So, how about a little context then….
It’s not too untidy, but will continue in its role of catch-all-dumping-station for another couple of days, no doubt! The wooden plate and tray and big fruit bowl are waiting to be put away, I have Christmassy versions of them and so they take up each others room in cupboards etc, so that works out. The grey things on the right are zippered storage bags. I bought two, from Temu. Naturally I can’t remember what brilliant idea I had for them now. I need a whole day at my desk just to get in the zone again, it might help!
Neet if you’re visiting, know that we think of you all the time, wish we could be visiting you!
However your Christmas holiday passes, please spend it knowing that you have friends. Less sentimental posts, cards and desks can be found over at Sarah’s, as usual.

Happiest of holidays to you and yours. The card is truly lovely, but then you are my cardmaking guru! I still have one or two from the mass-making event I attended YEARS ago, and find it hard to let them go - how silly! We are quite frazzled with splitting time between home and DDs new flat, but we are feeling quite festive nonetheless. Wishing you a warm and peaceful end to 2025 and a bright and joyful 2026. Happy Christmas Eve WOYWW!

Merry Christmas Julia. Super card and sentiment yes indeed you have written many a kind and thoughtful word for me much appreciated. So funny that you can't remember WHY you got the storage bags. Have a Great Christmas Hugs Bj#1
That’s a beautiful card and the sentiment sums up Christmas for us too, our year hasn’t been as dramatic as yours ended up but it hasn’t been a great one culminating with Owen being ill and Christmas being postponed. Still I have tried hard to enjoy the good bits and there have been many.
I hadn’t realised about Harry being with you, I hope things are as ok as they can be. Rhys, G and I are having a mini dinner tomorrow, just as well the turkey is frozen!
The flower crochet square is simple, here’s the tutorial:
