I have been a virtual blogging recluse.
I haven't even blog thanked (I have definitely email thanked)
my lovely Secret Santa Ulla for my beautiful gifts...
I was very lucky to have her as my Secret Santa for sure-thanks again Ulla:)
I haven't shown my Secret Santa gifts I made for Paula..
Or even really blog welcomed the New Year..
But I have decided to get over it and just get on with it!
Holidays have been wonderful-busy socially but just wonderful.
I do so like the slower pace.
I have been crocheting in the air conditioning-something that I can do automatically without much thought..
It is good therapy to just go round and round and add another colour.
The walks have been happening and the swims..
And I seem to have been fiddling more with my iphone camera than my usual one..
I have had lots of lovely Lilies flowering..
And now I've been inspired by Ms Ric Rac extraordinaire to finally start a rag rug.
I bought a big fat crochet hook last year and now I've been busy tearing up sheets
and working out what to do.


Welcome back to blogging! It's good to have a break from it for a while though isn't it. I love how easy the iphone camera is, my poor professional slr hardly gets a look in these days :)
As always, love your photos, gorgeous crafts and I love the idea of that rug!

Lovely to see you on line again Daisy. I'm not yet convinced re: the rag rug, but Jodie is going great guns. I'm busy making my new handbag
