Lockdowns, birthdays and Christmas is a coming

 Hello everyone!

How is life treating you at the moment? If you are in England then its lockdown time again. Although it does feel different this time. Probably because its not a full lockdown like the first one. 

I've stopped working again which is annoying bearing in mind how much effort, time and money my industry has gone to, to make everything as safe as possible. Hopefully will be back on the 3rd. Please keep your fingers crossed for me. 

It does mean that I have had time to do my tax returns... two months earlier than i normally do which is a big achievement for me.

This month has also given me time to crochet. I have made this scarf for my aunt who will be 80 in January.



A dragonfly scarf in apple green. Hopefully she will like it. One of my best friends was 50 a couple of days ago and another will be 60 this week. So many big birthdays. 

I have also started my Queen blanket by Tinna. This is an amazing pattern and i have decided to do the more complicated of the three patterns, The Adventurous Queen. I'm blending purples greens and blues with white as the main pattern colour. 

Anyway, this month has also allowed me time to write all my christmas cards, wrap all the presents and I will hopefully get the tree up on the 1st December ... just before I start back to work. That's if BoJo lets me back to work and if he lets us have christmas. Although i think he has realised that we will all break the rules and have christmas anyway. I think it is up to us to be as safe as possible for our families. 

Anyway, we only have a month to get through and it will be here. I think we all need something to smile about. I know a lot of people have had a tough year. Tougher than most people. Whether it has been losing someone or financially tough. I am thankful that i have been luckier than most. But it has still been a year i won't forget. 
So i am thankful to have my own little business, for my clients to think enough of me to keep coming back, for thing 1 to be doing well and enjoying his teacher training and for thing 2 to be doing well at his marketing placement. 
So for anyone who is American with thanksgiving this week. Thats what i have to be thankful for as well as the health of my family and friends. 

So happy thanks giving and chat to you all soon
