Happy January :)

Holidays are over and it's time to get back to working on 'stuff' :) but first, a couple of pictures for you.

The beautiful view from my deck, love it when the sun shines on new fallen snow :)

Where ever I live, I want the morning sun to shine in my kitchen/dining area :)

Fina thought this was put there just for her :) proving that cats really do like a circular bed and that they like to be the 'center' of attention.

Like Grandma, like Grandson :)

He loves paper like I do. Now to get him sewing :)

In the background, trailer park life :)

Helping with dishes after a beautiful Christmas dinner.

Helpers for taking down the tree and decorations :)

Happy New Year Everyone

Just a quick hello to wish you all a wonderful New Year. All the best. I'll be back with regular posts next week :)

Taking a Break

I'm taking a little break from my blog. It will be late September when I come back.

I will be looking forward to more Tea on Tuesday with everyone over at Kimmies :)

The Dress

Well, this is the green, Winnie the Pooh dress, finished :)

The pattern is so easy to do and turns out so cute. The dress has elastic to gather the fabric, then is sewn to the crocheted piece. Any bits of fabric can be made up using this idea! If the weather was cooler, you could add a long sleeved top and tights.










At first my gorgeous little Granddaughter didn't want her picture taken, so we got a picture of her back.


















But then, she did!


Isn't that soooo like a two year old :)








I still don't have a picture of the red topped one, using the same fabric. It is longer--half way between knees and ankles and has a pretty crocheted flower on the bodice as well as a little red ruffle on the bottom.

Wildlife

When driving home, we go through a field and the other day my Husband got some photos of a beautiful buck that casually ate around the field that borders our subdivision. Although we are in city limits, we have fields on two sides as well as a river which brings a lot of deer. They wander through our yard every evening during winter.

We also have a bear that enjoys the wild berries too. One lady told me he was a resident of the area! This photo was taken last year and maybe we'll get another one when the berries and apples are ready :) There are houses to the left and right of him and lots of buildings on top of the hill.

Tea on Tuesday........

......And it's a lovely cold drink :)

Nothing special to report today, I'm back from my visit to Vancouver Island which was just too wonderful. I will post some pics when I go over some of them.

However, I'm working on another crochet piece to sew on to a piece of Winnie the Pooh fabric, thereby making a cute little top for my Granddaughter :)


I made a red topped, longer version for a dress, but sent it home with her before I got a photo!
