I dare not add anything else Official at this point. But we&#8217;ll see. I was very lucky to receive some beautiful projects for Christmas and took advantage of some excellent sales to give me a wealth of beautiful work on into the future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/img_4644-1.jpg?ssl=1\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-180\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/img_4644-1.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/img_4644-1.jpg?w=4032&amp;ssl=1 4032w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/img_4644-1.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/img_4644-1.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/img_4644-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/img_4644-1.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/img_4644-1.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIn the meantime, I couldn&#8217;t resist starting on one of those, Christmas Blessings by La-D-Da.
