Xmas Makes...

Now that the holidays are over and life is getting back to normal I remembered I hadn't shared here some of the gifts I made for family and friends as their Christmas presents.I do like to make as many as I can when I have the time.

I'm really pleased with this quilt, a gift for my oldest friend, we were at school together, and backed with fleece for these cold winter evenings.

The fabric is Basic Grey, P B & J.

I made a few of these thread catchers too for crafty friends & family.

I received a fab thank you photo back from a friend showing her keeping her ball of wool in it to stop it rolling away when crocheting :)

It's a great feeling to hear your hard work is appreciated x

I have more to share just need to find the photos.

One Little Word 2015.

I'd like to wish you all a Very Happy New year xxx

For the past few years I've joined in with the concept of One Little Word, created by Ali Edwards, where you find a word to help guide you through the coming year. I like the way you can keep referring back to it during the year, to keep you on track. So with this in mind my word for 2015 is...

Savour.

One of the dictionary definitions I found said...

To enjoy food or an experience slowly, in order to enjoy it as much as possible.

This makes the word - Savour - absolutely perfect for my 2015. I have to admit the  last year has been a difficult one for our family and also for some of our friends with heartache & tragedy touching their lives. 

I can't guarantee how things will turn out this year but we have some special milestones & occasions coming up that really will be celebrated & I intend to make the most of the good moments and savour them slowly. The word slowly was one of the aspects that drew me to this word as my life & I think most people feel the same about theirs, is going much to fast & I plan to try & slow it down a little if I can. 

I plan to savour...

- time spent with my loved ones.

- the company of my wonderful friends.

- having my children still living at home/ nearby.

- my health.
- opportunities that come my way.

- my time & not get stressed by self imposed deadlines.

I plan to revisit this during the year so watch this space...
