Red Hatters Xmas Lunch

We had a wonderful time at the Red Hatters Lunch. Joyce is the joker of the group and always willing to keep us laughing. Today she arrived with her hat wrapped in tinsel,baubles hanging of her ears and lots of bling.

The Crimson Butterflies from Geralton joined us and after a BIT of chatting we had a lovely meal.

Because we had all been such good girls this year Santa and his little elf arrived to hand out gifts to all of us.

Of course he had to wear his purple suit for this occasion!!Louise must have been extra good as she got a BIG kiss from Santa

I have started!!

Today I finally went into the hall cupborad and got the Xmas boxes off the top shelf.  Here are some of the tiny ones in a row.                    
                                                        Tiny wall hangs.

Annabel and Frosty sitting up high, my ornament swap hanging on the door.

The little Nativity which I painted many years ago.

Tomorrow I will put up my little tree and hang some tinsel from the ceiling.

Put the fairy lights up around the patio.

Then wait for all the family to arrive. I am sure the littlies will love it and will be anxiously waiting for Santa to comeTo "Oma's and Pops" house.

In's and Out's

After a rather busy week I have managed to finish two projects that are going OUT of the house. I am very pleased with my little Xmas wall hanging that was a freebie from the Gum Tree Designers. Also my tote bag which I have made as my Xmas gift for my Red Hatters Xmas lunch on Saturday. 

When I went to check my mail this morning I was delighted to have a little card in my box which means I had something to collect from inside the post office. The lady handed me not one BUT two parcels. My absolutely gorgeous ornament/handmade card swap from Lynda.

 Also the giveaway I won from Heidi for joining in her "Friday Night Sewing Night"  

                                                   

Cave Man??

After my computer crashed I lost a lot of my photos and things. But I discovered some CD's in the cupboard so thought I would check them out.

Found this one of  my youngest grandson. My DD2 and family are in Grey Company. A re-enactment group. So dress ups are not unusal in their home .I just love this one and thought I would share it.

Ready to Go

Another gift ready to go in the mail.
I really had fun stitching this "Calender Holder"

Now I can try and get my sewing room in some sort of order.

I seem to have fabric, pattern books, pins and an assortment of other sewing bits and pieces all over the room.

Then I can get back to the boxes on the shelf.

Friday Night Sew In

Well I can't say I achieved what I wanted. Had the machine all set up with my cruise control unit so I could finish quilting a mystery quilt I
started last year. Wanted to do a wavey line across the quilt but it went pear shape and now I need to do some reverse sewing.


Then I decided to make a calender holder I saw on Julia's Place .Was going to start it this afternoon BUT!!!

This is waht I have done so far. Still have a lot of stitching to do before it is finished. Hope to have it in the mail next week.
