About Me

My photo
Alicante, Spain
Hi. I live in Spain with my partner. I am retired and LOVE it. I love life here but I do miss my family back in the UK, two sons and three sisters and my Mum. Crafting is my life, I do something every single day. In the past it has helped me get through some bad times in my life. One such bad time was when my first grandson died aged just 14 months. He had been born 8 weeks prem but was very healthy and was growing into a beautiful, bonny boy. It was such a shock when the call came. A day never passes when I dont think of him. I am now Nanna again to grand daughter, Hollie, born July 2012, and Tess born March 2016. This is my younger son and his partner. I now have another Grandson, Noah, born Nov 2013 to my elder Son and they have 3 daughters Aurora, born March 2015 and Arabella, born August 2017 and Arianna born 2019. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my makes. Please leave a comment so that I know you have visited me. I love reading them all. xxxx

Inspired by a Song for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is 
Inspired by a Song chosen by Helene.

I chose 

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
How lovely are thy branches

The branches on my Christmas  tree are pieces of ribbon.

I made this Christmas tree ornament from a Polystyrene  shape, about 6" tall.
I really enjoyed making this and it would make a nice centre piece for the table.
Not that we have a Christmas dinner!!!!!!
We have not had a traditional  Christmas dinner since the first year we moved here, 8 years ago, we went to our local Indian last yer and we re doing the same again, I think.
They dont do  special menu so just the same price as usual, not getting ripped off just because it is Christmas day!!!!


We have a lovely prize this week, a Christmas crafting kit.

Very clever use of the ribbon Wendy and some nice ribbon used too. You could always take it with you to the Indian restaurant, mind you they may want to keep it.

A great project
I’m not sure about your Christmas dinner choice as a traditional Christmas dinner with all the trimmings is my favourite meal!
But I do enjoy a good curry too
