I wonder if i've been changed in the night?

 

let me think !

was i the same when i got up this morning?

 

i almost think i can remember feeling a little different

 

but if I'm not the same !

 

the next question is.....

 

'who in the world am i' ?

 

'Alice in wonderland'

....I love Friday....

.....Hot.....Hot.....Hot......

....No no, not England.......here......

.....we have just had a most wonderful week, laying in the hot sun, sipping cool drinks, reading and sunbathing in beautiful Santorini......

 

 

....this was a very much needed holiday for us, just the two of us, not doing anything much at all, we went to Santorini six years ago and fell in love with the place then, and new that we both wanted to go back, it really is the most beautiful island, well actually its a volcano.....

 

....this is the bit in the middle that has been active in the past, so its very black this part, you can get a yacht over to take a closer look, the little island behind it has hot springs that you can swim in....

 

....the sunsets in Santorini are breath taking and everybody gathers in the evening to watch it happen and take lots of photos.....though a photo just cant replicate seeing the real thing....

 

 

 

....i took loads of photos....

 

.....This was a really beautiful taverna called Vanilla and we ate there on our last evening...

 

 

 

 

....this is were we stayed, its called 'Meli Meli' and it has to be one of the best places that we have ever stayed at abroad, there was only six small apartments for couples, and a pool, our room was cleaned every day with fresh bedding and clean towels, and also fresh flowers put on our table.....the lovely maid Agnus bought us breakfast each morning at whatever time we wanted it, a definite must for two people who want peace and quiet and solitude.....

 

.....and on our last day when we returned about four in the afternoon, look what we found.....

 

 

....rose petals, all over our bed........oh how romantic......

 

 

 

 

 

.....if you are looking for a quiet romantic break away from it all for two...then Santorini is definitely the place to go......i could show you hundreds of pictures but i think from these you get the drift.....

 

 

 

.....see you soon my friends, with some new makes....

hugs to you all Pixie ....

.....I am on a mission.....

.....I am on a mission this year to make all my (whisper very quietly), 'Christmas presents'.....

 

....now i know your probably thinking 'oh good grief, what is this woman thinking, we haven't even had summer yet'....yes i know this, but i say it to myself each year that passes that i will make all my presents, and then before Ive even put my sun tan lotion away its November again and I've run out of time.......again........but not this year, oh  no.......i started back in April, so this way i can take it nice and slow and not feel pressured to get it all made quickly........(we'll see!)

 

 

......So back in April my first gifty made was a........

 

 

 

 

 

 

......Socky sock monkey.....

....Oh i do love a socky monkey.....and this one has particularly long long legs....

 

 

 

.....good for tieing in knots....

 

....he has patches sewn on, and......

 

 

 

....odd buttons for eyes....

 

 

 

.....i have to say, he was great fun to make, i new those knee high chunky socks would come in useful for something...

 

 

......if you fancy making a socky sock monkey, there is a free template on line, just type in 'sock monkey pattern' into your search engine and there it is.....

 

 

.....Christmas gifty number one done...

 

 

 

.....see you soon...
