Oriental Table Runner

Here is the table runner I have just finished. It's a gift for a friend. The second photo shows the flowers I made from my new toy. They were fun and easy to to do and I'll use them again for decoration,

Felix's New Jammies

Just finished making Felix four pairs of pyjama pants for his birthday. Teamed with longsleeved chainstore tops they'll be great for winter. So much better than that awful licensed stuff!

Upholstery - My First Effort

Here is my first effort at upholstery. This is the fourth chair and the best.

Sewing day at Myra's place

Here we are at my place today doing various different crafts : beading, applique, embroidery, crochet, origami fabric blocks, handsewing, stripping (fabric of course) AND a lot of eating,  talking and drinking tea. What fun! Nice day.

The Christmas Table

The Christmas Table

Here is the Christmas table. I love to get this little tree out and put on all the old cookie cutters I bought in an antique shop in Georgia. I think of the women who used them and hope their cookies bought joy to many children. Behind the tree you can see my new wallpaper which turned out to be perfect for the dining/kitchen wall and covered up an awful lot of that nasty ole beige. Yes, my friends, you are allowed to like beige but don't expect me to. I'm a gaudy gal! The more gold the better! I love the Art Deco feel to this wallpaper. Thank you too Robbie, for the pretty Xmas bunting you made and sent me for Christmas. I love it!

Christmas

Hello and Merry Xmas to all my lovely  friends on this wonderful Christmas Eve!

I've been busy organising stuff for Xmas as you have too. All the usual stuff - shopping for food, shopping for pressies, having lunch going to Xmas parties etc etc. I haven't had time for the blog at all. I'm having Christmas at Suzi and Ed's place with my little boys and am looking forward to seeing them open their pressies. Christmas ain't Christmas without kids is it? It's a big family Xmas and I have done some placemats for my little boys and their two cousins. The three boys have stars on their placemats and Eloise (the queen of the cousins) has a heart. The colour theme this Xmas at Suzi's is aqua and red. It was fun planning it.Here are the piccys.
