We had a very quiet and calm Christmas it was just the kids and us and it was probably the most enjoyable Christmas day we have had in a long time. We are in a major covid spike here in the state, we have been free of the virus for most of the year and pretty much leading a non pandemic life style. The state government decided to open up in December and of course Omicron has hit and testing centres can't cope with it I guess it is only a matter of time before hospital are struggling. I managed to get booster shots booked for my hubby and me, he went yesterday and I go tomorrow. The kids won't be due till next month but that may change in the next few days as the government keeps changing its mind about what they doing with booster eligibility.
Mo is working a quite a bit this week which is a worry but there weren't many shoppers on Boxing Day, I think people are too scared to go out.
I have been working on next years BOM, late last week the delivery of threads arrived. I'm going to have to order more but all 4 threads to blend quite nicely with the fabrics.
Mo and her boyfriend spent Christmas Eve making their annual gingerbread house. I told her to just give it to his family as we don't eat it and just pick off the lollies every year. Unfortunately it fell apart just after she took the picture, I'm pretty sure it is the best one they have done to date.
Below is the teapot she made for him for Christmas. The Art Society where she gets her pottery fired is pretty impressed with what she has been making. She is working on another sculptured piece at the moment, I think it is a reef scene on a plant pot which I'm not sure if I am allowed to see yet. Hopefully next year she will make enough to sell.
Well that's it from me for the week round up. Hopefully you all had a lovely Christmas and we are looking forward to a better 2022 but not really seeing it happening.

Sorry you are back on lock down, no one seems to notice here that there is a new more virulent variant. We are often the only ones in the store that are wearing our masks. Fingers crossed you both got your boosters and didn't have too bad of a reaction to them. The gingerbread house is really cute, too bad it fell apart. Mo's tea pot is awesome, love the turtle on the top. She really is talented.
Have a very happy New Year's. Thank you for hanging out with the 15 minutes to stitch challenge for the last few years. It's been nice to catch up on what you've got going on each week.
