I hope everyone was able to enjoy their Christmas and welcome the new year in with joy and happiness. We're still enjoying the school holidays here as the new term doesn't start until Tuesday, but the trees and decorations were safely packed and put away last weekend.
Here's our little Christmas grandson, filling us full of happiness
He looked rather dapper on Christmas day itself although I think he found the whole business rather overwhelming.
I'm trying to get back into my crafting groove, there're so many things I'd like to do. I have a few kits that were gifts with magazines that need to be used. As I'm also trying to declutter (well, a bit), it seemed a good idea to start using things up. Here's a cute doggy keyring.
This one wasn't from a magazine, it's a little feltie bear I've made into a brooch.
We're ready to establish a routine again... helps me remember which day of the week it is... our little charge is back with us again for a full day on Tuesday and it's Andrew's birthday on Wednesday, everything back to normal again.
Hoping everyone is happy and healthy and 2018 is a wonderful year for everyone.
Take care

Thank you, our very own Father Christmas x
DeleteI am trying to get a list of things that I really want to make during this year. I have dress patterns on the way and a couple of knitting patterns to print off. The hard part is keeping it realistic.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, it’s easy to have lots of good intentions. My aim is to be better organised this year x
DeleteSuch a cute baby boy, adorable. I have a few free gifts and such that need to be made up, I have them to the never ending to do list.
ReplyDeleteI have a few in a basket and have decided what isn’t done in the next few months get given away x

DeleteAwww, how cute does Zack look. Give him a couple of years and the excitement at Christmas time will be fever pitch. I love the doggy keyring, I've got lots of kits from magazines but I never get round to making them. Wishing you all the very best for 2018.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jo, lets hope it’s a happy and healthy one x
DeleteI think little Santa Zack looks so adorable, lovely photographs.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Andrew - hope you all have a great week.
All the best Jan
Thank you x
DeleteThat is the cutest little Santa I ever did see....just adorable.
ReplyDeleteCrafting is top of my list this year after a very poor showing of handmade things last year. I will be mostly making quilts and dressmaking for myself and the girls and teaching myself to sew jersey fabrics using my overlocker.
Love that little doggy key ring.
Have a fabulous new year.
Hugs-x-
I definitely hope to do more sewing this year x
DeleteThe sweetest Santa, to be sure! Makes the holidays so special when you share it with a little one. Love the little felt crafts - so cute. I always need an adjustment after the holidays to get back into a routine, too. Still have to put away my holiday decorations - I've been so busy. Hopefully tomorrow! Hope your New Year is full of many blessings xo Karen
ReplyDeleteDoesn't your grandson look wonderfully cute in his santa suit!
ReplyDeleteI hope the start of the year new year has a good one for you all.
Good luck with the decluttering!
