Now your idea for Christmas decorating was perfect! We didn't have a tree this year, our card are propped up on various surfaces and somehow I didn't have the energy to go all out with Christmas decorations. We had lunch anyway at our daughter's house and everyone else were then going on hols.<br />Your darling tabby cats remind me so, so much of Marmaduke, he was the first cat we gave a home to a few months after arriving in NZ in 1980. Our neighbours cat had kittens, the three children loved the long haired kitty - Marmalade - and we said a big yes to her coming to live next door with us. After a week or so I was told that sadly they were going to have the last male kitten taken to the vet and put to sleep as they couldn't keep him any longer, well, we couldn't handle that so he came to live with us, a beautiful tabby he was. He was my special pal for 14 lovely years but then developed cancer in his mouth and there was nothing to be done, we had to do the kindest thing for him as he was no longer able to eat, so back to the vet.<br />Gosh, I think I had better continue on with your blog post - a lovely family photo for the album and I have never seen pine comes that colour, they're beautiful.<br />Clare I wish you all the very best for the New Year, I hope you can continue to manage your health as best you can under the circumstances and can carry on with your quilting!<br />Oh I forgot the beautiful tray cloth, I remember Mum working on some of those but I think they were all given as gifts, luckily I do have two of her tablecloths with embroidery.Mystic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233427034920359604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283839484258569460.post-75768543192509096622019-12-09T18:20:55.603-08:002019-12-09T18:20:55.603-08:00Sorry to hear you're still trying to shake off...Sorry to hear you're still trying to shake off you infection, it's no fun dealing with that and the antibiotics, whilst clearing things up, can bring with them there own set of problems!

You are so lucky to have your iris blooming so well further down the island.

We probably should be more relaxed about our long term finishes, life happens and sometimes we have to cope with other matters. <br />Was Janeen into ballet as a little one, it's a sweet embroidery cloth.<br />Elephants - love them!!
