Hi all, I’ve been mad busy with work, then almost no internet out west, and back to finish off work things this week on my temp assignment. (And only going back to my proper job for 2-3 weeks as I’m being reassigned again!).
But I have actually been busy crafting for a change, so a few photos to follow. I brought my sewing machine to the holiday house (we both drove so I had room! 🤣), and got 3 burp cloths fully made and 12 more cut and sewn ready to turn (I actually turned and ironed those this morning so only need to top stitch all the way round now to finish those). I also made 6 cushion covers that I had originally intended for Christmas about 8 years ago for DBIL’s house, so now just need 4 of 1 size and 2 of a larger size inserts to finish ready for December. And I have done the ironing part of the remaining 5 placemats for a DAunt’s Christmas present - I completed 1 first to see how it would work and taught myself mitred corners in the process. (I also bought more lovely cotton just before holidays to make a set for our house here, and still more cotton on holidays for some Christmas ones!!). 
well, I have been making great strides in clearing out my older stash!!
I kept up my knitting the evenings we watched tv so the scarf is now about 3’ long.
And I spent my sleepless early mornings cross stitching looking over the Atlantic, I finished 2 more bookmarks while away and made a good start on another (Caravan pattern). I had just finished off the holly leaves recently - which I had probably started about 5 years ago 
Still no decisions on where to spend Christmas this year.
And mostly just keeping on keeping on really - work, buying food and feeding the family, and hunkering down with my crafts.
