As I write this post I am sitting in a hotel in New York, USA.  Yes it took me 35 hours of traveling time door to door to be here for a week of meetings.  I flew in on Monday and I leave again on Friday.  I have back to back meetings and not much time for shopping or seeing much of New York.  Maybe next visit I can have a little more time.

It’s my second night here and I can’t sleep. It’s about 3.00 a.m in the morning. It’s also cold and it was snowing this evening as I left the office with my colleagues.  Only a few days ago it was 38 C and a hot northerly was blowing at home !  This planet is a beautiful and amazing place and I am lucky enough to witness it from two perspectives in a short period of time.

Before I try to catch some sleep again ahead of a busy day, I thought I would share with you a free little chart I have designed while on my long trip here.  It’s a tiny alphabet chart for the letter A.  It’s the beginning of a series of an alphabet series I am designing but it is going slowly.

So the chart looks like this when stitched although the stitched images comes from my computer as I have not actually had time to stitch it.  You get the general impression.

Now for the chart

I have mentioned this before, but it would so nice if you download the free chart to stop by and say hello and leave a comment.  It will only take a minute and it would be very nice to hear from you !

Before I leave I thought I would refer you to a gorgeous blog called Little Cotton Rabbits.  It is a knitting site and the knitting is exquisite as is the blog.

The blog is owned by Julie who says “I‘m Julie – wife, mum of 2 and knitter. My son is severely autistic and so life is a bit of a rollercoaster ride. I write a little about our experiences in the hope of helping others in a similar situation and to give a little insight into some aspects of life with an autistic child. I also write a lot about knitting about which I’m passionate – it has helped keep me sane through some of the more difficult times with my son.

I hope you visit the blog because it’s gorgeous and well worth a visit.

So I am off to sleep (or try at least to sleep).  I leave you for now and I may not blog again until I get home as my days will be very full with lots of work and traveling home again.  In the meantime, be happy and stay safe !
