 FOR AULD LANG SYNE MY DEAR…

Well, it’s the last few days of 2022 which has been an odd year to say the least. There have been so many highlights which I shall choose to remember, the down times will be consigned to the bin! Thank you for the friendship, support and amazing crafty inspiration, I genuinely enjoy every Wednesday seeing what all my desky compadres are up to!

Not much crafting has happened….I started one Christmas prezzy though:


And I finished off the crochet blanket whilst sitting in front of the fire! 

So it just remains to wish you all a happy, healthy and fun filled 2023 - may good things come your way xxxxxxx

Got bored waiting so came in search of a friend and sure enough, she had posted. Love the blanket you finished and the jigsaw leaves me in awe. It looks massive. Good luck with that, look forward to seeing it done.
Happy New Year to you and yours,
Hugs, Neet xx

One of my bloggy friends sent me a online jigsaw . . . I actually did it and then went and found a few more!!!
It wasn't as complicated as yours but I'm sure just as enjoyable. Blanket's looking great.
Wishing you good health and happiness in 2023

Your house is so tastefully decorated, Jan! Lovely words about the past year - you're right, let's keep the good memories and forget about the rest - but only after having learned the lessons. I've just listened to a podcast that said life is always trying to teach us something, and until we have learned our lesson, it will keep repeating them. I think that's true and I have learned a lot this past year. Wishing you a very happy 2023! xx zsuzsa #7

Hi Jan, I've just opened a jigsaw that I bought during lockdown. It's ages since I worked on one so I'm taking it easy a bit at a time. I am trying to do the outside edge first and I can see that's the way you've started yours though it's not easy as it's a circle and the same colour all the way round so we'll see. Sorry I'm late today as it's been a difficult two days with losing Stan and though I know it was time for him to leave us it is a very sad time. Take care and wishing you a very Happy and Crestive New Year. Hugs, Angela xXx

Wishing you a very happy and healthy 2023. Anne x 17

That’s a lovely bouquet on the sideboard, and your trees look gorgeous. And a fab puzzle as always, love the way you have so meticulously laid out all the pieces. A lovely post Jan, I hope you know that it’s your friendship and support that does so much for all of the WOYWWERS. A v happy new year, I wish you masses of good health as a starter for ten! Xxx
