Last Week with Miss V 💖....and....Welcoming December....

 Last Friday was our day and sleepover with Miss V...

I already posted this pic of her, but I love it so much...

I can indulge myself....right??? hahaha!!

First task was to put up the Christmas window clings...

Then...we packed up some stuff for our lunch...and...

We left for the cottage drive...and saw a lot of Horses along the way...

It was VERY windy that day...we ventured down to the beach, but didn't stay too long down there!!

 After lunch...and exploring everything inside the cottage...we made our way to the roadside , and cut a few Christmas greens from my evergreens...

Miss V was so excited to find a lot of pinecones...in the FOREST!!! 💚

They are bagged and brought home, to do some sort of Christmas craft...

Not long into the drive home...a certain Miss got the droopy eyelids, and had a lovely nap 💤💤💤

She brought her "Ted" from the cottage...she just loves that Bear!!!

I bought it at a Thrifty shop for her...

 Once we were back home...she got started on a card for her new cousin Nora...

She was going the next day to the hospital to meet her. She had already been once, but were unable to see her, as there was a procedure going on in the neo-natal unit...

Unfortunately...as Nora had been moved to another hospital, the rules are a bit different, and once again she was not able to meet her...she was pretty upset, but says she understood about the rules...💔

 I curled her hair on Saturday...after her bath...she looked fabulous!!!

Always sad to see her go...but we will see her again very soon!!

We visited with wee Nora on Wednesday...

I even got to hold her 💗

And change her diaper!!

She is holding her own...just not gaining any weight yet...baby steps...

Her Mom is back in the hospital...suffering from Preeclampsia...

The only upside is that she is close to Nora...

Wishing a speedy recovery for Anna and a quick release for both...get home and get on with the love...

Check out all that blonde hair on Nora...what a doll...soooo tiny!💕 

Well...that is it for me...

We are off to the cottage...one last sleepover...and a fire!!!

I scribbled this on the beach last weekend...cheating...I know!! 

                                     🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

I want to thank you all for your lovely... kind... caring remarks about our little Nora... 

Blogging is such a rewarding experience for me...

I have found so many dear people...thanks again...💗

                                      🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

I think boyfriend may shut the water off on Saturday...it will be one last thing on our minds...time for the old girl to take a rest....( the cottage...not me!)

Hope you are all well....no frost or snow here yet...it was 16C on Tuesday!!

         Have a great weekend...

                 See you soon...

                       Cheers!  :o)

Perfectly Petite Pinecones....

 Last week at the cottage...

While working behind the shed...

I discovered a cache of fresh tiny pinecones...

My neighbour has an evergreen tree there...

And I guess with all that windy weather...

They blew down...

Behind my shed! 

So...

I gathered up a few...

And then...

had some fun with Pic Monkey...

I have lots of ideas on how to utilize these...

The possibilities are endless...

In a bowl, with some festive glass balls...

With some silverey snowflakes....

With a touch of glitter added...{oh...I like this idea....I have some spray adhesive....hmmm}


 How about arranged around a candle?....

Have you got any brilliant ideas for thee pinecones????

They are actually quite teensy....

But...they have puffed out quite a bit....

Since they have been drying out here at home....
 

This is how I found them...behind the shed...aren't they too cute?

Hope you all had a great day...

I had QUITE a day!!!

We went out to the cottage...and shut her down for another year..:o(

It was so darn cold...with the wind off the Lake....40*f inside!!!

BRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

I took some pics...haven't looked at them yet...

But...I will share the whole story tomorrow!

                                    *******
