Very Merry Christmas!!

My christmas wish list !

We all can have our christmas wish list, whether they are fulfilled or not is another matter, but wishing and dreaming are fun and good for the soul and imagination.  My list is short and sweet and will most likely be filled by me, but why ever not!   So here is  my list.      

      1/ The sweetheart tree Lavender fields Quadrielle embroidery kit ( so pretty)

2/.Tanya Whelans new book "Sew what you love" and a bundle of her pretty new fabrics "Sugar Hill"



















3/. So easy this one, to be happy! And enjoy living in the moment more!

Gingerbread Houses

Lots of fun had making these gingerbread houses! More photos to come having trouble transfereing them from my phone. Oh well another day!

Getting ready for Santa

Another year and another set of plans and good intentions to be ready for the festive season tried to slip by me again this year,but i have managed just in the nick of time to get this show on the road, I will not let this horriable Mastoiditis stop me from my christmas cheer!. I  have already made and decorated a gingerbread house with my Mother and am so glad for the effort, she so enjoyed it and it was nice to spend an afternoon doing just this one thing together.

Tonight i will decorate a gingerbread sliegh and house with my daughters and grandson. So the list is getting shorter,only 5 gifts left to buy,1 wall hanging to make and cards and gifts to be sent tomorrow, and a little baking on friday and i will be happy enough this year.

Well the big day was this past saturday and it was lovely as all weddings are,it's so good to see her happy and settled and above all loved and she so deserves. So may i introduce you all to Mr and Mrs Marc and Jessica Johnson.

Time Flies ,A Green Summer and all that, and (OOHH!!! I have a surprise)

Love the new Oliver and S pattern book

Our green garden,

Wow where did February go,the girls have settled into school well (although we are often late)and have both had the chance to be class leaders and both have recieved Merit awards. The summer here in Griffith has been much milder and definately wetter than normal,and i ain't complaining,still a bit too warm for this old Highland girl but OH !!the GREEN,everything is so green and alive here so beautiful, normally everything is dry and dead by summers end, you can never water enough and our water restrictions have been lifed too.I wish i could say i've achieved alot this past month, but life does not always go to plan, everyone except the twins have had tummy bugs and flu. So now the dust has settled i'm working on a major clearance of all my sewing fabrics and craft, i have some new great ideas and projects i want to try,so out with the old and in with the new, also thinking of retiring from the fabric yoyo making bussiness , i've been making them for over two years now and think it's time for a change a, they are very pretty and fun to make but take alot of work and preparation but not repayment, besides i still havent made anything for myself, have always wanted to make a yoyo quilt.One thing on the top of my new project list is to make the girls these too cute TUTUs and Red Riding Hood cape from the Oliver and S Little things to sew book, i just love their patterns and fabric linehttp://www.oliverands.com/.
