 WITH THE WASSAILING BOWL WE'LL DRINK TO THEE!

Here we are then, the very last day of 2025, another year of desky sharing, fun and camaraderie over and a new one lies ahead. I wish you all good health, happiness and joyful times through 2026.

It's been an odd year for us with many best laid plans going AWOL, this continued when our son Owen couldn't make it home for Christmas, he's been extremely poorly with flu or Covid, so we jointly decided to postpone things. That's just the way this year has been!

I have been back in the Jancave after getting things back to normal:

It's been good to get back to some sewing! I had one metre of this funky sunflowers fabric in my stash so am making 1 folding tote, 4 glasses cases and 3 little zippy bags (and a partridge in a pear tree, la la la!)

This makes me happy!

I've also been trying out other knitting patterns and enjoyed making this little rabbit:

She stands about 7" high - the pattern was bought from Etsy and is the most verbose, fussiest set of instructions I've read recently. And I disagreed with the construction of quite a few parts so once again did my own thing, especially with the dress....why change the habits of a lifetime eh?? Lol xxx

G and I took down our decorations yesterday, I do like a fresh clean house to start a new year and I'm sorting through the Christmas cards to upcycle or recycle:

I enjoy doing this, upcycling into new cards or tags where possible. 

And that it's for this week. I'd like to thank you all for your continuing friendship and support of my blog. Sending big hugs to you especially Neet, we're thinking of you lovely gal and missing you so much.

Happy New Year from me and my boys, lots of love, LLJ xxxx
