The Christmas mood strikes!!

I have learned,

in whatsoever state I am,

therewith to be content.

Hello, I have just dragged myself out of

my sewing shed, and boy it was hard to

do!! I made an early start on....supposedly

cleaning my sewing shed up, I did start to

but then I laid eyes on some Christmas material.

 

This is what I’ve made this morning, a

Christmas present bag and a small gusset

Christmas box. Great ideas to jazz up

the joy of giving at Christmas.

 Getting in the Christmas mood....already!!

I am rather pleased with this little stitchery

that I enjoyed making.

 

A couple of days ago after I’d painted the

furniture for the dolls house, I made some

cute bed linen for the dolls bed. I rather

like the ric rac, it is nice and bright.

Funky bedding for the doll house

 

My rascal friend Heather and I went for a

trip to a quaint little town about 20

minutes away from home. We had heard of

a fantastic craft shop there and had to

investigate for ourselves. Of course

Heather finds the best things!

The hand of a precious soul

 

We also went

for a walk to the op-shop and it was

typical of a small country town. Everyone

we met said hello, smiled and seemed

cheery. It was such a peaceful place.

I promised myself while I was on holidays

that I would do one spring clean job a day,

That hasn’t happened yet today, but it will.

I attacked my antique tea trolley yesterday

replacing all the doilies and runners with

fresh ones.

 

 Clean up day

Some of my treasures

 

 I just love the look of sparkling

China and dishes. I’m weird, I know.

Well, I can hear the sewing shed calling my

name, so I must go.
