My New Years Resolutions

Well heres a photo of our xmas tree, it' s a bit dark but I tried to get the twinkling lights and failed. It looks a bit wonky in the photo actually, probably just my bad cameramanship.

The last view before it all goes into it's box and back up into the loft for another year. We have to take it down today as we're having new windows fitted tommorrow.

My New Years resolution this year is to try and keep the ironing pile down to a bare minimum and to be a more up to date blogger, I'm sure I won't keep either of these though I think I'd have more chance losing a few pounds. Happy New Year to everyone.

The best birthday present ever

Well this was just the best thing ever, the size of the parcel was huge and I was proud of myself for waiting until my b'day to open it. My lovely friend Christine made and sent the beautiful tote bag and needlecase for me. I think she is so talented and so very thoughtful in her choice of fabric for them.

The knitting that's started is the second of a pair of socks for Katie I really must get around to finishing. I'm knitting them using a cotton mix and the stitches are so tiny.
