As another wonderful year draws to a close I am pleased to say that my dream to return to Cambodia will be fulfilled when Allan and I travel there again in January 2008. Some exciting plans are beginning to take shape and I hope to report on more of what is happening there when we return. There are now 21 very happy girls in the dormitory who are each sponsored by families in Australia ($600 per year covers their keep, pocket money and education!)

Another business highlight of the year was teaching a class again in Sapporo in Japan, after attending a wonderful wedding of the daughter of our close Japanese friends. Rumiko, the mum, is now living with us for three months to improve her English. She is a wonderful cook and insists on doing most of the cooking, much to everyone’s delight.

I brought back with me from Japan a delightful book
by Toshiko Powers called ‘Antique and Vintage Textiles’.
It is available for AUD$20 + p&p.

Wishing you peace and joy as you celebrate the real meaning of Christmas with your loved ones.

With best wishes from Kathryn

This year has flown by with all the excitement of our daughter-in-law's art exhibition at Tin Kat Cafe in Adelaide, many family events and the birth of our first little grandchild, who is now 4 months old and a regular visitor to our home.
I'm happy that I have found time to create more new projects which are now on our website and I hope you enjoy seeing them.
I wish all of our customers a peaceful and joyous Christmas and hope that you will all have a very special family time together.

Best Wishes, Judith
