Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any 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 and share some of that love. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’re here.

I’ve had a couple of days off this week which have been both productive and creative. I’ve been able to get back to my patchwork quilt and now have sewn half of the blocks I need. There’s clearly the same again to go, but four of those blocks are on the go, so it feels like I’m just over halfway. I’ve a final few days off from this year’s leave allocation in a couple of weeks, and if everything works out as planned then MOH will have started his new job so my plan will be to make good progress with those remaining blocks. But we’ll see.

And creative? At Christmas these two printing presses were an addition to my ‘stamp’ collection. I’ve held off trying them out until now - I had more success with the cactus than the auriculas, but both look pretty on the shelf. They’re metal rather than rubber so I suspect that is a contributing factor to the success I’ve had so far, but I’ll be happy to just have these on my shelf.
