However, needs must that we get back to our regular learning week, so this line up will probably straddle this week and next.

Christmas is coming up and so we're starting to look at crafts for all of us to be thinking about making; in my travels I found this tutorial on making a knife; which Jay might be interested in trying his hand at ☺
Currently all he's interested in doing during craft time is painting his (tiny) plastic models ...
Daisy has been look for a pattern to follow to make a knit Maxi skirt and we found one on that same site, Creations, which uses Simplicity pattern #1616.
We found this pin, or this one, but I think it'll be easier for Daisy to have a set pattern to follow for a first clothing sewing attempt.
Before I hit publish .....these crochet dishcloths make good stocking stuffer's for those who cook n clean.
And just a few critter picture to close this post:

We just had our "Nana" (in our case, "Giz") visiting us (Grampy too). Like you, I didn't get on the computer much to enjoy every minute with family. Now that they are gone, I will be able to spend a little more time and get to come back and read this post again. I listened to a sample of that Dickens, Barnaby audio---what a great voice that narrator has! I'm going to have to listen a little more! Thank you SO much for the super cute critter pictures!!!! Awww, and double Awww! I can't decide which picture I like more! I've been missing chatting with you and need to squeeze in a proper note to you soon! Sending you love and a big hug!!
Is Cocoa a black Jersey?
@ Tracy. I've been reading along with your blogposts (via bloglovin') and agreeing..... we need to have a catch up when things settle down abit, here and there :-D
Jay said to tell you he prefers Simon Vance's reading of Barbaby Rudge over Sea Barret's .
(I prefer the one listed in this blog post ;) )
Thanks for the love and a hug!!
Sending the kiwi version your way too, along with prayer.
@ Allie. Cocoa is part (3/4) black Jersey, I can't remember the other 1/4 (perhaps angus?) -
She is a very sweet cow, and so friendly.
We're thinking we may get her with calf, maybe ;-)
Hope your new learning year is going well!!!!
I thought Cocoa had a definite Jersey-look to her. I've seen a black Jersey before (and privately wished one of mine would have thrown a black heifer calf), but not owned one. Angus would definitely help explain just how dark she is. Love the picture of your sweet girl!
