As this year is fading and I take stock of what happened during 2009, I sit in awe of all the blessings that came my way. I have love, I have material possessions in abundance, I have good health, I have Faith. And most important of all, all my loved ones are in my life - no-one was lost.

May you all have an absolutely fabulous 2010 and may all your dreams come true.

This is Victoria ....

Storm, completed.

These are a few little ones completed a while back. They all have Schulte mohair coats, are fully jointed with embroidered noses and all dressed up for Santa.

My daughter, my two grandchildren and my son-in-law are here! And it's wonderful to be a mom and granny again, even if it is for such a short time. On 4 January they go back to Australia but until then I savour every moment with them. Hectic? Yes! Chaos? Yes! Happiness? Overflowing!

All the Xmas decorations are up and the children are delighted. The gifts are wrapped, the sun is shining and all is well here in the deep south.

With all the activities and celebrations, I may not have the time to post again before Christmas, so I would like to wish everyone, near and far a very, very happy and blessed Christmas time.
