I thought it might be time to post SOMETHING… maybe just a Christmas wish, maybe something more… its been so busy leading up to Christmas that I haven’t had a spare minute to even think about the blog.
My bad.
So what have I been doing, you might ask? Well. I’ve been grooming dogs. And dogs. And more dogs. I made more crazy critters for the market, and more wind chimes. I did the last two Saturday markets in New Norfolk. We’ve had a film crew here two weekends in a row, filming a short movie for Tropfest in our house. I’ve been watering the garden and ignoring the height of the weeds we call a lawn.
Yep. I’ve been a bit busy.
So today is a day of rest. The plan had been to take out the canoe and take a picnic and spend the morning on the water. But we slept in, had coffee in bed, opened presents and had a late breakfast…
Later today we’re doing a one hour slot on the local radio station and visiting some friends. A relaxed and easy day.
Last night I finally had the time to make some Christmas cards for my various FB pages and groups…
You’ve already seen the Junk4Joy card at the top of this post… and lastly, my personal card…
Its been a few years since I actually posted cards. I used to send out tons when I was younger but now I only do electronic ones. How lazy am I?
And yes, I don’t care how politically incorrect it might be to say ‘Christmas’ but I don’t care. To me it is and always will be Christmas, so as much as I respect others’ right to believe what they want to, I expect them to respect my right to say Merry Christmas!
On a crafty note, this year I made some little tree decorations to sell at the markets.
There are multilayered white on white ornaments, made using scrap fabric, vintage lace, iron on stiffening fabric and felt. Oh, and buttons and cotton as ties.
Pretty cute, even if I do say so myself.
I’ll share some pics of the newest batch of critters later – the pics I have of them so far are really bad. Also some of the other stuff I’ve managed to do around here in all my free time.
I really needed this break.

Merry Christmas to you Zefi and thank you for taking a break to share your cards and pretty layered trees! I like your electronic cards and I don’t think you’re lazy at all! My friends and family only get a merry Christmas through Facebook or by text if we don’t see each other first – and I’m not busy, so I have no excuse! I am feeling pretty lazy though after seeing all that you do – I’d better get going on finding something worthwhile to do with myself for the new year. Have a happy and healthy 2018, and try to take it easy! Lol!

Thank you! I sometimes dream of giving everything up and just work and play in the house and garden… but it’ll never happen. I can’t help myself!
