and so in rolls a New Year..

Happy New Year everyone.  I confess we did stay up to see it in......I can't remember the last year we did to be honest and now I know why ..... Late nights do not suit me especially when pupster woke me at 4am howling like a puppy, I think the wind frightened him and there I was at 4am giving him a cuddle until he was ok to settle again.

Well it has been windy here ,quite scary so I don't blame anyone being afraid.  Little Man has been so frightened so he has been in with me but even then he hasn't slept well, so a nice duvet and pillow has been left on the settee so he can nod off if he wants during the day.

Before storm Frank arrived we did at last get a hour on the beach at Aberporth on Tuesday, by golly it was chilly..Dextie loved it and went into what must of been freezing water...made me shudder to watch.


This is my Christmas Cracker swap from Debi from Busy Little Chickens blog.  The swap was organised by Tracy from Mad about bags blog.  Debi and I chatted over the Internet and this is what she sent me...






I so love Angels 













Beautiful wrapped 
(Funnily I used a similar fabric)














Fabric and cross stitch







Decorations and bookmarks






Another angel and pegs 






Handmade keyring






chocolate and handmade earring






I do not know how Debi fitted all this in the cracker







and then a extra something
a hand covered notebook
With a big spring of Lavender 

Thank you Debi I love it all.xx

Now in my haste to see how many thinks I could fit 
in a kitchen roll I forgot to take pictures!!


So 
You will have to pop over to Debi's to see what 
I sent

Thanks to TRACY for arranging 
such a fun swap.

I am not sure if I mentioned  I was
hoping to join the very local WI 
in the next village.
This morning I received a call inviting me
to the first meeting of the year 
on Monday.
I am really looking forward to it
and will let you know
how it goes.

A really nice start to the New Year ..
Husband's  reply when I told him was
"Oh goody CAKE!!"

On that note
Wishing you all the best year ever.
