It has been a busy day with people calling to sign a card after the death of our youngish window cleaner, so terribly sad for his widow who accompanied him on his rounds.. We keep up with the news, neighbours want holly tree trimmings from our tree, the pigeons are starting to eat the berries.
This morning I went to the craft club, total relaxation making things - not brilliant - but I enjoyed it.
Wednesday is the gardening club Xmas dinner. the food sounds good. The radio is blasting out parliament and Mrs. May, has she delayed the vote? not really interested. the saga still has another three months to go.
My sewing machine has been busy making cushion covers and bags to hold things being made. The morning started with Matilda's birthday, now 17 years old. I remember her as a small toddler, always bent on getting her own way, strong willed never giving in. Having to make her little patchwork dolls which she would never be without, so if one got lost another had to replace it. She is still strongminded, but maybe she will mellow;). She works at her schoolwork, works at the weekend in the shop and helps out at fetes.
Balance is nice this time of year.
ReplyDeletebeing happy is good at any time ;)
DeleteSounds very Christmassy over your way.
ReplyDeleteLovely photograph of Matilda.
Yes, David, who came over, was putting up his lights in the garden, a sledge and reindeer. Chickens are having a winter holiday as well.
DeleteThe patterns of the material you chose for your bags are ver nice.
ReplyDeleteBeing strong willed can be both a positive and a negative. May Matilda, with her lovely smile, use it wisely.
Mostly greys, from the Scandi collection, you have to be a patchwork collector of materials to appreciate;).
ReplyDeleteAs far as Matilda is concerned, children grow up and she can also be very sweet as well.
