Even though 2020 was a bust, we had some blessings along the way...one of them being our little Catherine born in April, so far, my family and I have stayed healthy, & after 30 years, I was finally able to get our kitchen remodeled (ok...that's not a blessing, but a positive). Christmas came and went so quickly, as it does every year. I'm amazed at the folks that take down their Christmas tree the very next day...I have never been able to do that. It's nice having the house back to normal, but I don't have the heart to take everything down quite so fast! Here's a few pictures of my house....not much...so many totes in the basement, that were, once again, unopened.
In between on-line shopping and wrapping...I did manage to stitch a couple of cross stitch designs..the first is from Notforgotten Farm...
This second one is from Brenda Gervais..I actually started this two years ago and finished it this month...
I crochet'd seven scarves (two are not pictured), two shawls, and a pair of mittens.
And because I didn't have enough to do, I found this pattern on Etsy and made this cute Santa pocket. It was super easy to make! Bits of Cloth on Etsy...she has some wonderful designs!
Sorry to say, I'm either going to have to turn off my comment button or delete my blog. I can't believe the spam and advertisements I get in the comment section. I'm not going to post any pictures of my family here anymore for fear someone will copy and paste them somewhere else. It's a shame blogging has come to this and there's really nothing you can do. I've tried all security & privacy measures, but the last post, I had four spam comments..some in different languages and one from a not so nice website (wanting you to click on the message for more information...UGH!)
Anyway...on that sour note....I wish you all a happy week, a Happy New Year! Say safe and mask up!!!
So sorry about the comment issue. I will occasionally get a spam comment, but they are few and far between.
ReplyDeleteYour house looks lovely. I always say the people who take down their decorations the day after Christmas are the one who are decorated before Thanksgiving. Mine stay up until at least January 1st. I always miss all the white lights I have everywhere.
I love that Brenda design. So sweet and your crocheting is lovely.
Happy New Year. Here's to a much better, healthier 2021 ;-)
I don't have a blog, but I believe you can moderate the comments and only post them after your approval. Sorry that some people have to be so nasty. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful home! I love the Santa pocket! I'll have to check out Bits of Cloth on Etsy.
ReplyDeletePlease don't delete your blog! I enjoy all your posts & love all the stitching you do. I hope you can find some way to get rid of the spam & keep your blog going.
Be safe & Happy New Year!
Your photos are heartwarming, thank you! Our tree remains up and lit! And most of our bought gifts came from Etsy this year.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year 🎉🎉🍾🥂
ReplyDeleteLoved the photos! I put little up this year and wanted it down next day. Mark wanted to wait. Santas are packed and trees will be in the attic tomorrow.
