Hello there, and welcome back to this week’s #PoCoLo - a relaxed, friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked, comment and share some of that love.

Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed from the linky, and if older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

This week I’ve been getting to grips with my new sewing machine - and it’s not been that hard really, although it’s a different make and much more modern than the one I’ve been used to. I think I’ve stopped being afraid of it now, and have started to do more than just play and test things out. I decided to treat myself as I’m using my sewing machine much more than I ever expected to, and I thought if I put it off then it would be one of those things that you wondered why you hadn’t done before!

To help me through this we’ve munched our way through some tiny, smiling gingerbread men - a Christmas present that’s been both tasty and uplifting!

Have a good week.
