It's all over for another year....how I hate that saying!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Christmas and all the trimmings that goes with it and I'm sorry to be putting everything away for another year, but needs must so I spent today taking down the trees, cards and decorations and storing them all in the garage until November when I can do it all again!</div>

On Christmas Eve we went to the garden centre to feed the reindeer and this year they were very hungry. There's a little machine that you put £1 coin and and it spit's out a tiny amount of food, Rudolph and his friends gobbled it up from little outstretched hands.</div>

Stitching and sewing, painting and creating, Lynn from "Sea Angels" blog, makes the most wonderful fairytale things you can ever imagine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple of weeks ago I was reading her blog when I saw she had sewn onto an old hanky a beautiful scene which she was going to make into Christmas cards. No sooner had I left a comment saying how lovely the cards were than a parcel arrived through the letterbox.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The envelope in itself was a work of art and inside were 4 of the loveliest cards, all tied up with gossamer ribbon.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each of the cards had a different saying typed on the front, and just a hint of glitter.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly on Monday our lovely Mam passed away in the Hospice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mam went into hospital and we were told she had just days left to live after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. We brought her home she fought for six weeks having many "good" days and many "bad" days but always with a smile on her face.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We laughed and cried and had lots of special times and made happy memories.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rather than just letting her body go to waste Mam has kindly donated her body to medical science in the hope that one day there will be a cure for cancer.<br />
<br />
A very brave Lady...My Mam XXX</div>

I managed to get all the washing dried on the line, makes such a difference doesn't it drying washing outside, it comes in smelling all fresh and I need to iron it straightaway then wash day is over and done with in a day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The little orange tin held children's cough pastilles... both were wrapped in green tissue paper and string with a charming post card.</div>

I'll be doing an awful lot of knitting as I'll need hundreds of honeycombs to make a quilt, on second thoughts I might start off with a cushion!!<br />

Way back in November the lovely Louise from H & E put up some workshops on her website which are on a "first come first served" basis so I chose my workshops, pressed the button then waited anxiously for Louise to reply.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not long after I heard I had managed to bag both workshops....and the first one, "Tom of Holland" who is going to show us how to darn, is this Saturday!!</div>

I like my socks to match up so by wasting a tiny bit of yarn this was easily done and I've got about 3/4 of a ball leftover. I'm really fancying knitting the "bee keeper's quilt" with all this left over sock yarn but we'll see as I'm enjoying knitting socks so much.</div>

Both these were knitted from a King Cole pattern with 2 needles instead of 4 so they needed sewing up and to be honest I think I like the 4 needle way best, it was finger's crossed as I come to the toe's though as I only had two balls of each colour but luckily I was left with a tiny bit so panic over!!</div>
