Yes, it's 'Twelfth Night' and apart from it being my very favourite play, it's also the day you take down your Christmas decorations if you're as superstitious as me. Can't risk any bad luck this year!
This was the view from my bedroom window this morning. Pretty bleak - but still pretty?
I am going to try to note three things every day that have made me happy. Today's are (1) that I decided to scrape my frozen car and brave the icy roads - scary but satisfying. Then (2) I took down the decorations and have the house looking back to normal. Sometimes I think that Twelfth Night is a better time to start New Year's Resolutions than New Year's Day. It's like a new start in a way?
... and these are two of my favourite decorations. Two glass Christmas trees bought at the Corning Glass factory in 1988 on our first visit to America. They hold lovely memories ...
(3) is that when I go to bed I have lovely clean sheets. I've had a busy day ...
... and I've also been doing some sewing. This is going to be a box to raffle to raise money for the Mission Aviation Fund in February.
Oh, and keeping to the 'Twelfth Night' theme, those NYRs have to include "there shall be no more cakes and ale". Oh, dear ...

I LOVE THAT BOX! oooo so pretty. I've always wanted to make a box-it's on my list. And NO CAKES OR ALE?! just shoot me now. I would last...oh, maybe an hour. Well, I'm more of a cakes and wine kind of gal, but still...take my cake and there will be bloodshed. :O)
Who needs ale when there's wine?
That tree is so 'you' and the little glass decorations are exquisite.

When the seasons change they bring a new feeling of life with them,and spring is full of colours and bright sunshine which is a very creative period for all works of art.
