Issue 81 is in the post

Issue 81 of Stitch That is in the post and I have already complete the designs for the next magazine. With luck and a following breeze we will be back on target in September and hopefully stay there.

I have very disturbing news from my Publisher – Axis Publishing who have put my new book together for Search Press have run so late that there are now rumours that we won’t see our bulk order until August. You can imagine, I am very fed up with this as we have had four delivery dates so far and still no books. Lots of you have placed orders with us and I am so sorry. We will not process any of your paperwork or credit cards until we send out the books.

I have spent the last week remodelling the main garden and I intend to take some photographs later today after my gravel has arrived and I have put it where it needs to go. One of the lovely pots purchased at Pots of Pithoi will be a bubble fountain and I am very excited! My daughter. Louise has discovered gardening and has been an enormous help – we have completely filled a skip! I have been very disciplined and only bought long term plants  and lots of David Austin roses and I am hoping this will give me the all year around colour and low maintenance garden of my imagination! We will see…
