It’s the most wonderful time of the year

December 22, 2015

I know it’s been a while since I posted a finished project, and I do have some to share, but, frankly, I’m sat on the sofa with the kids watching Christmas movies and relaxing and that seems like the best thing to be doing today.

There’s still stuff to do before the big day, but it’s the last minute stuff so it can jolly well wait.  Whilst the house looks like a grenade has gone off, most of the Christmas lunch is prepped and in the freezer.  Joy!

So, from our family to yours, we wish you a peaceful and fun filled Christmas, and a New Year blessed with health, happiness and love.

And if there is yarn and fabric in the mix, well, that will just be marvellous too!

A very Merry Christmas to you all.

Photos were take at Lantern Magic at Chester Zoo last weekend.  The rain couldn’t dampen our spirits.  If you get the chance to go, it’s a lovely adventure for small folk.

    Your kids are growing up gorgeous, and I can quite understand why sitting watching Christmas tv with them is Moe appealing than sewing/knitting.
    Have a fabulous Christmas!

      Thank you! I’m grabbing any time with them that I can at the moment…they are growing up way to fast!
      Hope your Christmas is wonderful too.
