December Day Twenty-Five

We had a lovely Christmas Day today, with excited children, good company and good food. 

We spent yesterday chopping, cooking and slicing so that the only cooking today was too glaze the ham, and simple tasks like assembling salads and whipping cream.

The MOML's parents joined us, so with Mum here as well, we had three great-grandparents in residence. 

Not many photos were taken, a group one would have been nice but there was too much playing, too much eating and too much talking to get around to that!

The icing on the cake today was our son-in-law milking tonight - giving the MOML the first milking off on Christmas Day EVER!

Oh and the second layer of icing on the cake was what every farmer dreams of at Christmas; a nice bit of late afternoon rain. 

'til next time,

happy stitches,

December Day Twenty-Four

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas ♥

I hope you are able to spend the day with people you love doing things you love,

Best Wishes,

December Day Twenty-Three

And then there were six!

After a trip to town this morning, I had some time to sew this afternoon.

And I completed the cushion I started yesterday :-)

I didn't spend a huge amount of time hunting through my fabrics but I think it came up pretty well.

And managed to find a recycled zip to use- it's probably one Mum unpicked out of a dress Years Ago!

I inspected the old plum tree again this morning hoping for some fruit for breakfast - it's laden this year. In spite of the splashes of red everywhere, I couldn't find a single ripe one!

Wee Tammy is doing well. She's making herself at home.

'til next time,

happy stitches,

Raewyn
