Angels

Angels come in different shapes and forms. Here's a shot of our resident angel, all decked out in her holiday gear, tutu and bow. Add a pretty back drop and a little fur and you have an adorable photo opportunity.
Then there's the angels we don't ever have the opportunity to have the privilege to meet in person. Carol Lee is that type of angel. She lives in Australia, I've never met her, and never had any contact with her until a couple of weeks ago, when she contacted me about the Embroidered Village Bag book. She read that I was looking for it and very kindly offered to send me her copy of the book. It arrived and it's been thumbed through, looked at and admired.
Thank you so much for your generosity Carol. I'm looking forward to making a start on it in the New Year.
Life's been quiet here, we've all had a good dose of the winter flu and it's kindly revisited me for a third round. So my head feels like a pumpkin, and my body feels like I've been flattened by a steam roller. So not too much of anything going on here, especially nothing in the crafty department.
Only a few days until Christmas is upon us. Am I ready? No, I'm not. Holidays tend to remind me of how much I miss my family, but I've decided I'm going to stop talking about it and do something about a trip home next year, before any more years pass.
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas, filled with love, joy, peace and family.
Linda
