Last Saturday some of the ladies from our now closed down Simple Living Toowoomba group met for a catchup as several of them want to keep in touch and what a lovely morning it was chatting, sharing ideas and recipes as well as enjoying the bounty of the swap table.
I don't make New Year resolutions anymore but I do try to choose an appropriate word for the year and this year I have chosen 'Joy'. My word for 2024 was 'Hope' and I certainly did need hope last year as it proved to be a challenging year.
Well, we are at the start of another year and I wonder what 2025 will bring but I guess it is just as well that we don't know otherwise it might seem too daunting. I find that when difficulties arise, as they will, that we are given the grace and fortitude to deal with what comes our way.
Seeing as we are already in December I thought I would remind any readers who are crafty that I did a blog post a while back named Christmas Gift Ideas in case you want to make a couple of quick homemade gifts.
It seems a long time since I got around to writing a blog post but thought I would say hello to those of you who read my blog to let you know I am still alive and kicking. As winter has passed and the warm weather comes and goes, which is typical at this time of year, the view in the garden has changed and the Freesias and the Sweet Peas are going to seed but the Alstroemeria are starting to flower along with the ever beautiful Hollyhocks. Here are a few photos of the beauties....
