The end of another year but there is so much to celebrate. Beloved and I do not celebrate birthdays, holidays, etc etc so I'm having to think outside the box for this one.
So what's to celebrate?
- Being alive and reasonably well.
- Having avoided Covid.
- The wildlife that visits my garden and adjoining fields.
- Having the ability to craft lots of wonderful things, eg, quilts (about 16 for Project Linus), crochet (blankets, hats, Christmas trees, etc) and any other craft that I dabble in, eg, cardmaking, free machine embroidery.
- Happy to stay at home.
- Happy not to have a holiday (last one was in about 1990).
- Being able to shop online!
- Looking forward to the daylight increasing daily.
- Looking forward to new challenges in 2022, as I'm sure there will be some as our lives are never 'normal'.
Here are just a few photos that are classed as celebrations.
Going to Ribblehead on Christmas Day for a picnic in the car.
A card I made recently for a dear friend, who introduced me to quilting, papermaking
and so much more in my crafting activities.
I made a bigger version for myself and will practice my techniques.
Remember this? Well I made one for me.
May I proudly present Claude....
There were some minor hitches during his construction
but I like a challenge and won!
He's about 24" (61 cm) tall.
I'm pleased with him.
I'll continue to celebrate each day with a bit of chocolate!
Thanks Astrid to hosting the Photo Hunt. It has been fun but sadly I've decided that I no longer have the time to join in. I have enjoyed glimpses into other people's lives, so different to mine. Click here to return to Astrid's link up page.
Bye and happy hunting!
