Flirty fun….

  Well now, that got your attention, didn’t it???? LOL But this is what I was talking about…. I am determined to have my version finished before the year is out so I have been working on it today. So,  in between friends visiting to spread Christmas cheer…. I picked my sashing colours….. (not the best photos on a dull, dreary, yet sultry day!!!!) …then started to piece them together… I completed this last block on Sunday…before my computer decided to ‘go on a short holiday’!!!!!  (all fixed now!) Can you see the little ladybirds all in a row?? And here they are, starting to come together… I’m quite happy with the way it’s turning out…..much better than the photos show…after all, it was about 8pm when I took these last ones….fluorescent lights don’t really do it justice! I know they’re predicting more rain over the next week, but hopefully we’ll have a ‘sneak’ of sunshine, so I can show you a completed Flirting with Flowers wall hanging in the next day or two. I also know the weather-people are pretty well right this time……my knee is giving me so much grief and these pretty,  little maidens, I know them as dove orchids, are always an accurate, tell-tale sign!!!! Hope the weather’s not holding you back on having some fun!

Christmas catch ups

  How are you going on your Holly Jolly Bingo words????   I’m not doing so well, I only have 10 words out of the 25 so far but I’m planning the slow and steady approach, I think!!!!!  LOL   Well, I’ve finally got the Christmas decorations up….a little later than normal this year.  We always had a tradition to put the tree up on December 1, but that sort of fell apart when DS was born……16 years ago!!!  We do still TRY, but………!!!!!!!! Here we go for a quick, whirlwind visit around my place…..
I made this little guy quite a few years back and he never fails to lose his way at the tv!!!! Bells in the kitchen…..
…baubles in the dining room…..notice the wilting candles…..the tropical heat and humidity has NOT been kind!!!! hee hee
My hubby always sends me a singing and dancing toy for Valentine’s day each year, so when I saw this singing reindeer stocking…..guess what I just had to do??? Our tree…not many presents yet….well!!!!!……Santa hasn’t been yet!!!!!!! LOL  Do you notice up in the corner???….my Birdcage from Jenny and my Birdcage Challenge??? it fits in beautifully….looks like Christmas doves!!!!! This Christmas setting is very dear to me…..I just love it and it’s meaning is true and clear!
…….and seeing we don’t have a chimney….. ….just in case!!!! I made this Santa garland many years ago….I think it looks great against the timber buffet. and on top of the buffet……is another Christmas tree and it wears my Christmas decoration from the SSCS swap with pride!  Thanks so much Kornelia and Chooky!
Here is my decoration from last year’s swap My favourite Baboushka Santas…..

Christmas blessings…. and dry clothes for Santa after his long ‘damp’ trek through the snow! (C’mon, we all know he’s magic….those clothes might be small now but…..!!!!! *wink*)
and why not another Christmas tree in the kitchen??  I do love my Christmas trees!!!!!!
and I’ve been thinking of finishing some of my many ‘starts’ this year…..  yesterday I’ve been working on these….   Do you recognise them?   They’re from Vicki’s Flirty Flowers pattern….I’m determined to finish it THIS YEAR!!!!! and here is today’s stitchy task….. ….which will be the last before I can put it all together!!!!!   Woohoo!!!!!
