...Oh....and I am also ready for Christmas..! Did the final bit of shopping last night - there were relatively few people in the shops so it was plain sailing....then home to do the last of the baking.......
.......which at around 2am looked like this.......
There has also been a bit of activity in the sewing room........................
These were a Moda Bake Shop pattern from Kimberly - they were so simple to make...and the pattern was easy to follow - everything went together really well......Thanks Kimberly! When I decide to sew I spend ages trying to choose fabric....so early in the week when I was too tired to sew or bake I dumped a load of fabric onto the kitchen bench with the mat and cutter and picked out fabrics and cut out pieces so when I did have time/energy to sew I had several little bags all ready to stitch.........work has been busy.......and today will be no different...when I get there that is!! Best I be getting off this computer...and in the car......!! We break up at lunch time today for a week's break......can't wait!!!
Just before I go.........one of the things on my "bucket list" is to experience a white Christmas.....Rose...bless her little cotton socks.....must have known this......
..........and decided to help out......the remains of the cushion from one of the outside chairs was strewn across both bits of lawn out the back......thanks Rose!! ........but I don't think that counts......the thought was obviously there though???
I hope everyone has a stress free, safe and happy Christmas.....and that 2011 is a cracker of a year!
'Til next time........................Lorraine
