Blanket

Posted on Posted in Memories, UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

My sister knitted a blanket of coloured squares as a Christmas present. I’m impressed with her skill. I think if I did that I would have made a mess out of the sizes or would have struggled to sew the pieces together.

I’m sure it was appreciated, I’m thinking of asking her to make me one too. I’m impressed with her colour choices. Using medium bright tones for a cheerful result. Since making this she has started making one using variations of the colour blue. I think it takes a couple of months to knit.

Sorry if this is boring but I don’t have much to write about.

Cat window

I don’t notice this everyday, but this is a ginger cat window that I designed soon after we moved into our house. My friend, who was actually a carpenter, made this leaded glass window for us. It’s a really unique piece of art and I love it on a sunny day when it really sparkles. It’s about 30 years old now.

If I could I would design another window to sit in the window at the top of the stairs. I like the idea of a really gothic idea with vine leaves and a black and white cat stari6out of the window. Perhaps I will draw or paint the idea.

Snow!

Snow is falling. The road is covered by it and since we live on a steep hill cars are coming up but doing three point turns because of it. I’ve seen at least 5 reversing lights through the front door window so far tonight. I think it was gritted during the initial snow fall, but they haven’t come back and it’s 11.45pm now.

It’s worrying because this is the main route ambulances take up to the hospital. We don’t get a lot of snow in the winter so I thought it was worth taking a photo. I hope it clears up soon. Another car just turned up the street then turned round and one crept down the hill very slowly. We just aren’t used to snow in this country.

WordPress problem?

I keep getting a message when I try and like people’s posts….

“there is a problem with your request, please try again later”…

It’s annoying because I like to go through peoples posts on the reader section of WordPress and mark the ones I like. I’ve tried twice today but it still doesn’t seem to be working?

So for all of you who I would have liked here’s a thumbs up to you! 👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

Merry Christmas

Not the best card I’ve ever drawn but I’m limited in what I can do because my computer needs setting up so I did a finger painting in Artrage and they edited it in something called Sketcher app.

I’ve donated to Parkinsons UK this year so I’ve not sent any cards.

I hope you all have a lovely time wherever you are and no matter what you celebrate or don’t.

Let’s hope for more peace and less war and conflict in the coming year. Try and do at least one kind or generous thing for someone in 2026. You don’t have to be boastful about it. Just try and care.

Kindest regards X
