This N That

 Back again :)

Denver and Sophie got engaged recently...

Marnie made all the amazing cakes!!

the wedding is in January :)

And last week I met up with my Mennonite friend Stephanie in Deloraine.  She and her family are moving back to the USA (Georgia) after 10 years with the Mennonite church here.  We didn't get to see each other very often, but I will miss knowing she is 'just down the road'...

I gave her my Deloraine Blanket ('colours of nature') that I'd been working on for a while and recently finished...

And I've bought more yarn to make another one for myself...

It will be a link for us both, to Deloraine, and each other :)

Haven't had a lot of time for charity knitting, but got some fingerless gloved finished recently and sent off to a charity in the south of the state...

And packed 2 shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child, for a boy and a girl in the 5-9 age group...

Forgot to take an 'unpacked' photo of all the goodies that went into the boxes before I delivered them to church for collection, but this is what was on the top layer...

there is stationery and toiletries underneath

A couple of new book acquisitions...

I plan on making a few changes to the blog next year.  At the moment I'm not finding enough time to get Weekend Words done each week AND an update blog on my doings, so next year I want to balance it out a bit more, which might mean I don't always get a Weekend Words post done (or it might be a bit shorter, which is what I'm transitioning to over the next couple of months), but hopefully I can update you more on what is happening here.  Anyway, that's the plan, will see how it eventuates :)

And remember...
