It’s beginning to look a lot like……

 

Christmas….don’t you think??

I was surprised to see all the decorations and Christmas paraphernalia in the supermarkets and shops already!!!!

But then, it IS only 68 days till Christmas!!!!

EEK!

So I thought I’d better get a wriggle on…

Thank you Rosalie for this wonderful little book you’ve produced just in time to save me!

This was one of my wonderful purchases at the Craft and Sewing Expo in Townsville a couple of weeks ago.

I managed to stitch up the first of my Christmas gifties this afternoon and just have to put it together…..OOOOhh OPAM, fingers crossed, I’m going to be hooting through with a number of finishes this month and next!!!!   wheeeeee!!!!!!

You have made a great start to Christmas-ness. And at least now the panels are installed the power will only go off if someone turns off the sun!
