And cards are created...

I've finally gotten around to creating some cards for our neighbors....I'm not sending out many Christmas cards this year due to family circumstances, but I thought I would show you a few of what I've been creating....
Some are not Christmas related but most are... It's been quite a few years since I was in this craft box; hope you like them; I enjoyed making them.

To those who have loved ones passed, I'm thinking of you,

To those who have had their lives turned upside down recently, I'm thinking of you, 

To those who are alone this Christmas, I'm thinking of you,

To those who can't afford a present for their children, I'm thinking of you,

To those who have lost a child, I'm thinking of you, 

To those who have lost a parent, I'm thinking of you, 

To those who it is your first year without a loved one, I'm especially thinking of you.

Thanks for all your wonderful support throughout the year, thanks for reading my blog.....

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas for 2012, and good health for 2013.

I'll be back before 2013 as long as I have time.....take care and keep your family close!

And the winner is...Me!

I recently told you about a competition on the Down to Earth Forum for the best post for the month of May.....and told you that I won........

My prize arrived in the mail yesterday, bright and early......DS19 had a rostered day off....so I got him to take a photo of me wearing my lovely new apron...I needed more hands....but I hung the dishcloths over the pockets and held onto the lovely wool....

I love the colour of my new balls of wool...
The wool that Rhonda sent is WOOLganic Knitters Yarn, spun from 100% certified organic Australian Merino Fleece Wool....Wow Rhonda....as far as wool is concerned, It can't get any better than this....it's lovely thank-you!

Now I just need to decide what to knit with it....Knowing that my knitting is limited to plain I suggested to Rhonda that I am thinking of a sunglasses case, or maybe a phone case to match....My mum thinks I need to knit a scarf...but I don't know how many stitches to start with or how long it would get with two balls....Is two balls of wool enough to knit a scarf? I don't know.

Many Thanks Rhonda!

What do you think I should knit with my lovely prized wool?
