Where did the last four months go?

 

The North wind doth blow ,and we shall have snow , What will the Robin do then poor thing?He'll stay in the barn,to keep himself warm,and hide his head under his wing ,Poor thing.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

So just what have I been doing this winter?

Well staying in the barn bungalow as much as possible,not with my head under my wing though ,well maybe the duvet a couple of times when a chest infection rendered me useless .I have done lots of sewing and knitting ,so brace yourself for a pic fest !!

Maurice retired in November due to Ostio Arthritis ,in his legs and couldn;t drive for a while ,he had a cortizone injection in his knee,that with time was a success ,so we are back to visiting family again .

 

In aticipation of the birth of my Great Grand son I made a quilt

 

Here I am with Bella Rose  my dear little Great Granddaughter

 

So pleased to meet you Leo ,born November 5th ,my Dear Grandaughter Charlottes little boy .

 

Four generations Me ,Sharon Charlotte and Leo

 

and with Aunty Kate

 

I crocheted poppys for remembrance

 

And made loads of minion hats ,for lots of little people and Stuart my Grandson !

 

 

I made my sister in law Jackie a cushion for her  birthday

And at the end of November it was brother in law Mikes birthday   

Some of the material was from a shirt ,that Maurice donated  ,hence the message on the back !!

Of course Leo had to have the baby version of the minion hat hee hee .
