I've been off the grid

Where does the time go? Invariably that is a question that everybody asks.

All I can do is apologise!

What have I been doing?

Well, we went away to Somerset for a long weekend... Which was lovely... As the pictures show... (They will be here!).
Our plan in fact was to visit the various Christmas markets and get some presents, or some interesting decorations for our first tree.... Alas... Not much was forth coming. What decorations we did get came from pound land.... But you wouldn't know! And then we stopped in a garden centre chain and got our lights... But we were able to stop in the farm shop (which I love!) there I managed to get a couple of goodies for presents.

Then upon our return it was my turn to host our stitch club... And what fun we had.... Christmas songs on in background and many laughs and giggles were had.  I had wanted to get pictures but we didn't end up doing so! Next time!

Thursday was slimming world night... I have no idea how I got on. To be honest my brain isn't getting round it at the moment.


Friday night was M's Christmas party, and the Dickensian evening was in the village so dad and I went to the Christmas evening and Matt off to his Christmas party... A late one was had... I got a message at  nearly 1am that he was ready. I arrived, 1:05; but he didn't appear until 1:25! So it was tiring. But he had been warned that nothing was getting in the way of us getting our tree! 

Saturday... It should have been a joyous day for us getting our tree.... But it was longggggggg! But well worth it... Check out the tree! 

My crafting has taken a little bit of a back seat. Although I did start a cross stitch... But it's too late this evening as I write this to do any this evening. 


I have been commissioned a snood to make.  I have placed my first order with black sheep wools. www.blacksheepwools.com I'll be sure to post a review of how things go with them when the items arrive!
