Sending Loving Wishes and Thoughts to you all this Christmas Season.
I have been making two special projects (instead of cards - one for my dear GP and one for a friend who has saved all my cards since the year dot) and here they are (ok there are three - one is for Chas as I didn't get time to make him a special card - as yet.)
Here is my desk, as left, no time to tidy it up or do anything due to my having my procedure in hospital yesterday. It went well but I am in quite a bit of pain. They weren't for letting me out due to the pain but how does one measure pain? What one person finds as intolerable may be moderate to another. Go figure. I convinced them it was not as bad as I had first intimated and to be honest it was better once I got home with my hottie and fizzy drinks.
and the tidy bit
see, some things have been put away
I think I tidied most things like the poinsettia dies and stamps. Shame I did not get around to making boxes for the lanterns but time just went and I have sent them out in "Lancashire Yoghurt Tubs" which are like buckets and even they would not take the lid.
Not got around to photographing the tree yet. If I am ok and get time later, or in the morning, I will do it before this post goes out, otherwise it will be next week.
Have a lovely Christmas and my thoughts are with those of you who are feeling a little sad this Christmas for one reason or another (I went to see my cousin who lost his wife a few weeks ago and it broke my heart to see how lonely he was despite having his daughter and grand-daughter and their families around him over Christmas. Guess you can't live with someone for 66 years and not feel so very bereft).
Take care and hop over to Julia's without whom we would not be doing this - when you read this and join in the fun of WOYWW.
Made it!
Made it!

I'm doing my rounds of the blogs before I start baking my mince pies and decorating the Christmas cake. Really hope your pain subsides very quickly and you start to feel much better.
I just want to say thank you for another year of fun and friendship and to wish you a very happy Christmas and here's hoping 2017 comes with good health so we can all enjoy lots of crafty fun together.
Hugs,

Oh dear Neet thank Chas for the lovely photos at the end, great tree (and swags etc) glad to hear your procedure has been done, sad about pain and pray it relieves it more and more as time passes, please LORD.
Yes feel for those who've lost someone dear at such a time as this, no matter who it is, or how long you knew them, it always makes you sad to see it.
thanks for sharing dear friend sending hugs and prayer you way,

Hi Neet, and I hope the pain is subsiding by now. Everything starts to feel better when you get home, I agree. Love your curtain swags, clever you! Those lanterns are gorgeous- I still need to make Beloved Hubbys card! Maybe I'd better shove the stamp storage to one side and get on with it, lol. Sending wishes for a very Happy & Peaceful Christmas from us both, Many hugs, Shaz #7 xx
Hi Neet. Those little lanterns are simply stunning! Glorious in subtle colours! Well done you. As for your tree - well, what can we say, Chas - good work! I trust your cousin will be able to celebrate the birth of Jesus, and enjoy his happy memories of all those years!
Have a lovely Christmas, the pair of you, and I trust you recover well from that procedure.
Take care. God bless.

Your swags are gorgeous, dear gal - I'm very impressed as I've never made a pair of curtains in my life!! I suspect that will have to change when we get to the new place :-D
It's good to see you posting, I wasn't sure you'd be here after having your op yesterday. I'm really hoping that the pain is starting to subside now, actually being at home and pottering is so much better than doing nothing in a hospital bed.
Thank you for all you wonderful support this year, I really value our friendship and am determined that we are going to meet up this year somehow!!!
Happy Christmas to you and yours,
LLJ 15 xxxx
Beautiful tree and lanterns! The lanterns look very intricate, I'm sure they will be treasured! Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas! Lindart #28
Gorgeous tree Neet, the bursts of red against green is a pure visual delight. Your cards, as always, are spectacular. You know how to go for the "Wow" factor. Hope you are well enough by the time Xmas comes around and that you enjoy the festivities. Thank you for the card which has arrived today :) Sending hugs to you both. P xxxxxxx
Very pretty tree. I like your project - very different. You have been busy!
Happy Christmas
