Birthday soon

Here we are in a New Year 2024 and of course Princess Leen's birthday in January she will be 9 years can you believe time as flown.  She requested this cardigan pattern again but in purple so I found some twinkle wool in purple. Its been my Christmas knit and finally finished this week with the addition of some glitzy buttons from Uxbridge. Now the need to try a parcel to Belgium. I am hoping I can go to visit in March as it is my 70th birthday and Princess Celine will be 7 years. I have missed going and lost a year of visits so a lot to catch up on. But I would like to try and get this cardigan to arrive for January birthday of Leen. 

Lets hope all the present chaos and turmoil in the world eases and we get some peace in this new year. But is really feels a challenge at the moment.. so prayers for a Happy New Year to all.
