EEEEEEEEKKKKKK!!!
I was lucky enough to receive 2 Christmas Tree blocks this month.... this week this lovely set of trees arrived from Jen (no blog) .... it's lovely... 4 pieced trees all joined together.... it will fit in perfectly with all the others I have HERE. Thanks Jen... I love it
My Christmas Items this month are the other 3 little ornaments (the first 3 I showed HERE)
a robin, reindeer and little angel
these will be a fun addition to our decoration collection
I also completed this very cute candle mat
This is from a pattern I received from Annette. The pattern was nice and easy to follow - a bit of stack and whack, then cutting templates and putting it all together... I have a few embroidery stitches on my machine so I played with some of them..
Thanks Annette for the lovely pattern..... now I have made one I may well do a few more.. they would be lovely gifts....
I am linking with Narelle and Allie - the notable cheerleaders for getting Christmas items done early....
Hoping you find time in your happy place....

Raining here, but hurricane hasn't arrived. Was hoping we could have clear skies for a little bit longer, but we needed the rain anyways.
I should go get my christmas book that I won and some felt, good project for this weekend.

Great post,and really lovely Christmas mat ..... you made me looking forward to X-mas:-) And YES, praying that the hurricane will go easy on the USA east coast.
Oh Fiona, you are so ahead of the game. I love the Christmas tree block(s). Jen did a great job. Your ornaments are so cute. I love working with wool/felt, you never have to worry about raw edges. I have my August project done, but should really get around to posting it.
My thoughts are with the USA as well...love those ornies Bubz...very cute
Love your christmas finishes, the candle mat is fantastic and your ornaments.
I can't wait till you put all those tree blocks together. Your new one is a gorgeous block.
I love your Christmas candle mat. The colors are so bright and cheerful.
All the embroidery stitches really add to it. Nola
Oops, forgot to add at the end that some of the fabric looks very familiar to me :) Nola

Thank you sweetheart, I know the folks on the east coast can sure use your prayers! I'm watching live coverage right now, have a niece in NY and I'm worried for her.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your ornaments!!! They are just darling, are those beads too? Very sweet! The tree block is great, how nice of Jen! Your candlemat is lovely, it looks complicated...great way to use your decorative stitches too! Great gifts!
Beautiful Fiona..
You sure can't beat home made Christmas...
I am with you, hope everyone is safe in the US and Canada..
Yes, Christmas is creeping up on us much quicker than we think! Love the goodies you have made and the blocks look great too.
I have family in the US in the hurricane area on the edge. They have been warned to move all items from the yard and secure everything they can. We are hoping it moves away but will have to wait and see.
4 months! Arrggghhhhhh.....I don't need to hear that!!!! Cute ornaments and candle mat...you'll be all ready set go when Christmas arrives...
Hello Fiona,
Yes the US needs lots of prayers at this time. Love your tree blocks you received and that candle mat is beautiful, just right for Christmas.
Is that you at the end of the posting jumping up and down?
Happy days.

Beautiful goodies - I'll bet you were a girl guide?! Nothing like being prepared huh? I can't say I'm thrilled to hear Christmas is only 4 months away - so much to happen between now and then!
