That’s great. Although not a quilt my daughter had seen a mini plush (a large BMW logo made one) and she wanted to win it. It was labelled I think prize seven or eight in the raffle. We were at a mini (as in cars) event and at that time that’s all she talked about (Aspergers). Well. The raffle was drawn, we won first prize (a very large ham…[Read more]

Hands up, for those that hate Christmas, it is okay to say ME. I do, I hate it with a passion.
What do I hate about it?

Lovely. I think I will go VIP next time as I struggle to find somewhere to relax. and by the end of the day with heavy bags it gets harder. I too loved Jenni Dutton’s work, it was so moving and to think it was done by hand on netting.

Lovely finished Boro piece Denise. What I particularly love about Boro is the ripples you get (front and back) which adds fantastic surface design. Your photos show this beautifully.

Thank you, it was a short two night stay but the recovery is six weeks, it is going to get very frustrating if I cannot use my machines as I am unable to lift for that time period.

People seem to forget its to celebrate Jesus’s Birthday ! And I’m not religious..
Top tips from me include
1 house sit for friends who go away for Christmas so you get to see a nice tree for a few days then come home to a tatt free house
2 visit a country where Christianity is not a popular religion, highly recommend India

I don’t like the commercialism of Christmas, and I certainly don’t like the stress of it. The sooner I can get everything prepared and done, the better. We are having a buffet style meal – I’ve ordered the salads and sandwiches, – well, when you could have 10 people dropping in (stepsons, grandchildren and others) it is a lot easier, and it is something that I want to eat. I would have liked to to have Christmas Day to ourselves, and have Christmas 2 on Boxing Day, but that isn’t to be this year. Once we’ve done presents, I like the idea of time doing what each of us want to do. I’m not going to be caught up in the ‘what we should do’ trick – the day is what we make it, and when you have fostered children and young people for a while, you become adept at altering your expectations for the day, and going with the flow. I totally agree with you about the getting into debt – it is so unnecessary, and unhelpful.
I wish you a peaceful, restful, and joyous holiday.
