Things To Make Me Smile (and a few things that annoy me)

Christmas

  • Ok I’ve tried to hold off from being Christmassy but I can’t do it any longer – if I do I think I’ll burst! Today in work we were talking about Christmas Films – I’ll keep that for another post ’cause Christmas really does make me smile so there’s LOADS to say about it.  Anyway… Read more

  • Good Intentions

    Well the end of the year is almost here and I am giving lots of thought to crafts for next year. As I type I am absolutely itching to stitch but I’m making a throw and I’m determined to finish it. In fairness I should have finished it AGES ago but as per usual it… Read more

  • The First Sunday of Advent

    (I meant to post this this morning but I forgot – oops! ) As I sit here and type I have no real idea of what Advent is. Is that a terrible thing for me to admit? Anyway before I go off and figure out what Advent is let me tell you about my day… Read more

  • Learning

    Yesterday my email account was hacked and everybody in my address book was sent something – not sure what as I didn’t open it. Anyway three cheers for Google! They decided that it was spam and blocked it so the mails didn’t go anywhere. My only problem after that was to think of a new… Read more

  • December 8th

    Ok so the making a post every day isn’t really working out. There have been two reasons for this – the minor one is that I was away over the weekend doing my Christmas Visits and the major reason is that our internet at home is on the blink. Right now I’m on my lunch… Read more

  • December 3rd

    Yesterday we went to the National Craft Fair after work. There were two stalls that we had to buy stuff from so when we arrived we made bee-lines for them. The first was a pottery stall – last year we bought two cups and a milk jug – they had a holly motif and it… Read more

  • December 2nd

    I had a notion that I would like to make a blog post everyday for the month of December. However I have been foiled at the first hurdle and our internet went down yesterday and still hasn’t returned. I’m writing via my little net book – 3 cheers for a back up! So this is… Read more

  • Starting to emerge.

    Well hello stranger! I know, it’s been ages since I was here – I really am sorry.  I’ve been in a bit of a funk but in the last few days I’ve noticed that it seems to have lifted.  That means there are little traces of me to be found here and there. So what… Read more

  • I do miss them

    Yesterday I took down the Christmas tree and put away the lights and all of a sudden the room looks bare and empty.  There is something about a tree with it’s baubles and lights that make a room look happy – I don’t know what it is.  However last night saw me put them back… Read more

  • Thoughts for the New Year

    I don’t like to make resolutions but I do make lists of good intentions.  Unfortunately for me we all know about good intentions 😦 Anyway Christmas is always December 25th so why this year did it take me as such a surprise?  My preparedness was lacking to say the least and that is such a… Read more
