I've enjoyed reading your blog since I first found it via sew weekly I guess almost 2 years ago! I've been loving your recent posts incorporating more of Scotland! My brother lived in Scotland back in 2002-2003 and your posts are bringing back fabulous memories of visiting him over christmas, being dumbfounded by Edinburgh's Hogmanay, exploring they city, hills, and countryside. We stayed in a gloriously old little apartment off the royal mile that felt just like the one in this post too!
