Third Week of December


I do feel more unready for Christmas than other years!  It has come up so quickly.

Fabulous mail has been landing in my post box

Some gorgeous Tilda ornaments from Michelle....


A lovely postcard from Maria,


Cute reindeer ornament from Karen,


... and a pair of Angels from Susan (an extra one specially for Debs)


I am well behind on a gift I have been making.... panels have been quilted - you can see better on the back (supposed to be gum leaf shapes)


This is the pretty fabric I am using (it's actually backing but just what I wanted)


Quilting of my Sylvia's Sampler is ongoing though I am at the last few rows....


.. and I have picked up the crochet blanket now more blue yarn arrived, it is very hot in the evenings so it's going slowly.....


Wishing everyone an amazing Christmas week..... 

Righto, Gotto Go..... another ridiculously hot day ahead..... and I need to make progress on that gift.

You got some lovely little gifts. Love the reindeer. Somehow you will get to Christmas at the same time as everyone else. Stay cool. ;^)

Lots of goodies in your post box! I love the reindeer, too cute. Progress on Sylvia's Sampler quilt, before you know it's done! It's hot (and humid) here too, but still bearable. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Lots of chrissy post.
Lovely fabric you’re making the gift out and yes too nice for backing.
Your quilting will be finished soon and good progress on the crocheting in the heat.
