Hello friends
Happy New Year's Eve!
Goodness it only seems like minutes ago I was typing 'Christmas Eve',
time has flown by.
I hope you had a lovely Christmas.
Santa filled a very important stocking,
Bella got lots of new toys and was very appreciative.
She was so excited the whole of Christmas Day, she slept for hours
on Boxing Day.
The weather was not festive at all, grey, foggy and wet.
My garden is disgraceful, I have been very lazy in trying to
tidy it but the weather just isn't conducive to stepping out there.
This murky greyness has resulted in very damp Bella walks.
Here is she is being cheeky and sitting on the back of my Mum's armchair
following a said damp walk.
Crochet
I was able to have some down time and picked up my crochet hook.
I'm revisiting my Hello Winter Blanket and crocheting a larger border,
this one drapes over the end of my bed during Winter and I just want it to look bigger.
It also colour tones perfectly with Bella on my lap.
She's under there, loves to snuggle.
I also got the urge to do some sorting out.
Perhaps it is the prospect of New Year, a reset button flicks in my head
and I feel like I need to purge.
The boys bought me some photo storage boxes for Christmas
and I've been getting organised with those.
I discovered this photo which made me so happy.

I have a crochet bag - it must be in my DNA!
I am now tackling my yarn storage - that's taking longer!
I've put together all the blankets I currently have for sale -
they are taking up valuable storage space so I'm
doing a very special sale here with BIG discounts for my blog followers.
All are washable, you just pop them in a laundry bag/pillowcase and use a
delicate cycle.
There's just one of each - free postage - please click links.
You'll be making me very happy with space to fill with...yes, more yarn probably!

Ooo I've watched quite a lot!
I do love a Christmas special and Call the Midwife did not let me down,
I sobbed a bit and then smiled a lot - all normal.
I've kept a few more Christmas specials as treats to watch in depressing January.
Charity Kits
Just a reminder that going forward kits are alternate months so February
is the next one.
I've updated the Charity Kits page here - it details the 2022 chosen charities.
There is still space for a couple more so suggestions welcome please.
I am going to have a January kit sale so please watch this space -
determined to get some cupboard space!
And that was my crimbo week - truly hope Santa was kind
and brought you some goodies.
Remains for me to say lots of thanks for stopping by
each week and reading all my ramblings.
I wish you a happy and very importantly, healthy New Year.
And if you make a crochet purchase I'll ensure to get it to you
ASAP!
Take care friends, much love.

Lovely to hear you have a lovely Christmas and Bella was so excited. I wouldn't worry about the garden tidying. It's good to leave it untidy I do my tidying in the spring so that wildlife can use the plants for shelter and food. Weather here has not been too bad. The odd fog morning and a couple rainy days, but otherwise relatively dry. Lovely photo and crotchet bag. Gorgeous blankets Christine. Wishing you a wonderful year. Happy new year xx take care stay safe xx
Morning Christine.
Thank you for another lovely chat and a Bella fix.
I wish you and your family a very Happy and healthy new year,
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Great catch up on all your news, lots of great photos especially the one of Bella.
Happy New Year to you & your family.
Michele
Happy New Year to you and your family Christine x
Hello Christine the weather here over Christmas was like yours so grey and dreary. Yesterday though it was so mild I did actually spend some time in the garden raking up leaves and today we had some sunshine and blue skies thus morning. Don't understand this weather at all!! Had a very quiet Christmas just by myself and as I have entered the 21st Century and bought myself a new tv I had plenty to browse through on I player and ITV hub though didn't really watch anything apart from Strictly and Call thd Midwife!!
I will no doubt be in bed before the bongs tonight but wishing you and all the family a happy new year and let's hope for everyone to have a healthy one too xx
Wishing you and all your family a healthy, happy 2022. WakeyL
Lovely crocheted blankets. My granddaughter loves the one I made her for Christmas and now I am making a cushion cover to match. Wishing you a Happy and Healthy 2022
Sunday, 2 Jan. Happy New Year Christine, and to your family.. Thank you for including The Lullaby Trust in your list of Charities for 2022., it means a lot.. I love your photo storage system, I think I need to do something like that. I have photos stuffed in all sorts of places, no consistency to any of it I’m afraid. That can be my new year resolution, although my track record isn’t very good I should add! Take care Jean x
Hi Christine, I would love to buy a blanket but am not sure who to pay when I get to Paypal. Can you help me please?
Many thanks
Kay
