As the sun sets on this eve of New Year's Eve 2020 it would be an understatement to say that I, alongwith a great many others no doubt, will be so glad to see the back of the old year while pondering on what the new year will bring. Personally, I'm not going to ponder too much because as the old saying goes, 'the best laid plans' and all that.
I made a little mouse for my great-niece after I saw a similar one on Pinterest. I think she turned out quite smart.
I got lots of lovely things too and am currently delving into this favourite.

At least we had time to bake our Christmas Cookies.
My neighbours put on a splendid show this year again. The street's going to look quite bleak without the light show. More neighbours than ever this year put on a dazzling display, the by-product of having lived in the midst of a pandemic for the better part of a year, no doubt.

In the meantime, I've been binge-watching the most excellent Virgin River on Netflix. Not because it's a load of cheesy, cliched, romantic nonsense with the most handsomest of main characters, ok maybe it is but I'm thoroughly enjoying it!!

Happy New Year when it rolls around, to You All.

Happy New Year to you too dear Anne. Yes we did indeed have high hopes for 2020 & look what that bought us all. I am sorry to be reading in my news over here of the Tiers you are once again in. We are lucky here & I tell myself that every single day but there are careless ones out there too & it will rear its ugly head again. (the virus that is). Your grandies are beautiful & I adore the wee pink mousie you made. I hope you have a lovely New Year my friend - that book looks a goodie. xxxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie. We won't win this battle against the virus until we stop all movement of people and adhere to strict lockdown measures, like you did in your country. Happy New Year.xxx
DeleteHappy New Year - let's hope it's full of good stuff and that we kill this virus off for good.
ReplyDeleteHear,hear Betty.xxx
DeleteI am happy to read this post Anne and hope you are improving every day....we certainly got to appreciate what is important in
ReplyDeleteLife this year didn't we? Happy and Healthy 2021 to you and yours xx
Good to see you again, libs. Have you taken your blog down? Sending good thoughts.
DeleteAnd you Libby. Small steps everyday.xxx
DeleteHappy New Year! Adorable mouse (you are so clever, did you make that up just from seeing it!!!) And adorable grandson. We are all hoping that this virus will be knocked on the head in 2021. The highlight of my last few weeks has been buying a new hoover!
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you and to all friends here.
Happy New Year Sens and thanks for popping in. I think I tracked down a similar pattern on Ravelry and adapted it. Hope your new vacuum is behaving! Get any good books for Xmas?xxx
DeleteHappy New Year my dear friend, I have un-Chrstmased myself and am so happy to start the new year off fresh and clean. So glad you were able to spend time with your family. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year again, Mer. Stay safe and well too.xxx
DeleteYour decorations are lovely! That little mouse is so cute! Is there a pattern? I think I need one. Your grandchildren are so precious. I haven't seen mine in 2 years and I don't have any of that video chat stuff. I think I need to get that. I do talk to them daily on the phone and they email me and send me photos and videos. I have to put Barack's new book on my "to be read" list for 2021. I've read all including Michelle's...that was excellent. I have always wanted to learn to platy the piano. Maybe I could get one of those and learn online? Stay safe and stay well! Happy New Year!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'll look up my Ravelry project page and see how I made it!Any connection to our grands is better than nothing. I'm lucky that one set of mine live just 10 mins away but the baby lives in another county which I'm not allowed to visit at the moment under current restrictions. His Mummy sends me loads of pics though and when my son What's App video chats with me, the baby tries to grab the phone as if he could pull me out of from the screen!! My eldest granddaughter is taking lessons on the keyboard at school and was delighted to receive her own keyboard for xmas. She was learning the trombone but (thankfully!) gave it up!
DeleteP.S. I may have to subscribe to Netflix just to watch that movie! It looks good!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I'm on my second time around! Got to wait a whole year for next season!I'm suffering from Virgin River drought!
DeleteHappy New Year to you!!!
ReplyDeleteThat mouse is adorable.
I wouldn't mind Barrack Obama for Xmas, I bet the book's a cracking read, he's such a classy, witty and intelligent man.
I'm so glad you were able to see your gorgeous grandchildren.
I'm counting the hours till 9pm - SPIRAL! xxx
Yes, there's deffo a lack of classy,witty and intelligent men in this house!!That's why I'm bingeing on Virgin River!! Spiral was great.Trying not to watch future episodes on IPlayer!
DeleteI pray you have a hopeful January, dear Annie!
ReplyDeleteAnd you my dear friend. xxx
