The kitchen is finished, well apart from the walls, they need tiling, but us girls can only put up with so much before Christmas (that's me and Betsy). So until after Christmas we'll be happy to put up with undecorated walls, I've hung a Christmas wreath in the kitchen, very glad it didn't sell at the craft sale!
I had a great day at Art Van Go, and a surprise bonus was when someone said 'Hello Miriam' it was
Lynda Monk, she had popped into pick up some supplies and was asked by Viv to give an impromptu demonstration, which of course being such a lovely lady she did......

On my way back home from Art Van Go I stopped at Sewfine in Watford and picked up a new sewing machine a lightweight Janome, that I'd ordered I've not had a chance to play with it yet.
Kate my God daughter is getting married on the 22nd December and I was invited to her 'Hen Tea' you can read more about it on her Mum's blog. We all had a lovely time and there was soooo much food, and yes there was cake and yes, I did eat it and NO I haven't forgotten my diet. At this time of year I find it so hard..... Last weekend Rachel came home for a few days, I can't believe that this time last year I was dropping her off at Heathrow for her trip to Australia. Sunday the rest of the family joined us for lunch as it was Dave's birthday. I cooked the first roast dinner in my new oven with no disasters, a good rehearsal for Christmas Lunch. Monday Dave took the day off work and we went out for Lunch with his Dad. Tuesday it was the Material Girls Christmas do, so much food and I just cant say NO!!!!
This year I took part in
ALQS7, I posted my quilt to
Scarlett in Chile, I've heard from Scarlett that the quilt arrived safe and she is pleased with it. The quilt I received came from Claudia she lives in Brazil, I'm really happy with the little quilt the colours and the work are beautiful, just right for Christmas.

Today we decorated the Christmas tree (last year we didn't have a tree, new puppy and only Dave and I here) To start off Betsy was very interested but then she got tired of it all and went for a lie down but couldn't help coming back to have look, fingers crossed the tree remains intact until at least Boxing Day!

Love Betsie's face!!!!!! Glad the kitchen is almost complete, I think you are wise to have a break and have it tiled after the holiday. Looking forward to seeing you at the wedding. Just need to sort out an outfit this week!
ReplyDeleteAaah, lovely photos of Betsy, shame on Dave dragging her out in the rain.
ReplyDeleteYour tree looks lovely, very festive.
What with the wedding and Christmas, it's all very exciting here. Looking forward to sharing it all with you next Saturday.
She has a wonderfully expressive face doesn't she - who needs words hey! Hope the rest of the preparations go well - enjoy the weeding :-)
