Christmas Day


A few bits and pieces, the day has not ended yet, and we will be having duck for dinner tonight, we had prawns and salad and oysters kilpatrick for lunch, with lovely bubbles.
A walk this morning over to lovely Pennington Bay where the water is the most unbelievable blue. My knee coped well with the steps and soft sand I am happy to report.
We awoke to humid weather and some rain early, the mainland, last photo, was very misty and odd looking from the front door.
I made the little fabric house yesterday, I think this is a prototype as I didnt realise it would be so big or so squashy, need to re think the lining, and I really was only playing to see how it would turn out. Just used the very basic stitches on my little pfaff hobby machine too.
So far a lovely day, the duck will be eaten late as we dont need much more food for ages!

Happy Christmas Penny! Our weekend has been cool and drizzly.... which is so much better than sizzling as we usually do most Christmases. Lovely little/big house you made! Happy to hear your knee is behaving.
