I have been so so busy but thought I would just give a quick post to let you know that I am in the land of the living still. I had a wonderful day yesterday when my friend Nicola came for a visit. We had a fun morning at my house and then went off to our friend Colly's for lunch. We ended up spending the rest of the day at Colly's laughing and joking and sharing stories. No stitching from any of us which considering the amount I still have to do before Christmas was naughty but nice (just like the cream cakes).
Tonight I have been to see my darling grandson in his school play and that was another non-stitchy but very enjoyable time.
As I have no stitching pictures I thought I would show you some flowers. Despite the frost and cold these are flowering outside my door and these pictures were taken yesterday.
Please accept my sincere apologies for not visiting blogs over the last few days. I know you are all beavering away at your stitching projects just like me and I will catch up as soon as I have my pressies finished.
Also thank you for visiting me and for taking the time as so many of you do to leave a little comment, it is really appreciated.
Hugs

Ah hon those flowers look so amazing. What a lovely touch of color on a wintery day. Hope things are well with you. This time of year seems to be catching up with us all. Busy fingers everywhere.
ReplyDeleteIt is a busy time of year for all of us. Love your flowers they are beautiful and cheery.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers Helen, are the white ones jasmine?
ReplyDeleteNice to see flowers in the winter! Good to hear from you, was wondering where you were!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time with your friends.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers, i don't see any flowers outside my house anymore.
Pretty flowers, nice azalea!
ReplyDeleteHi Helen,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are having fun and that all is well.
Not a problem as it's that time of year!
I haven't been able to update my blog as DD took the camera which has all of my pictures on it off to a camp where she is volunteering this week. Sigh...

It's nice to see a bit of colour through the horrible winter weather.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. I'm afraid that I have a foot of snow on the ground so I don't see much of anything blooming around home. I love your Xstitch bird you used as your header.
ReplyDeleteHelen, I will look for that designer for you. I can tell you that it was the most expensive pattern I've ever bought, but I just fell in love with it. I should still have it somewhere. The designer is on the tip of my tongue.
ReplyDeletelovely flowers Helen
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers. The frost has done for ours, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI so miss those school plays & the like now my DS is all growed up LOL - bet you had a lovely time. :0)
Lovely flowers, it is so nice to see them since all I have is snow and dreary overcast sky at the moment. Good luck with getting everything done you have going on. Tis the season to be easily overwhelmed, so make sure you don't over do.

Those flowers look great. You soiund far too busy to be finding time to stitch. Hope the play is good.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful flowers Helen. Have a lovely "festive" season - your grandson's school play sounded wonderful. :) x
ReplyDeleteWe did have a lovely day, didnt we Helen, and guess what, we get to do it all over again on saturday. Your flowers looks so pretty they really brighten a drab winters day.
ReplyDeleteHugs Colly

Merry Christmas and Happy New year from our house to your house. (hugs)
