            See you all in the new year....

A Whole Month Has Passed...TIme To Catch Up!!

Hello everyone!!!

Hope you are all well...and feeling the spirit of the season! 

I will start way back in late November...seems like ages ago!!

The cottage had snow...it looked quite beautiful...

At home, we have only had a light dusting a few times...nothing much...

Hope we get some for Christmas!!

We were fortunate enough to attend one of Miss V's skating lessons...

Her Papa helped her with her skates...

He was an avid hockey player...goalie...

Then he coached here in Mississauga for many years... 

We had kept a few of her Uncle Ryan's hockey sweaters, and her Mom asked if she could wear it to her lessons...

Doesn't she look like a pro??? 

She wants to play hockey after she masters the skating...♥️

After the skating that evening, she came home with Papa and I...the following day was a PD day at school...so we were having a
              ** SLEEPOVER **


But... first... a fire...some tv...and a snuggle with a few of her stuffies!!

The next morning...we got to work decorating and baking... 

Love the Dinosaur PJ's...

We made peanut butter cookies...

And boy oh boy....were they ever GOOD!

I taught her how to make them look so professional!!

Loaded a tin for her to take home...


After all of that 
was done...










She was off to the store with her Papa...

Sporting the new ear warmer I made her!!






                             A few days later......





                          

                 

                 🎈🎈  Was Miss N's First Birthday Bash!!🎈🎈

I just love that Birthday Hat that her auntie Lissa gave her...



She was hesitant about the cake... 

At first...

Then she got busy...and messy!!

             ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Just a few shots from around the house...

We had a lovely dinner and night out at our friends from high school...

I made their Granddaughter and Grandson a wee gift each...

Below are fingerless gloves...

I think I made 6 pairs this year!!

All wrapped and under the tree...

Our next cottage visit was like this!!!

No snow...and all the fall leaves still on the ground...

Gonna be a very busy Spring getting them all raked up!!

There was no wind...and the lake was so calm and serene...

L O V E when it is like this!!

Found a few trinkets on the beach that day...

LOVE the lure!!

Thanks to everyone who still visits me...

Blogging seems to have slowed down for everyone.... 

I still love to keep in touch with you all...

We've been together a long time!!💚💚💚

      Cheers! to a wonderful Christmas...

          And a healthy happy 2019!!

Halfway Thru November....Already!! How About Some Fall Colours!!

I can hardly believe how fast time is flying by!!!

Seems like we went from a very hot humid Summer...right into Winter!!

October and November have been chilly...wet and dark...

Had our first real Snowfall last Thursday...and has been very cold ever since!

Let's enjoy some of the Fall colour that I have captured at the cottage...and our drives to and from...

The sweet Bird pics are here at home... 

I finally got a few Succulent planters done...

I used one big pot, that was quite overgrown, and made a few smaller ones!!

I gave my 3 kids each one...of the smaller ones...fingers crossed they grow!

My friend Jane,(Blondies Journal) has been asking for inside pics of the cottage...

This is the biggest room...where we eat...in the inclimate weather...and have our fires...there is another small room with our TV...

The chairs are vintage...thrifty buys...mixed with a new Ikea couch...and lots of tables that the original owners left...all from the 30's and 40's...

A very eclectic mix of furniture! hahaha!!!  But very cosy!!

There are 3 bedrooms upstairs...and a very tight kitchen and bath on the main floor!!!

I will search for pics of these rooms, for a later date!!

 

Hope you are all well...

So sad about the wildfires in California...😢

Cottage is closed for the Winter...

Dreaming of next Spring already!!

Any Christmas decorating??

I'll be back with more pics very soon...

Cheers!  :o)
