Welcome to the week of Christmas. We have had our local towns parade and this year I noticed that the end of it met the beginning again. They go around the CBD twice each year and often there is a wait before the start comes around again. There was plenty to see and the parade was well supported.
Minions again.
Peppa Pig noticed someone they knew on the street, so run to greet them on the way past.
Our church pastor has always taken part and each year you wait to see what creative idea he has put his family into making.
This clever boy has taken after his grandfather and pedals well around the streets.
Have a soft spot for the beetle. Very cute!!
And security was in place. I am pretty sure everyone was well behaved. The town was out in droves, as the norm, and excitement filled the air.
And this morning it was a little overcast, windy and the tide was out. Never mind, I came home, put the Christmas music cranking, made a coffee and sat down here to meet with you.
Have a lovely Christmas everyone. Keep safe and happy! Remember the reason for the season. Bless you ... Dot :-)
Good day!!! The warmer weather has arrived and folk are out in the summer gear. I thought I had better make up some more little girls dresses and so have made a few sizes in different colours. Not one of my dresses has been the same. It is a lot of fun making each one unique.
There is also one hanging in the shop window.
I crocheted a Soap Saver.
I also crocheted this cowl for a gift. I wouldn't mind getting one for myself. It is such a gorgeous colour, in fact I have added it to my 'wish list'.
This morning I sewed the buttons onto this size 2 block cardigan. It is made with cotton yarn and so is soft to touch.
Over the weekend hubby and I went for a drive with a picnic lunch in tow and pulled up at 'edge of the world' for coffee. We had to make the coffee in the car as it was windy out and there was a shower of rain coming over.
Christmas Day is just around the corner. Are you ready?
Dot :-)
Hello. We have been having some lovely weather and the evenings have enticed me to get out into the garden. The seeds I raised indoors, in egg cartons, have been moved out somewhere in the garden.
In the meantime, over the weekend I was gifted some seedlings from a friend who had an abundance of them. In the mix was aloe vera, mint, celery and tomatoes. I am excited to see how they will all fair and what I can bring to the table over summer. I am not sure how to grow celery so will have to do some research.
Hubby and I have been out a couple of times for evening walks. We have had a few days of rain which was well received.
I am trying out some new herbal teas. This 'three mint' one was the first one to try. Very nice!
On the menu for lunch today were seed crackers. This is the second time around I have made them and I thinned them out more which made them nice and crispy. We had them with soup and dip.
Next week I will share with you a few things I have been doing in the craft corner.
See you then ... Dot
