WOYWW

Good morning all!
Firstly, an apology for not visiting anyone last week.
I think Annie and I both felt a bit shell shocked after the events of the last few weeks and neither of us felt like blogging very much.

However, this week, things are looking better and we have a few things to celebrate.
Thankfully, M & co are home and settling to family life and so we are all breathing a huge and very grateful sigh of relief.
Annie has had other worries too and even these seem to be sorting themselves out slowly.

AND today is a special birthday.......
so help yourselves to a large glass of bubbly before you go!!
I won't be publishing a birthday portrait so you will just have to imagine what this old dear looks like - but I will say, I have coloured my hair specially and don't feel anywhere near as old as I am!!


My room is loaded with boxes of our crafty items, all ready for the Montgomery craft fair on Saturday.
I can hardly move in there but need to make a bit of space, so that I can make some pretty bunting to decorate our stall with.

My daughter M is coming with me and she has great plans for setting our stall out. We have lots of pretty things to sell so, I hope we get a good turn out. Last year it was at the end of November, on a bitterly cold snowy day - it can't be that bad this year can it?

And here are my latest little knitties for little L who is now well over 4 lbs.


Over to the Stamping Ground then - let blog hopping commence!
Have a great day - x Jo

  15. Happy Birthday JO, you celebrate it with my big brother who’s 64 today…..where do the years go.
    Talking of not seeing what you really look like, I keep putting off changing the photo in my profile. That one was taken on my 50th birthday five years ago and I look nothing like that because my hair is completely White now. I used to colour it but it grows so fast it would need doing every four weeks so I decided to go Grey gracefully.

    Good luck at the craft fair!
    Happy Sewing!
