LAST Catch up and moving on..........


Hello to All you Lovely Ladies!

So I am still getting my blog up to date with the end of December festivities and New Year's. I hope to get all caught up after this post. How did this happen....I don't know.....maybe the wedding...... maybe just me!


So OUR Christmas was on the 27th of December with all the kids we could gather. It was also my birthday amd my last one in my 50's. How can that be, well I tell myself, "it is what it is"! Happy to be able to be here, to talk about.........
Then after the lovely Christmas weekend, we had our two granddaughters, Abby and Lizzie for a few more days. It was so much fun and we even had New Year's Eve together, which you will see in photos. The littles wanted to eat in the dining room and stay up late. SO they stayed up till 9:30, and we made it till 10:00. Real night owls this group. I've never been a New Year's Eve fan, I like to be home, have fun food, make a toast whenever and be with the one you love or in this case "granddaughters" too!  I'm not much for New Year resolutions either because I think each day is a new day and we can all try to do our best each day, anyway. Well, enough of all this, how 'bout some photos!

                                                                       "My Angels"  
                                       As you can see Lizzie is a character on the left, 5 years
                                                                      and Abby 7 years




                                 One Christmas craft made by Lizzie and Nannie's help





                                             My son Ted and his dog Zoey  (and of course jealous Jack)





                                           Jack takes a lot........during the little girls visits





                              Getting ready for New Year's, girls had fun making table settings





                                                             Ready with chop sticks






                                                                   Popper time





                                                                   Banner strung





                                                  Cosy time on Nannie and Poppy's bed





 Another Christmas craft made by Abby, she did a great job with only a tiny bit of help






                                                    Gifts to myself from Cath Kidston





                              My new tea mug and dish towels, if I can dare to dirty them







 My newest find, design your our journal, date book etc by May Designs. Check this out, it is so fun. The books are hand sewn and you pick your design, font, label etc.






                                                  Handsome Jack not to be forgotten






                       Look what Mother Nature did on my walkway, an icy smiley face : )




Hurray, that's all my pictures in December. Thank you for back tracking with me and now my blog is mostly up to date. Finally next time projects, knitting, crocheting, and what I'm reading. Oh, I almost forgot a home demo happening in one bathroom. Never fun, but hopefully the results with be exciting.


Thank you for visiting, following me and being wonderful friends. Your comments are so appreciated and I thank each and everyone of you!

See you soon, xoRobin
