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

Happy Birthday Special Lady. Enjoy it to the MAX...and a toast of the bubbly for wonderful days ahead.
Love your knitties. Do have fun at the Fair and good luck with all your wares.

Helen said...

Happy Birthday indeed, Jo. You deserve the very happiest of days - so go grab it!!

SueH said...

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!
