WOYWW 656 28th Dec

 Good afternoon everyone. I wasn't going to join you this week as I am at my daughters and that means fat fingers on a mobile phone!

I have no desk to show but do have some crocheting with me just blankets for the  cat home. Pictures when I return.

I wish you all a happy and healthy 2022. Ani

 It is nearly here, so what isn't done now will remain undone.

Note to self start earlier in 2022. 

These are two pet stockings I have made one for Barney and the other for my daughters cat, can't give one without the other! After all Barney will be encroaching on the cats territory over Christmas.

I am off to the sewing/knitting group this morning, then we have our Christmas lunch later. Only my 2nd one this season, thanks to Covid some of our groups have never restarted what with covid and Brexit. People who we thought of as residents  apparently weren't official residents and have disappeared back to the UK. 

Sorry didn't have time to finish this before I left  this morning. Enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch.

I wish all WOYWW a very happy Christmas, please be sensible and stay safe.

 Sorry I have been very hit and miss these last few weeks, I promise to do better. 

Hope you are ready for Christmas, I just don't have the Christmas feeling this year. It is quite low key here not at all commercialised. 

I have a Christmas lunch with four friends on Thursday so that may put me more in the mood and another one at knitting/sewing next Wednesday. Then I am turkeyed out so it is beef for Christmas dinner. 

I have been busy knitting and crocheting these blankets for our local cats home, which I delivered today. They were gratefully received.

Instead of Christmas cards for the ladies of the knitting/sewing class I made these little socks and put a wrapped chocolate in each one. Will take them today and see their reaction.

Some of you may have seen my poinsettia photo on facebook, I bought it as a small plant many years ago and planted in the garden. This year it has flowered just at the right time.

When I came to live in Spain permanently well over 20 years ago I purchased a small Christmas tree in a pot for my first Christmas, then afterwards planted it in the garden. Up until a few years ago I decorated it with lights but now it is so tall I can no longer put lights on it. 

 And the last garden photo is of my orange and grapefruit trees. The grapefruits are pink ones and so sweet. I am not supposed to eat them because of the tablets I take, but can't resist one every so often. I have plenty of friends who love them so they don't go to waste.

I suppose my garden has been my work area this last week, always lots of work to do this time of year. 

Well that is me for this week now I will join up with the rest of the ladies at https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ and hopefully visit you all during the week.

Into action finishing the cards I started at my daughters. Need to get them finished as posting dates from Spain will be coming up shortly.

All finished now packed up and priced ready to take to my knit and knatter group today.

We have had some rainy and cold days these last two weeks so the best place has been crafting with the fire on. 

Evening work in front of the fire and tv has been fun things like below.

The first picture is just a little blanket                This is a elf blanket still got the 

for the local cats home, using up my scraps       buckle to do.

of wool.  They are desparate                        

for blankets as they have so many cats in 

their care at the present time. 

Now to link up with Julia and the rest of WOYWW at https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/
