Christmas Presents

Luckily I started these lap quilts early and finally finished the last one this week. They are for 2 friends of ours and also for my aunt. I used the tying method to quilt them so I hope they last ok.

I also I made tea towels for all the teachers and we put them together with some chocolates. I used a Cosmo fabric along the bottom.

A Little Quiet

I think things are going to be a little quiet on this blog for a while. Jeff has actually broken his heel bone. No operation and no plaster but no weight bearing for 10 weeks so needless to say I think I am going to be a little tied up on my holidays.

I've been feeling pretty down about it and haven't been doing any sewing although I had heaps to do. Hopefully I'll have some things to post about soon.

I did help Amy out at Mathildas last weekend and I got some lovely goodies from her (one that I can't show you yet)


and Sheridan bought me some fabric in Japan so it was fun to pick out my favourites.


I got these decorations from Lisa but haven't had time to make them yet.Lucy and Charlotte both had their Christmas concerts this week, Charlotte got a wonderful school report and there's only 3 days of school left, bring on the holidays.

Charlotte's class did that song from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when they are the wind up toys

Christmas

The tree went up today amid much drama. Charlotte and I popped out to go to Big W, we had just gotten there (great parking spot too) and we get a phone call from Jeff asking us to get some ice and Nurofen on the way home as he had slipped off the ladder while he was bringing Christmas decorations down from the roof space. Hopefully it is only a bad sprain but it means he has been propped up on the lounge all day, thank god the cricket's been on.

The girls were still anxious to put the tree up and decorate it and I think they did a great job.


I'm off to Mathilda's tomorrow to help Amy so make sure you say hi if you pop by.
