It's a showery old day here this morning in my little corner of the world. I'll take that after the early ramp up of Summer storms of late.
Yesterday was a little emotional as I oversaw the last day of my Father's in laws house clear out. Wandering through my late husbands childhood home....one where I had spent so much time in as well, since I was sixteen years old, bare and empty is hard to put into words. So many memories. We even had a little gathering here for our engagement. Found these treasures so please excuse my indulgence.
It's a difficult process as you cannot absorb another's lifetime into yours even when you keep treasures and memories. My in laws on their wedding day.
This week I also gathered with my stitching friends for a Christmas lunch. It was lovely....Beer battered fish and chips and salad for me....any chance I get lol! We have been dear friends and gotten together on a fortnightly basis for nearly 40 years. So much shared and celebrated between us.
Gorgeous white Christmas bird from Bev. Anyone would think she knows me well lol!
And we all have a lotto entry from Moira...fingers are crossed lol!
How very cute is this Frosty Christmas trim from Lorel. Lots of beautiful cards were also exchanged.
I have added a little more Christmas here and there....so I'm proud of myself.
My Handmade Decorations tree has become two now. They are so special and I enjoyed remembering where and whom they all are from.
Such lovely treasures from lovely stitchy friends! I also added a little Christmas to my living room coffee table.
I am still deciding on my dining room table as I still have to box up some items from the FILs that are languishing there.
Whilst at lunch my friend Lorel whipped out this treasure that was her Grandmothers to see if I could use it for my slow stitching....of course I hated it and definitely couldn't use it....sigh*
My stitching has been working on my Treasures quilt....very nearly there. So nothing really to show.
Righto....coffee and maybe a little gingerbread man awaits.
Be good to one another.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
