The tree is up and the lights sparkle, the snow is on the ground and the fire warms our toes and in the late evenings warms my soul until I fall cosy and happy into a dream filled sleep with a glass (or two) of mulled wine and my knitting on my knee...
After over six months of my home resembling a building site it is finally starting to come together and feel like home. Home is indeed not about the place you live but how you live, with your family and friends, love, laughter and indeed some tears. Its safe and feels secure, the love within your family radiates out from every photograph on the wall, child's drawing thumb tacked to the wall, even the spilt juice on the sofa all means a place full of love, living and indeed history.
So as the year comes to an end and the next days are filled with chilling out time, celebrating Christmas and all it means and just being part of something, I look back on the last year and all that it brought me and indeed taught me. So many changes, so many tears and lots and lots of laughter as one thing after another went wrong to the degree you could but laugh...
I started on a new career path and have learnt so much and returning back to being a student was a challenge in itself. Pleased to be back to my blog world although not able to write as freely as before, and of course the blessing of Dotty Red, releasing my creative work (somewhat nervously) on to the world. Scary but what an experience. Even now I have my pad of sketches as I play about with designs for new product lines to introduce. How happy I am that through my work I have met so many beautiful people and whilst I cant actually say I am in business I excited about the future.
So I wish you and yours a fabulous Christmas and a New Year filled with joy, health, happiness and some excitement. I thank you from my heart for reading my blog and sharing in my adventures and sharing in yours... HAPPY CHRISTMASPictures from around my home
