I have lots to share so will get on with it.
Firstly it has become a bit of a tradition of mine to have a new start on 1st January every year. This year whilst discussing this with my stitching sister, Angela, we decided to start a new SAL, our third one for this year lol. We decided on Lizzie Kate's Snow Belles. So on 1st January I duly started Snow Belles and have managed to get the first block done. We are hoping to stitch a block a month.

I am a bit disappointed that you can't see the words at the top very well so I might outline them but will wait and see how the others come out.
At the end of the year I emptied my ort jar which is also a bit of a tradition. This is what it looked like on 31 December. It is now ready for the 2013 Tusal which is run by Daffycat. Pop over if you want to find out more details.
I also promised you pictures of the gorgeous Christmas gifts I received from Angela and Elaine and here there are.

Happy New Year, Lesleyanne--hope it is filled with much love and laughter :)
Great job on Ice Queen! I can't wait to see more of the Snow Belles :)
What a great start for the first day of 2013! I think outlining the words is a great idea. I have seen other stitchers change the words to blue.
Your gifts are wonderful! Happy New Year!
You stitched her so fast! A great new start, I'm still working on my first part :)
A lovely new start Lesleyanne :-) I keep meaning to do the Ort Jar for a year, but that will have to wait until 2014 now and great gifts also. Happy New Year and lets hope lots of stitching gets done.
Super new start on your new SaL.
Wha wonderful ornaments your friends stitched for you.
You've made a great start on your first SAL of 2013. It looks as though it is going to be a fun stitch.
