I've had a busy week with a quick trip to the big smoke to visit family and do same Christmas shopping... One thing I always enjoy about driving down to Perth this time of year is seeing all the Western Australian Native Christmas Trees in bloom...
I got home on Wednesday for our Patch Christmas dinner. I was to busy chatting to get any photos of the table etc. We don't exchange gifts but each member donates non perishable foods to make hampers for folk in our town for Christmas... but we did receive a small goodie bag to take home''
after re- reading the instructions properly realised I had to cut them 3" X 7 1/2" ..
Now I either have cut more or do some fudging....
Happy Christmas Maria XX
Ooopppppsssss Hope you work it out...
ReplyDeleteDelicious looking goody bag and lovely flip flop ornaments. Neat! Good luck with that cutting and stitching. I have to be so careful with measurements. I'm a bit hopeless at quilt math. What a gorgeous flower on that tree!!
ReplyDeleteNeat looking trees--and that bag of 'goodies' sure looks--yummy!!!
ReplyDeletesorry the bloc didn't come out to size--that can be very madding !!!
what cute flip flaps--
luv, and hugs, di
Ooopsy! These things come along to test us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to donate goods instead of giving to each other. Will suggest that to my group next year. Ouch feel your pain about the cutting.
ReplyDeletewow those trees look magnificent... lovely for your drive. a lovely idea instead of gifts. How annoying for you cutting the fabric ... need a cake before you try again...

The trees are stunning. Oh dear can you do some fudging? Great idea with the food donations. Good luck with your sewing.
ReplyDeletehate those oopsies but I'll bet you make it work somehow!
ReplyDeleteWe have our own version of Christmas Tree here in New Zealand. The pohutokawa tree has crimson stringy type flowers rather like a dahlia and they are tipped in yellow. This native coastal growing tree in known as the New Zealand Christmss Tree as it flowers over summer.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to donate food items to a good cause at Christmas functions. And your jandal ornaments are so cute,
Oh that tree is gorgeous! Nice treats. Hope the cuppa helped xx
ReplyDeleteLovely trees
ReplyDeleteFudging sounds good and your Christmas treats look not only eye candy but yummy too
Lovely tree in your part of the country, sometimes the scraggiest plants have the best flowers. I reckon a bit o fudging and you could make it work. We always donate and give pantry items instead of gifts we don't really need.
ReplyDeleteTHose trees are beautiful Maria! Isn't it strange how the one country can have such vast differences? Hopefully when these restrictions have settled, travel might be on the cards again and we'll be able to share each others scenery! Im glad im not the only 'fudger'! I really should slow down sometimes....but then, where's the fun in that? Merry Christmas and Big sugary hugs :o)
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas bush looks lovely. I do like the idea of giving for a hamper at your Christmas lunch and I hope you get your border sorted out one way or another.
ReplyDeleteOh darn - hope you can resolve it.
ReplyDeletegiving food instead of presents is a great idea!
Cute flip-flop ornaments! And I love your Aussie Christmas trees. I'd love to see those. I'm glad you enjoyed getting together with your friends.
