WOYWW 286

Went to  Yorkshire last  Thursday to see our son, D.I.L. Carolynn and grandsons Harry and Sam. So there has not been much going on there until Tuesday afternoon when we got back. I am still working through makes for Craft Fair. En route to Yorkshire I did some knitting. When boys were at school I helped with preps for school Christmas fair and also covered some wreaths for craft fair I'm doing. Was also going to make some 'bead angels' but had left some stuff at home.

Where I have been working - bit of a jumble!


As you can see below I spread out a bit.




Even onto the window sill.

If you don't know what WOYWW is then click on icon on side of my blog and find out all about it and join in.

All for now. I will visit all who visit me and those ending with with the same number as me.


On Friday as I said I helped with preparations for School Christmas Fair. Spent time with boys when they came home from school and we all had lovely dinner together. On Sat both parents had to work although our son had hoped to come home at lunch time but was needed all day. Luckily didn't have to work all night. We were able to have lovely evening together. On Sat morning we took Sam to band practice. A friend took Harry to football. In the afternoon boys donned cub and beaver uniforms and we took them to do bag packing at local co op to raise funds for a new scout/cub hut. Afterwards we took boys for an ice cream treat. Of course DH and I had a little treat as well- would have been rude not to :-) We then waited for the Christmas Light Switch On - it was a bit of a let down really but the children had a great time.
On Sunday Sam went to football practice and I cooked Sunday lunch. We all went for a walk in the afternoon and then Harry went to a birthday party , Sam stayed at home with DH and I went with my son. When we got back the boys went to bed and my D.I.L. had come home and we had tea together. I took it easy on Monday - a bit more crafting :-) After school DH and I took the boys for their swimming lesson. DS and D.I.L. went to see James Blunt in Leeds. After taking boys to school this morning ( well DH took them) we came home  - and I carried on crafting :-)
Tomorrow collecting our granddaughters from school and giving them some tea. There's never a dull moment :-)

View just over the road from my son's home- he also has this behind his home.

Son and grandsons pointing towards their road and asking if they could go that way as we were going around the block - not far.

  4. Hi Anne - glad you managed some down time after all that activity. I think it's such a lovely time, the run up to Christmas - really exciting, and gets me in the mood (just a big kid, really!) Anyway, I hope the fair does really well - you've got some great stuff there. I particularly like the pretty blue boxes and the wreaths. Happy WOYWW, Chris # 8

  18. Hi Anne,

    Uhoh - my computer is acting up.
    I must say I need to take a break after reading all that you've been busy with! The wreaths and boxes look great. I have an idea for a wreath and if it comes to fruition I'll write a post.

    The mistle toes tags are for nail polish. Several had said socks and I really like that idea too.

    I've had my Thanksgiving meal so it was a perfect time to visit desks - either that or take a nap!!

    Thank you for visiting me already! Happy belated WOYWW

  23. Hi Anne,

    Thanks for visiting my Chris Isaak post. I don't go to a lot of concerts at all. I've been listening to his music for years and years. At the last minute Alyce called and told me she had an extra ticket. Yay!!
