Sewing and Knitting.

 These are what I am making for Christmas next year, Christmas baubles, a few at a time whenever the spirit takes me, this is what I have been working on the past few days.

Yesterday and today I am working on Laundry bags and bags for the Angels for the Forgotten Charity.

Merry Christmas!

 Meggie,

 Take time out to look at the sky and dream a little once in a while.

What I Am Making Today.

 Decorations being made.

 This is an Idea I came up with. This one is the prototype made out of fake leather.

I call it a Pick Pocket. It is a holder for your pick that goes onto your key ring. Now to look for some real leather and an eyelet.

Caught!

Caught in the act! Cheeky girls helping themselves.

Something For Me.

I bought something for myself and it arrived today, I am very happy with how they look. Using a $20 voucher from Vistaprint I got the cards and mug for free, just paid for postage. I am very happy how they turned out and the mug will be going to club each month in the mug bag I won last year.

Christmas Balls

 This is Tilli and Meggies' Christmas gifts. Fluffy knitted Christmas balls.

This is the balls I am using for the centre. They are 18 cm round and cheap! $6 on ebay for 100 balls, light weight hollow plastic for play pits. I am using them for next years thank you gifts. Some will be knitted, some crochet and some with fabric and felt. Some will have embroidered and cross stitch panels too.

Christmas Trees and Teddy.

 The tree is up! Can you see Meggie?

 

Look at this lovely teddy.

 I moved him here so that I can see him. After giving presents to the staff in Spotlight and as I was about to leave, One of the lovely staff members called me back and gave me this really lovely teddy. How wonderful and totally unexpected. I thanked them as said I will enjoy him for a few days and get some picture with him and I will then put him under the K Mart Wishing Tree for some child to cherish. (he is so soft and cuddly).

This is the dining room table.
I have also put a wreath on the front door, but that is a picture for another day.
