I had started this one while I was procrastinating about whether to do the Vintage Rose Pot holder. And then felt well since I had started it and it was in her colours I may as well finish it and decided to do it with two different combos. I didn't finish this one in time though, I wrapped up the other two and gave them to her, and then finished this one later on Christmas day . ( I think she really likes them by the way)
Speaking of Christmas,it was a lovely day, (I forgot to take any photos) if not a bit full on. We did the big turkey/ham/stuffing/salads family thing all 35 of us! I love my big family dearly, but it can be a bit of hard work too , I'm a bit of a black sheep , and the only cousin now not in a relationship. Which can make me feel a little weird at times.
We all contribute something- I made this delicious salad again, but next year I think I'm going to make Xmas cookies, if not just for the excitement of using Mum's fabulous collection of cookie cutters. And also, I'm not a huge fan of mince pies, but love a dessert.
In the morning I went back home ( mum and dads, for presents and "us" time) which is always my favourite part of the day. I got very spoilt as usual!!!!
One of my favourite days of the year is Boxing Day, my dad goes the Cricket and Mum and I just hang out do exactly what we want to do, ready, crochet, talk if we want, but love just being together and not talking. It's a lovely thing to have with someone that.
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and couple of days.

Ooohhh, I love that top one! Funny I had never thought about square pot holders until this morning when Indi got out her pot holder kit and made 2 square ones and now here's yours. Your boxing day sounds perfect.
