I have been busy sewing but can't show you too much .... the recipients might read my blog!
I can show you two Christmas baskets I have put together ..
4 hexagon coasters (so quick and easy), a mini Christmas Pudding and of course..... some chocolates!!

Our weather has finally turned hot and humid with the odd afternoon thunderstorm.... just in time for Christmas day:-)
Tonight I plan to do some more sewing..... I have an overhead fan and the room is quite cool. I have some new patterns I'm keen to try - they are Snap Purses (click for link) using cut up metal tape measures .. will let you know how they turn out!
.... then again, I could just sit on the verandah with a glass of red!!
Happy Sewing!!
With weather like that on the way the red sounds like a good choice. Happy crafting no matter what you make.
ReplyDeleteIt's all so beautiful Helen. I especially like the ballerina bag!
You're so talented.
I'm enjoying a Bailey's whilst reading this - just finished (well I hope, it needs to be checked in daylight) the quilting on a Symposium 2011 challenge - it's taken weeks to do 'cause I'm such a worrier, or procrastinator! Congrats on doing some beautiful sewing for pressies - they are very lucky recipients!
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, I have received your Chrissy present - thanks, it's lovely! You're too kind!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very happy Christmas and a wonderful 2011!
Love, Linda
