Firstly thank you all for visiting last weeks WOYWW and leaving your lovely comments. I really enjoy reading them.
What a busy week I have had, out to lunch three times. When am I going to start that diet?
First lunch was with the 'flutterkickers' - my swimming exercise group that meet in the summer months, but we keep in touch during the winter by having a lunch date once a month.
Second lunch the Dames in Spain (pretty much like the WI in the UK) it was called Winter Warmers lunch, everyone was so busy around Christmas to have a Christmas lunch so hence this one.
The third was at a friends house, who wanted to know how I made these 'The cross in your pockets'. I made them as a talent a few years ago when all our church congregation was given 5€ and asked at least to double it. She had been given £5 by her church in the UK and asked to double it. She had brought the materials over from the UK but couldn't decide how to put them together, so a pleasant morning spent sewing and of course gossiping then a lovely roast chicken dinner for my troubles. When she said lunch I never expected a roast.
Hence with all this gadding about my desk is not looking very productive but I did glace at my birthday book to see what special cards would be needed in the next three months. My daughter in law will be 45 and loves her bingo so I have been trying to design a card with the bingo numbers including 45. Then I have another friend who will be 90 and thought ok - 90 is top of the house so perhaps I could kill two birds with one stone so to speak but bingo is certainly not his thing, but then perhaps Scrabble is. So this is my desk:-
Well once I had removed my faithful companion.
Not very interesting but at least I have made a start.
Remember last week when I said the weather was cold well this week we had some snow on the mountains, virtually unheard of so near to the coast.
Thankfully it has warmed up now and today was a very pleasant 23C sat in the sun, but must admit it does go colder once the sun disappears.
I am a little late posting this but as I've said before Wednesday is a busy day for me, with sewing/knitting group in the morning and a Women on Wednesday meeting in the afternoon. And to crown it all my computer didn't want to wake up this morning, then the internet didn't work, and even typing this I have had to keep saving as the computer keeps cutting out.
But here goes now to link up with Julia at

It has been cold in Phoenix too - and I took warm clothes as I was warned but I was still cold.
Hugs & Thanks for visiting me, Neet 2 x
Don't lunch as often as I used to, exchange rates etc means we get less €'s to the £ these days and something had to go. Making good use of my knitted jumper from last week.
DeleteHave you blogged how to make the cross in you pockets? They are lovely. God Bless BJ#27
ReplyDeleteNo perhaps I could make my first youtube video haha. Thanks for visiting have a good week. Ani
DeleteGreat start on those cards! I love the pocket crosses, they look soft and touchable! I love my lunches out with friends - makes my week! More important than calories. . .! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #46
ReplyDeleteWell, what a week, Ani. All those lunch invites! Diets are over-rated, I reckon!! Shouldn't worry about it. Well done on helping your friend with those little cross in my pocket gifts. Hope she manages to sell them well and support her church.
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.
