Photo Hunt 31 December 2021 - Celebrate

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!
