Unlike these amazing holiday jumpers knit by Welsh Nan Norma Bousfield (centre), we’ve been a little quiet here at TCA, recovering from an intensely crafty December and getting our house in order for 2010.  But fear not, we’ll be back posting & bringing news to your inbox in full effect very shortly.

We hope you all had a super awesome holiday and wish you peace, love, and crafts for 2010!!!
