Flikr and Christmas Crochet 🎄

Well this week I decided I’m not going to have a Pro Flikr account …just a standard one , and my blog , 

So I’ve been rescuing a lot of my old photographs before they vanish 

I had this beautiful old girl arrive 

She is stunning ..a couple of cracks which I can fix ..and she needs a new face up and lots of love ..She’s a Mary Lee , with her original wig …I keep calling her Betty ..so Betty she is 

Can’t wait to restore her x

I’ve finished my Pigs in blankets ..which keep making me laugh ..one for each of my grandkids and one for my Sis 

Just a couple of gifts to do ..and I really think I will get my blanket 

Finished …it’s beautiful
