I certainly didn't mean to be away this long but life has been a-happening & so it goes... We are all so busy at the mo... but that is OK... 'tis nearly Christmas... where interupputions & life are a welcome source of Christmas spirit.
With Christmas in mind I have been keeping myself busy making this & that & the last couple of days I've been doing our family newsletter... Gosh no wonder I'm feeling a tad tired... makes me tired just reading it... way too much has happened for one year, it truly has... Plus I wrote a newsletter for my Mum as well, as she feels she just can't get her thoughts together to put pen to paper to write her Christmas cards... at 93, that's OK too... so I'm doing what I can to help her out. This is something my Mum crocheted many many years ago & this is one of several she still had at home...
Of course the heat & humidity isn't helping with the progress of anything here either... I was going to do this post yesterday morning, but life happened, then yesterday arvo... got a visitor... then this morning, again life happened, so here I sit in front of my putter with the sun blaring in on me... I'm dripping wet... the fan is going full blast... way too hot in this room, after lunch, to be doing anything so I've been trying to spend my arvo's out here... under my verandah, where it is a tad cooler, especially if a slight breeze is to be collected... Blocking my crochet & doing some more crochet. Never blocked crochet before, so it's been a steep learning curve to find, what I like & how I like it to look & feel...
Got myself into a bit of a pickle on Monday when I looked at the calendar... & looked again, how did I do this... I somehow thought that the Grandies didn't finish school until next week... checked three calendars until I couldn't believe it... so they were finishing school this Friday, just gone & I hadn't finished their teacher pressies... And I thought I was cruising along so nicely this year... drrr [yep, I am blonde but not dumb... really] So it was a very quick... 'Get in & finish', as they had to be posted - going in different directions...
Now have I ever complained about our postal system?... I do, I did!!! Ohhh my apologises then if I have... I posted the parcels at lunchtime Wed & the girls had them the next day, Thurs... one early enough to send the Grandies along to school with their little pressies... Great stuff...
This is just a few things I've been working on... will show you more soon...
Stop thinking for a while
and allow yourself to feel.
Your feelings will reveal much
more than thoughts alone could explain.

Hi B,
I'm just loving this crocheting from your mom.She's 93 too! What an age. My nan lived till 103 she was absolutely marvellous. Lived on her own fended for herself. Anyway, what a family heirloom. I'm just trying to suss out how she did it! I love the Christmasy colours, and it looks so great hanging there.
Yes, I've been too busy too to do much on here, with Christmas coming up. But I have enjoyed just peeping into Flickr this morning and seeing pictures of your outside. I'm just longing to see more of your home,so I can picture you there! What an idyllic spot outside you have, oh, I'm just going to book my plane ticket! ha.ha.
Hugs and LOve Suex.
Love it.x

Thanks for the comment on my blog! You're so nice to make presents for your grandkids' teachers! (speaking from a teacher's point of view). :)
Time really does fly at this time of the year and you have certainly been busy with all of your crochet projects and helping your Mum (love her crochet by the way)... and all of this in such heat!! you deserve a medal!
