Take Care Peg

If you have health, you probably will be happy, and if you have health and happiness, you have all the wealth you need, even if it is not all you want.

Oh No its Monday……again…

 

 

This is the Christmas ornie that I made for our recent FIS swap…..my little parcel went to Helen….

 

 

My very dear friend Dale has just returned from Holidays in NZ…and look what she bought back for me….

these gorgeous coasters which are made from glass and have Paua Shell embedded into them….just beautiful…and some yummy soap, you could nearly eat it…it smells so good…

big hugs Dale thankyou so much….…..

Please, if you have a spare minute, I would love for you to pop over to our Club Quilt blog and have a look at one of our first completed Scandinavian Christmas quilts which has been done by Cath…she has done the most amazing job…..

Happy Monday

Take Care Peg

Christmas is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving year - and yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority.

Club Quilt day…

 

This is another little project I was working on yesterday,

but today is a Club Quilt day….I have made a few berry muffins to take along ….

Just a quick reminder to all our OPAMers….only a couple of days left of November….and I am sure we are going to have a huge amount of finishes…

Please email Kris or myself with your tallies and don’t forget to update your sidebar….thanks a lot….

I hope you all have a fantastic Sunday

Take Care Peg..

Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas. 

My Soldier….

Last night we had our Annual FIS Ornie swap…

and this little fellow…how gorgeous is he…was made for me by De…

I just love candlewicking….he is going to have a very special spot on my tree…

I have a birthday coming up and De also sent along lovely threads, and yes I can put those to good use…

Thankyou  so much De, he will be treasured…..great big mwah coming your way..

these are a couple of Christmas table runners I am making for my boys and their partners…

Happy Saturday,…… the sun is out today…..

Take Care Peg…

If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend,

that would be giving as the angels give. 

A day off….

Work has been so very hectic….so I have decided to have a day off…

and the best way to relax is…..to ”SEW”……

Happy Friday

Take Care Peg…

When you look at your life, the greatest happiness's are family happiness's.

New fabric old friends Heaven….

 

In my stash I had forgotten about some panels I had stashed away…

Happy Thursday

Take Care Peg……

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know,
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow...

Parcels coming…parcels going….

Look what has arrived at my place…..

My advent swap goodies from Maria…..and they smell so nice…

 

And this is the parcel that I have made up to send to Maria…

 

 

Just a couple of quick tea towels….

Happy Wednesday….

Take Care Peg…

One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day.

Don't clean it up too quickly.

Tuesday again….

This is a little 6inch ruler cover that I have made…the stitchery is from Tail Feathers by Cinderberry Stitches…

Happy Tuesday

Take Care Peg….

He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
