I Found It!

I will admit that my sewing room was a bit messy before but after the boys had finished wrapping their presents on Christmas Eve, this is how I found the room!
Nelson emptied my old case that's filled with fabric so he could put a box in a box in a box in the case.

Roll on Boxing Day and I have found the floor again!

Now I feel I can do some stitching as the room is tidy.

One That Just Beat Santa!

One last bit of happy mail arrived on Christmas Eve. 

Thank you Fiona for my lovely ornament. 

As you can see, it is on my special tree.

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas Day. We did here.

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.

Lots of Love

Christine, Noel, Mitchell, Austin, Nelson and Molly

Christmas Ornaments!

At the end of last Christmas I came upon these lovely wooden ornaments. When I bought them my plan was to stitch them onto felt to make the shapes stand out. I think they have turned out quite nice, even if I do say so myself!

Christmas Decorating 2015

Molly wanted to be part of the decorations! 

Lying on the footy bag again. Yes, you read right, footy bag! Pre-season training has been going for a few weeks now. Not much of a break from footy.

My Blogging Friends Tree that is getting fuller by the day. 

I think I'll need to buy a bigger one for next year.

 The Christmas minis have replaced the other mini quilts.

 Did you notice my Christmas Teddy? 

He has found a new place to hang out. That's the lovely bag Fiona made for me last Christmas.

 

 

 My tea light holders.

 Do you like my new snowman? Noel bought it for me last Sunday. The little red church is my favourite.

 Icicle lights all around the front of the house. There are coloured ones on the ceiling of the carport but it looks like 

I took the photo just as they faded out.

 The tree through the window. 

Again, the lights were starting their fade out part.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my decorating for this year.

It's lovely pulling out all the gorgeous Christmas things my blogging friends have made for me over the years.

Some Lovely Mail!

Don't you love Christmas time when amongst all those horrible bills, some happy mail appears!

The lovely Michelle (Tag-Tag Stitchin') sent me this sweet stocking ornament to hang on my Blogging Friends tree. There was also one of her lovely Gingie designs too.

 

And my friend Maria (Life On The Block) sent me this lovely coaster from all the way over in Western Australia. 

I hope to meet Maria one day. We came very close a little while ago but it wasn't to be.

Thank you Michelle and Maria for my lovely gifts.
