Happy Christmas! (belated)

It is the fourth day since I stopped work and finally I feel like I could manage Christmas, but it has been and gone for another year:-)
 Some Christmas cheer, a modern arrangement of mint, which is flourishing with all the rain we have had.
Last weekend before work finished I did bake Gran's biscuits (as we call them in my family, my great grandmother's recipe, a version of German, later known as Belgium biscuits), to give as gifts to my colleagues. Alas they are still waiting for the raspberry jam and brandy butter icing.
 Peace and joy from the "wise man" of the house!
I made the "ten minute table runner" on Christmas day, which this photo indicates needs another press after it's outing with the "wise man."

A little sewing at last

Finally some sewing, three aprons completed.
