam via Twitter

“Cross stitching with my kitty helper. She loves to

curl up in my lap! Almost done with ‘The Meadow’

by Wrendale.” ramblingkitty via Instagram

“And it’s a finish! Only a tiny one, but it’s a finish!

So, I’ll take that (and start something new).”

2016) of your mag into a coaster for myself. I hope

that you like it!” Jade Lawley via Facebook
