Happy New Year

Well, Christmas has come and gone..... and our (small) family did have a lovely Christmas this time spent in Sydney..... We celebrated in style.....

..... were entertained by one of my sisters.....

...... and who said you need "little ones" to enjoy bubbles.....

..... between days spent relaxing some of us decided to venture out to IKEA .... here enjoying well earned refreshments..... note we had a trolley and some of those BIG yellow bags!!

.....another day and another outing to a great book shop Constant Reader ..... a few more books to be added to my "to be read" bookcase!!

....there were outings to cafes and catching up with friends..... and time to do a bit of reading.....

New Year was spent in Sydney (watching the fire works on television) and the following week it was time to return home....  time to un-decorate the house.... but before all was packed away for another year one more photo - a new member of my Santa family (!) taking centre stage....this one came from England as part of my present from Megan.....

Over the last few days some "secret" stitching has been started.... but more of these 2 projects later......

And this week it's been a return to work..... holidays are over..... 

Hope 2018 is a happy and healthy one for my readers..... and may it be a "creative" one!! 

Happy Stitching
