Christmas and the New Year

Happy New to everyone... Wow hasn't it been busy.

Our home has been a happy place, with family coming and going. Grandchildren playing in the yard, and we were lucky enough to have the sun shine.

I had a lovely surprise of new crochet hooks and pattern books .My friend Tina also made me a lovely hook roll...

I also belong to an Australian Crochet group, where we had a Christmas gift swap and once again I have been spoilt by recieving such a lovely gift from Maria in Colarado..

 Maria's gift of a crochet bag.

             Thankyou Maria :))   I do love the happy colours ..
Have a blessed week everyone,   back again soon:))
