Here are the first attempts, I have kept it simple while learning not to stab myself

new toy

Well, I'm back from my holiday and have taken time off from the panic about not having prepared for Christmas before I went away to play with my new toy. I have had this splendid piece of equipment for some weeks but it was a visit to a shop in Utrecht which had gorgeous colours in wool fibres which concentrated my mind. The only thing I can't resist is temptation and there was room in my case wasn't there?

Abi and Izzie

Nicholas

Izzies cousin Heike(spelling?) is a six months old little charmer who was loving the whole evening.

Not only did we have the excitement of Sintaklaas but while I was there, Number One grandson Nicholas and Florine got the keys to their new house so the extended family were able to join in the celebrations as we discussed just where everything is to go and enjoyed the view over the lake from the upper floors and the amazing fold -back windows in the living room.

The excitement of a 'puter' was eclipsed by the fantastic auto uncle Melle had made for her.

after Sintaklaas

well I'm back, after a full and exciting visit to family in Holland.

Izzie has chicken pox but isnt letting that get in the way of enjoying the festivities. Her little cousin Heike(I think I have spelled that wrong) is a six month old charmer who smiled his way through the whole evening.

His daddy, Melle made the splendid auto which Izzie couldn't wait to take to the shops next day.
