Just humming my way~~~~

Goodness.... the countdown has begun. I probably speak for many of you, I am quite sure I will not be seeing the new year ring in. We will have a quiet time here.  It will be good to wake to a new year.

I have completely wiped myself out today...chores.... still looking for the House Keeper Fairy.  Swishing in the laundry area, washed the hall and kitchen floors and walked the vac around the living room.  Remember the budgie? well I now have a hummingbird ~~~~~

It is double sided so a bit more fiddly work but I love it. I do need a few more in case this one flies away like budgie will soon do. I thought I was going to make a Blue Jay but the hummer just appeared. I also want to make a few folk art birds. I find handwork relaxing ... as long as I take a few breaks. Do you still have Christmas around your house? Most likely our put away will happen next week on one of Lisa's days off.  Much easier with the both of us working at it. Of course I am sure Murphy will be a great help! 

So nice to have you visit with me. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship. Finally this year will come to an end soon. My wish for the new year is that we have more compassion for one another, take time to be kind to one another and finally better health for everyone.

All through the house

 It truly was a lovely Christmas! 

 

We had so many gifts and so much fun, even Murphy participated in opening gifts. He has a fun time.... we all did. Christmas eve was casual pick and eat from the antipasti tray and homemade Prosciutto bread. We began by opening one gift each but it just continued until they were all opened. Lots of ooh and ahh and thank you .... then Christmas morning we opened the stocking gifts with Mimosas in hand. Lasagna was our evening meal along with another antipasti tray. To say we were all tuckered out is a fact. This was the first Christmas that I did not decorate the tree except to add a few personal ornaments. Lisa did a great job. 

A secret Santa gift appeared in my mail box. Isn't she lovely and oh so soft. I think I know where she came from but a secret is a secret!  I have something to send out this week...

I hope Danny will like a friend to chat with! I am so enjoying these felt critters. A new additions of felt on my sewing table tells me more to come. I think a bluejay is waiting.

A tomato is waiting to be picked and many more getting ready. I love the winter plants best. We even have roses getting ready to bloom. Today is a very chilly cloudy day but that is okay. No plans for the day...we are all home today. Looks like it will be a lazy day....we can all use that.

You may have heard about the passing of these fake bills. They are clearly marked as movie prop money but still get passed for purchases. At first look they appear to be okay and in a busy holiday rush they might be accepted! Alan brought this home. Amazing, right...

okay my friends, so nice to catch up. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship. 

Asking for special thoughts for my uncle Tony.....
