OT Great excitement from Shirley

Shirley, That's fabulous!!! Congratulations! Your bracelet is beautiful and I can't wait to see the gold and amethyst one. As a fellow Capricorn, I salute you!!

Patti

Thank you Patti, I need to give the gold and amethyst a bit more thought to make it look more striking. It is halfway done. I have also got another idea up my sleeve which will be revealed at a later date.

When is your birthday?. Shirley

Breathtaking. Absolutely beautiful, every doggone page, honey. I want so badly to come sit in your garden I can taste it! With bees buzzing......tame birds chirping......

Your work is GORGEOUS, Kevin nearly jumped out of his chair (a !!MIRACLE!!) when he saw your knitted-wire bracelet. I fainted dead away!!!!!!!!! And I loved how much your studio resembles mine. It's sort of universal, isn't it? Boxes and drawers FILLED with stuff, and surfaces clear if you get lucky or work very hard at keeping them neat......

LOVELY homepage, too. I'm go> After putting up pictures of my bracelet and quilt I have had 7,724

Thank you for your beautiful sentiments, Dolling. I am afraid you would not like the garden at the moment. It is raining heavy and winter has clothed it . The leaves have fallen and flowers died back, it look rather bare. Come spring it will all come to life again with a different aspect. It is full with self set seeds. I furtively throw on a few poppy seeds. They grow much to DH's dismay. I have put them were he set the Sweet William's and they will poke through when the SW dies away. So next year will have different view maybe be better or maybe not so good.

I have a new Robin lurking around but he/she is very timid. Like the special fat slices that I have got and I have moved the feeder nearer the kitchen window so it can get used to seeing us. Since it is too cold to sit in the garden I will have to wait until next spring to do my taming bit, if it is still around. We have too many marauding cats around, a black one nearly got the robin the other day. That is why I moved the feeder so it is out of the way of cats.

You are right about it being hard work keeping work surface clear. Now all the Christmas cards are dealt with I shall have to put Christmassy items away until next year. Also have a general tidy up. Hugs Shirley
