Danielle's Diary — cross stitch kits

It’s a strange sort of day today, an odd feeling of quiet in the office, I think it is just me though, sort of like when you actually finish a mammoth task and sit back and think ‘well, what do I do now?’. The usual suspects of coffee, tea, biscuits, chocolate etc are not helping to lift the feeling either. Anyone else get this ever?

Happy Stitching! Danielle

I have a blog, a blog I tell you, wow, I have only just mastered Twitter! This could be fun :)  I just thought I would pop by and say Hello and welcome to my new blog, please make a note of the date and time because for the first time ever I actually cannot think of anything to say, that's right, I am lost for words and that's a first! Not to worry, I'm sure my talkative nature will be back, so for now, hello, thanks for stopping by and I hope you like the site. Danielle
