December 22nd

Hello again! I showed you Barney's tree yesterday, today it is time to see mine. I used some of my old decorations, and also added some new ones, like those hearts I made in Anabel's class last weekend.


Earlier today, when I was starting the decorating, Bernard visited me. He delivered some pretty Christmas cards, and also a Christmas present he had made himself! He said he usually would have given his gift on 24th, but he knew I was decorating the tree today... He is the sweetest pig!


He had painted me some lovely baubles, and up to my tree they went!


I think my tree is so very beautiful!


And as I live in Rosy Cottage, there is a rose on top of my tree instead of star!


I am going to do some last minute crafting today too, and... oh, what did you say? You noticed my new, beautiful necklace? It came from my old friend Peggy the Pig, remember the quilt I showed you the other day? When we opened that parcel, I took the necklace, and put it in my pocket, as I wanted to study it on my own later, when all my friends had gone to their homes. It is just similar flower of friendship we used to have as child, me and Peggy, I love it so! Thank you, dear friend!


And that crafting? My dear sister Amelie got a baby girl two days ago, oh yes, Bibi got a baby sister! They are coming here for Christmas, and what does a precious little baby girl need? A tiny stocking, of course! So I am off to do some sewing now, I got my pink beads and all ready!


See you soon again!

Your tree is perfect Anna and topped off with a rose...so unique.Bernard made you some sweet baubles, what a kind piggy he is (like all piggies). Your necklace looks very pretty. Thank Mia for popping over to see my Christmas crackers - it's very nearly our special day of the year ;0) xx

Mia said...

Hello Jane,

Thank you, I love my tree too, with a rose on top it's very me :)
Bernard is the most kind pig, he remembers all birthdays and other special dates and makes me smile ever so often, I wish he'll like my gift too.

Mia sends you the warmest wishes, she loved those crackers, and she also says that she can hardly wait the 24th :)

Lovely days to you!

This time of the year...

Usually around this time, when children go back to school, and you can just about to smell the autumn, I start to dig deeper in my fabric...
