December 2018
December is here, and Christmas will be here before you know it. I can't quite believe it! The days seem to go by faster and faster. The rains are here again, but it doesn't bother me at all. It gives me a chance to slow down, put a cup of tea on, and knit and stitch inside. I'm not ready for Christmas, are you? Here are a few last minute ideas for your Christmas gift giving.
