This is a first!

This is my very first post written on the i-pad. I'm not terribly clever with new gadgets and was doing the posts on the old computer because I had not realized that I needed to get the Blogger app for the i-pad until Billy told me...

It seems appropriate to inaugurate Blogger on i-pad with a huge thank you and very best wishes to all my What Time friends. 

Happy Christmas!

Exquisite Japanese balls

Queen of Sheeba sent us a link to a collection of photos of these strange but delightful balls. They look like a cross between knitting and embroidery.

They are a collection of about 500 temari balls, a type of Japanese folk art. They are spectacular. The artist is an 88 year old grandmother who began this project when she was in her 60s, which is a good reminder that it's never too late to create! The entire collection is HERE on a flickr account.







Thank you, Queen of Sheeba.

A really cool pen

Billy found this video. I suppose a pen has to be a lot of fun to compete with all the electronic gadgets out there!

Feeling grateful

Your lovely gift arrived yesterday! I ordered it quickly because of the Christmas rush, but Amazon surpassed itself by delivering it in 24 hours...

Here's my baby:



I'm a very lucky girl to have such generous, loving friends. We embarked on a journey together over four years ago and survived some upheavals, had some virtual battles here and there, but the birth of this blog brought calm, peace and friendship to a remarkable group of people.  I've just realized how aptly named this space is. We always have time for each other, not matter what o'clock it is!

Thank you.

The guy likes champagne, but...

This ad is on the telly in the UK at the moment and it cracks me up every time I watch it. I had to share it with you...

Methinks Annette loves Christmas

Pallottine sent us some photos of Annette's Christmassy handywork. The last batch arrived on November 15 and Annette was already starting on the outside!












Merry Christmas, Holidays, Season, etc, etc, to a very busy Annette, Pallottine and all the lovely gang that congregates here!

The great scheme of things

I love this picture. Pay attention to each figure and how they appear in each arrangement.

Fortunately, there's always Kindle!
