OMG! Bothythreads, a famous company which creates beautiful cross-stitch kits, has announced a giveaway: one lucky winner will receive a Sycamore Gap cross stitch kit, fine bone china mug and coaster, as well as a Tree of Hope cross stitch kit, fine bone china mug and coaster! As for me, the main prize is a Sycamore Gap, which I saw while visiting my daughter in Newcastle. That is an incredible place with a touching history.

The best gift

Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.

One if the best gift I’ve ever received is this cup. Why? Firstly, it was the gift from my daughter. Then, the cup is handmade by herself. Being a crafts woman, I can feel the love my daughter put into the cup. I have had it for five years and I intend to keep it forever.
