WOYWW 864 Merry Christmas to you all!

Hello all and merry Christmas! I hope you’re all happy and well (especially our Neet and all others with health concerns.)
I’m sending you all this card, with Minerva’s owl to wish you a creative new year (with a donation to the Woodland Trust).

I have just this minute finished Brian’s chevron blanket, made long and wide as he requested. 

He’s getting it early as it’s forecast cold tonight and it has the Bella-tested snuggle rating. She sends you all purrs, but wants to know where the Crispmouse is?

I’ve also made my apricot and almond bara brith, which we prefer to Xmas cake. 

I had a lovely catchup with our LLJ on Monday. 
This was a real tonic after our shopping in Sainsbury’s. We queued for so long I made up a ditty:

Oh come all ye shoppers
Sainsbury’s wants your money
But it isn’t funny
How we have to queue. 
Oh come get your shopping
And don’t you start till-hopping
Oh come and get your offers
Oh come our precious shoppers
Oh come and empty our shelves
And wait, wait, wait.

It kept me amused in the queue anyway!
And finally..






Wishing you all a merry Christmas and a happy WOYWW
Hugs
Lynnecrafts xx

Well; done on getting the blanket finished, it looks fabulous and I bet it's cosy. I was out shopping this morning before 8, the shops were empty (ish) but they were expecting crowds around now! Hope you have a great Christmas and happy New Year. Helen #2

Oh the blanket turned out fabulous! Stunning colours and big too. Bella looks quite happy on it. The owl is gorgeous too (add a bit of holly, scan and make it your Christmas card next year) and OMG the gingerbread man fgunny made me hoot. Enjoy your day and snuggle up - it is going to be a cold one! Happy Christmas Eve WOYWW!
