CHRISTMAS DECORATING

Well , count down has begun for the fun and festivities  and this week I received a couple of gifts that are now sitting happily on the Christmas tree.
 The lovely heart arrived this week from Virginia who by then  was on her way back to Melbourne to be with her family for Christmas. If you read this Virginia thank you it is charming  and love it and hope you have a wonderful time. The peg doll was made by one of my lovely quilt group. Thank  you Pam - she loves fiddling about with small things.We call her the fiddler.
I found this Christmas panel left over from when I had the shop and am thrilled to be able to make it into a Santa sack for my little precious . You wouldn't believe it I woke up one night this week at 3am and couldn't get back to sleep so set to making the sack using three layers of batting to make his beard more prounounced and appliqued her name on the back using blanket stitch on the machine.
Job Done .
 Partner in crime called over to see me yesterday and was telling how my house looked so festive and should put photos up for you all to see. This year I have made more of an effort as I am more settled in my new home and in my own mind.
