Thank you again to Cheryll for getting us together for the last FNwF of this year.
Like most, I will not be sorry to see the end of this year, and hopefully we will have much better time in 2021.
I had just a small project ready and managed to finish it as well - small kit by Corinne Lapierre, French Hen, part of the "12 Days of Christmas" set, which many bloggers have been making.
My hen looks little more skinny than the original picture,
but I am quite happy with it, not bad for one evening's work.
My crafting seems to be dominated by crochet at the moment, and although this stack of squares is only about one 1/4 of what I need for the Tobermory blanket, I got seduced by another one of Jane Crow's designs - the Persian Tiles blanket, and on Friday afternoon I finished the first block.
I like the "Sandalwood" version, but there hasn't been any colour breakdown published, it is available only as a kit from Mary Maxim. I prefer to use Stylecraft Life DK, which has some wool element, so I have made up my own colour combination, which is probably little brighter.
There have been many birthdays and anniversaries missed this year;
there is a couple of our family ones we will not be able to celebrate as a family this month,
we hope to catch up on all of those next year, when we will be able to get all together at the same time.
Last month was our golden wedding anniversary - 50 years of married life, and friendship for more.
Due to the lockdown we celebrated on our own, with nice dinner and a bottle of wine.
But that morning we did get a surprise -
a truck pulled up outside and unloaded a big parcel.
This turnout to be new garden bench - a present from our children, who know how much time we spend in our little garden, and that our old bench was literary on the last leg.
I think I should use this as a motto of my blog!
All we need now is spring!
