On the 4th of December there were blingy beads and homebaked goodies

This morning the final AQE/Transfer Test/11 plus took place (yeah!) so my daughter can celebrate and relax.

This afternoon I was able to go to my monthly beading club – this month the projects were a bit more bling-y than usual.

As well as the beading and the chat, one of the highlights is always Karen’s baking, and this month she excelled!

There was a shortbread tree

Rudolf Cake Truffles

Mince Pies and Brownies

also a chocolate roulade and some brie/cranberry/filo parcels – all home made and delicious.

We did actually do some beading

Here is a selection of what we made

And here is our lovely tutor, Rachel.

Thanks everyone for your comments so far in my quest for daily blogging in December – it is lovely to see some “old faithful” visitors as well as some new visitors.

Come back tomorrow to see what I’ll be blogging about, as I don’t know yet either!
