Happy Birthday To....

Me!!
I'm officially 50 something now :-)
My 50th year was not at all bad, in fact you could say it was great, it was the year i became a Grandma (or Nana  as i am being called, and it's so good :-)
~~~~~~~~

The lovely Elaine sent me a birthday gift, i was very well behaved and didn't open it until today, look at that lovely bag, isn't it just gorgeous?
The tin contains some fabric, needles and buttons.
Thank you so much Elaine x


We are all going out for a meal tonight, at the moment i am still enjoying a very lazy day, bliss!.

There was another birthday celebration last Saturday, Jenny, my eldest DD was 30, WOW, i have a daughter who is 30, how did that happen, lol
Another Chocolate cake was made for the celebration


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another gift from Elaine, this time a Christmas ornament.
I think this long legged snowman is so cute, and Elaine finished him into a lovely hanger.


I do have some finishes to share too.  
Baby Row was completed and framed just in the nick of time to give Jenny on Christmas morning.
I'm really pleased with how this turned out, the frame is a lovely soft green which is hard to see from the photo.
I'm happy to say that It was well received :-)

Again finished in the run up to Christmas, this ornament for Oliver went into his Christmas Eve Hamper.
Not a bad first attempt at a heart shaped ornament :-)


And another cardigan for the little man.
I was worried that the random colour in the yarn would look odd, but it worked out ok in the end.

I hope everyone has enjoyed a wonderful Christmas, I haven't managed to get around to reading and commenting on as many blogs as i usually do because of the time of year but i will be back to normal soon enough and catching up.

I'll leave you with a Christmas Day photo of Oliver looking bemused at all the goings on!


(we did try to get his dummy off him but he was not giving it up, lol)

Until next time
Thank you for your visit today x

Oh the magical soother. I was one of those mums who claimed she would never allow one. You can imagine how long that lasted when the endless crying happened with colic etc.

Happy birthday, Maggie!

I agree with you, neither one of us is old enough to have 30 year old children. Stephen will be 30 in April. Wow! Where did the time go. I remember when he was little just like Oliver (and Stephen loved his dummy too!)

Wishing you and your family a very happy new year. Your gifts were lovely.
