Wednesday Greetings dear friends & readers
(or is it Tuesday still I have to ask myself ??!!)
Quite sometime ago, through the wonderful blogging community, I came across a lovely blog about a little woolly lamb named Baa & his amazing adventures.
Through this blog The Mother & I corresponded off & on for a couple of years .... until last week she mentioned they would like to do a roadtrip & come to visit me here at Threadbear Cottage
How Very exciting !!!
They arrived last Saturday .... The Mother (Karen), Miss H (Hannah) & of course - Baa
I put on morning tea for all of us . . . goodness me, we chatted & chatted & chatted . . . & suddenly, 3 hours had gone by in the blink of an eye !!
Baa was very patient while we chatted endlessly . . . & then Hannah took some photos of him around my garden & cottage

They very kindly & generously came bearing gifts . . .
. . . wonderful Op shop treasures . . .
. . . & handmade gifts as well . . .

| The cutest EVER christmas tree decorations !! |
The Mr has been milking lately so I get up early when he goes & try to work through the never ending list of jobs still to be done.
Yesterday morning I made another batch of soy candles in my kitchen as the sun came up ...
I ended up re-melting them down & starting again. These are going as gifts for family members.
Thankfully my baking has been a little more successful . . .
As the sewing machine is not getting such a work-out lately, the two 4-legged members of the household have taken up residence on my work table. I am not too certain that Miss Pippi's position was comfy but she did stay there all night long !!
This will be my last post before Christmas, probably for the Year.
I would like to wish you all a wonderful happy & safe Festive Season & may the coming year be good & kind to all of us.

With much love & friendship to you ALL
Julie, Blackie & Miss Pippi

I thought their blog was rather cute and had some nice things to say about their visit with you, perhaps you will all go on to be firm friends, just how we became after meeting through our blogs, something I treasure! Glad to see the cats are taking up sewing.........or was that just sleeping in IN the sewing department? Yummy looking treats you have made. Merry Christmas Hugs my friend .....xxxx
ReplyDeleteWe had such a great time! Those treats looks so yummy especially the cute Christmas trees. Love the way you iced them. Hmmm.... Miss Pippi is definitely squeezing in there, sort of my butt in your face style! Ha...ha... Have a fantastic Christmas. Baa. xxx, Miss H and the Mother.

Wishing you and the Mr and the rest of your family including the fur children have a lovely Christmas. Will visit you in the new year for sure, you know we can chat for at least three hours!!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to swing by your lovely cottage for a visit. I can well imagine time flew by. Baa is rather adorable isn't he. You have been busy.....again. Your baking looks rather delish.

Hello dear Julie, goodness, look at that- Christmas Eve again already! Everything is looking super inspirational & fabulous over here, as usual. What a lovely visit you all had the other afternoon. That red hot chilli colour really is fabulous isn't it & just perfect for this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteSo enjoyed lighting my lovely scented candle when I had a bath the other night- the scent was just right for me.
Have a wonderful Christmas & lots of fun with that wee Alec.
Much love & cheery Christmas waving from over here, Catherine x0x0x
lovely to read about your connection with other bloggers and their visit. that's the best bit about blogging I think - the friendships it can develop. Wishing you a very happy Christmas (from sunny Mexico!) Betty x
