Hello my dear friends. I’ve been a bit hither and thither recently, but the brain and the body are just about beginning to function in the same planet again!

My desk is not worthy of a photograph this week as I have just emptied it in the hope (possibly vain!) that I might get around to some creativity – so, instead, something FAR more look-at-able… the beautiful cards you made for myself and my family. Thank you.

I also received the cutest little ATC with a card and gift from Kelly…

My fingers haven’t been idle though, despite doing nothing at all on my desk apart from officialdom. Mrs D was having a grand sort out, and handed me some glorious wools to help with making blankets for Uganda. So…

and…

His name is Mr Jolly Jingle – and isn’t he just gorgeous. John and I started him last year to go beneath our Christmas tree, then changed our minds and decided to give him away… So, I have finished him, and I love him. Those Christmas puddings on his shoes really are something else!! He is a Jean Greenhowe pattern, and over the years we have knitted many of them. Each one has delighted us – and no, we still don’t have one of our own! Maybe by next year.

Well, that’s me done this week, folks.

Take care. God bless you.

Margaret
