My hoard, well I am a hoarder I can't help myself sometimes, only I have emptied the attic, yes I know scary thing to do when you are a hoarder. But I have been sorting it all out as it all has to go, so I have one box of rubbish and the rest will be going to the car boot on sunday.

But I wanted you to see what I have been hoarding!!

Okay here goes.
these two boxes are full of Teddies, but I am keeping Zippy and Bagpuss

 Here are some of the teddies that have accumulated over the last fourteen years of valentines,birthday etc, we did put a stop to them and said we have too many that is when some of them were packed away and forgotten in the attic.

I am not showing you the ones I have in my bedroom!! LOL

This one I am so unsure of getting rid of because it was given to me by my workmates when I had Lucy, so really it is Lucy's!!

I will have some stitching to show you soon!!

Thank you to all of you who are still here reading my blog, I hope to do more stitching next year, so you will get to read about the subject this blog is meant for!
