It is starting

This is number one - and many will follow

hopefully.

We love pumpkin soup - this one ist called Hokkaido

it was really a surprise - 

they grew like mad out of a few tiny seedlings -----

when we were absent.

I  cared for more place for my other plants meanwhile.

A Merry Christmas to you

To all my readers Happy and Merry Christmas and 

a good and inspired New Year.

It is our South American crib which we bought over 40 years ago

in Ayacucho (Peru)

I will show you two new angels on our tree:

made by patchwork friend Waltraud and ...

the white angel created by patchwork friend Angelika

Outside it is looking like snow, but it isn't. No white Christmas

again this year as so many years before.

No sewing but knitting these days - it will be a vest without sleeves

and I will treat the family with a hotchpotch tomorrow - Christmas Eve

There are many other ingredients like onion, carrots, beans, leek, chickpeas.

They have a long drive, hopefully no traffic jam - everybody is driving

to their parents.

We had so many hokkaidos. I brought parts of them to my neighbour

I like the design of this slice:

There is still stuff for many soups.
