Well, that was Christmas - doesn't time fly!
I hope you all had a lovely time. We had a wonderful family lunch followed by a quiet few days.
Today we have our little house guest for a day or two. He drew a portrait of me last week and as he finished he said "I've missed out the bits that make you look old cos you think you're young don't you!"
I love him to bits.
I have been doing a few little jobs in the evenings.
Tillyteadance needed a few brooches finishing and packing.....
Then, I noticed an appeal for little hearts for the hospital. So I knitted a few pairs. They are called Friendship Hearts.. They are gifted to families whose loved ones are receiving end of life care.
They are presented in pairs so that one is kept by the patient and the other, identical one, goes to their family, along with a little poem.
These things mean a lot to some folk so, I am happy to use my stash to help out.
Well, that's it for this week except to wish you all the very best for 2023. Thanks for yet another year of friendship and crafty desk sharing. Long may it continue!
Best wishes
