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

Wonderful card and good you found such a friend to share the loss.
"Too hot", LOL.
Cute hats. And jumper! And nails (mine are all broken).
Ronnie looks hungry indeed! Must go to dm for that tea!
LOL, to wine, mulled wine, it´s cold ever here.
Happy T-Day and Merry Christmas, hugs
What a festive post 😊. Loving those little hats and your wreath is so beautiful! Happy T Day and wishing you a Merry Christmas! Hugs, Jo xx
Ha ha I love the "spending it all on wine" meme. Also love your jumper/dress, it looks great. I decided to make a wreath today with plants from the garden. If the kitty has worms you might be able to tell, as they ahem crawl out at night sometimes while the cat is asleep or you might see them on his bed. TMI lol Happy Christmas and Happy T Day!
Thanks for the tip. I haven't seen any worms crawling yet, but then I haven't really been looking out for them. (I will now)
I can't wait to be out in the sunroom and doing craft things. The little hats and Lindt chocolate is a clever idea. My niece works for Lindt, lucky her! Ronnie is so cute. Merry Christmas!
Happy belated T Day and Christmas. Sorry to be so late visiting, but the pain and headaches have been so severe, I haven't been out of bed except for necessities.
That's a lovely and appropriate postcard. Speaking of postcards, I got yours and Ronnie's on the 24th. Just in time for Christmas. Thank you SO much.
That advent calendar must be really challenging. I'm impressed.
Your jumper turned out great after you shortened it. And I LOVE the color of your nails. I may get the courage to paint mine someday.
Ronnie is a real beauty. And I love your wreath.
Isn't Cupper brand tea the BEST? I know I love everything Iris sent me. Yours sounds wonderful. And of course, I thought your wine meme was humorous. Thanks for sharing these with us for T this week.
Love your festive red nails! Keren
