a big thank you

Time and again it happens :

a pleasant surprise is coming through the mailbox.

This time I got some advance notice

but I had completely forgotten about it

.....

In the envelope was a brown paper bag

and inside that :

the promised "scraps"

Well ..... yeah

"scraps"

but placed on the floor the patch grew bigger and bigger

multicoloured beauties on end

(if I had laid them out without overlap it would have been a square metre !)

Even some lovely glittering thread !

Thank you SUS !!!!

(a warm coloured gift, from a warm friend, living in a cold country)

All that gave me spirit enough to draw

a comfort mandala
for a very sad family

(of which I'll only show a small piece)

.....

Even Man has started with his mandalas again

 But he has other talents too,

like the homemade sausage rolls

for granddaughter's postponed birthday party last Saturday

Mmmmmmmmmm

they were goooood, not a single one left
