Christmas Decorations

I received a kit to make this decoration 

at a recent stitching day I went to.

I was going to give it away but decided 

I liked it too much! 

It's now up on my wall! LOL!

I also made these ornaments to be gifted.

 

Following my previous post where I mentioned 

everyone now being no-reply bloggers, 

Jennifer from Elefantz Designs let me know that 

if you click reply, the email address suddenly appears,

even if it states no-reply blogger. 

Very strange! 

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

Zoom Stitching With Friends

  

I spent a lovely afternoon yesterday

 zoom stitching organised by Chooky Blue. 

There were girls from Australia, New Zealand, 

Germany, UK, USA and Canada. 

I finished the embroidery on my banner but have run out of my 

glue pen so put this away to work on my hexagons.

I worked on my Tilda hexagon quilt whilst chatting with everyone. 

The time just goes so fast.

Thank you Donna for a lovely afternoon. 

I'm looking forward to our next one.

Before I go, thought I'd share these photos from Christmas Day. 

I finally got a photo of the boys with their girls all together. 

Mitchell and Steph, Austin and Paris and Nelson and Jemma.

One with Nana.

We then tried the timer thingy on my phone and got one of all of us!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day. We certainly did.

Merry Christmas!

 

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.

Lots of Love,

Christine and Noel, 

Mitchell and Steph, Austin and Paris, Nelson and Jemma

And Molly and Rex

Merry Grinchmas!

Austin's girlfriend, Paris, just loves The Grinch. 

I found this fabric after Christmas last year. 

I thought I would make her some cushions and a couple of table 

runners for their new home for this Christmas.

I gave them to Paris for her birthday which was a 

few days ago. That way she could have them out for longer.

 

Their dining table is a huge 2.4 metres long! 

I made the runner 80 inches long. 

The coffee table is 1.3m long. 

This runner is 50 inches long.

I only had one metre of the Grinch fabric and had no success finding more. 

Who would have thought they would buy such a big table! 

With a lot of calculating, I managed to get the most out of the 

fabric to make everything I wanted to. 

This small piece is the only scrap left over!

 

Merry Christmas 2020!

  

Wishing all our family and friends

a very Merry Christmas.

Lots of Love

Christine and Noel

Mitchell and Steph

Austin and Paris

Christmas Decorating Today!

 Nelson with his helper, Molly.

 Just to show I was helping too!

 Molly getting into the spirit of it.

 But not for long!

 Lots of new Christmas things this year.

 My Blogging Friends Christmas tree

has a couple of new additions.

I should have put the tree lights on for you.

 Christmas mini quilts. Three new ones for this Christmas.

It's lovely to now be able to put out the gorgeous Christmas gifts I received in swaps this year. 

My Christmas in July from Michell (Michell's Place).

The little reindeer.

Let It Snow hanging.

The third new one is my Making Spirits Bright.

 Karen (Sunburnt Quilts) made me the gorgeous 

snowman and penguin in our Tilda Swap. 

These two have been sitting in my cabinet in the sewing room, patiently waiting to come out!

 I can finally put out my gorgeous table runner 

Keryn (Christmas Creations) made for our Spotty Swap.

Now to put up the outside lights. 

I think I'll leave that until tomorrow.

Six Items Christmas Swap!

 My Secret Angel in the Angels and Mortals Six Items Christmas Swap turned out to be Carol from Club Quilt Narromine. Carol was one of my first swap partners 

when I first started swapping. It was for the 

F-R-I-E-N-D-S Swap back in 2010.

 

"Something for the sewing room"

A lovely sewing pouch. 

You should see how beautiful Carol's stitching is!

Inside were some extra goodies. 

A cute stitched bird scissor keep, fat quarter, 

varigated threads, needles and a quick unpick.

"Something for the tree"

Three new additions for my special Blogging Friends tree.

"Something smelly"

Hand cream, skin softener, soap and a knitted cloth. 

I'm going to smell so nice!

"Something to read"

I've had my eye on Lynette's book for a while! 

There was also a lovely bookmark.

"Something to eat"

Yummy short breads in the cutest Christmas tree tin and a couple of coffee sachets to enjoy with the short breads. 

Carol also sent along some lollies for the boys.

 The final gift is "For Under the Tree". 

It is waiting in my sewing room as we don't want to risk putting any gifts under the tree just in case that 

cheeky Molly decides to have a chew!

Thank you so much Carol. You have really spoilt me.

Thank you to Maree for organising this year's fun 

Angels and Mortals Swaps.
