Ik ga het topic van Hesterkerstgek naar boven halen waar de vertaling instaat. De brances zijn nog niet vertaald (of ik heb er langs gekeken). Met deze vertaling van Hester, het engelse patroon en een vertaallijst is het voor iedereen mogelijk om zelf aan de slag te gaan. Hulp nodig..........geef het aan en de ervaren kerstboomhaaksterren helpen je.
