Hello lovely girls,
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Ready or not, tonight is Christmas Eve. I have everything ready, and I'm excited. Presents and sweet things nicely wrapped, plus a bottle of wine and a card with a Christmas wish. Those friends I'm not expecting to see, I'll go round their house to deliver the goodies. It's such fun to give.
My card for today is the Christmas card from my friend Janet:
She lives in Lucar, about 40 km away from here. It's on small roads so quite a trek. But we meet most Sundays after church (She goes to a different church than I do) and we have a meal together. We take turns in cooking. Janet lost her husband a few months before I lost mine, so we are both widows. I (try to) help her with her Spanish, but really we just have a lovely time together.
Janet had a number of these cards made with the view from her village
A she hand-delivered this card, there is no stamp.
The weather in the day-time is really lovely. I love it when I can sit outside in the sun (in summer it is too hot). So I have been sitting outside doing craft things:
I'm making these little hats:
Then I stuff a chocolate ball (wrapped of course, you know the Lindt type) inside and they make cute little extras to give.
I have also been doing some altering. I bought a Christmas jumper at Lidl, not really paying attention. And it turned out to be a mini dress. Well, that doesn't suit me at all, so I shortened it by hand while sitting on the terrace in the sun:
Now it's just a jumper.
I've had my nails done in a Christmas colour:
It's called Cat's Eye Red
And my Christmas wreath is also in place:
My cat Roneo (AKA Ronnie) is doing fine, but is constantly hungry. He probably needs worming as he has been outside before he came to me.
Today we are also having the T-Party, hosted by Elizabeth and Bluebeard. So my drink reference is this one:
The cup of tea I'm drinking at the moment.
The advent jigsaw puzzle is nowhere near finished:
I'd say it's three quarters done.
That's all from me today.
Wishing every one a very lovely Christmas.
Hugs,
Lisca
