My Club Quilt Gift....





Club Quilt held their Christmas Party last Thursday and it was a wonderful night.....it is a choice thing.......we exchange gifts, but the gift is to be hand made....this year I made a quilt...yes it was made out of Moda Fabric...Chelsea Boutique...once again charm packs, a small peeper and boarder....Pat received my gift, she was thrilled as she had not received a quilt made by anyone before, so I was tickled pink that Pat received my gift....

Birthday Gift for Shell



Shell is the young lady I work with....she has just turned 20.....Shell has bought herself a new car so for her birthday I bought her some car mats (and I gave them to her before her birthday).......and I was given firm instructions by Shell that I was not to give her anything else for her birthday....who listens to that rubbish...anyway I did make her a shaggy quilt....Moda fabric "A Little Romance" and she loved it...

Christmas Decos


Each year I try to make a new Christmas decoration.....unfortunately this year I have fallen in a heap...these are a few of the things I have made over the year.....
When I first started to quilt...two lovely ladies Ruth and Pat held a Christmas quilting day..we were making Christmas trees....the girls cut the kits out, huge job, as there were so many of us doing the day.... and we put them together....(not very well, might I add) anyway I did make two and I put them up every year.....dodgey sewing and all....

Ho Ho Ho





My DH spent most of yesterday putting up our Christmas lights on the outside of our home , and when I came home from work we put up our tree and decorations....must have Bing Crosby playing when you put up the decos and it must be played so the neighbours can also enjoy....and you must listen to "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" at least twice....

Secret Santa Received





I have just received my Secret Santa Swap......I have not peeked.....I opened the packaging and inside was this lovely red bag....it is now under my tree waiting for Christmas day...thank you so much Rose Marie....

Also received some cash....


So when you have cash you spend it, so I went to the local nursery and purchased this lovely two seater, I already had one, so now it has a mate..........

I have shared with you all the gifts I have received from my very special friends....as I have said before I am so very blessed to have such generous, caring people in my life, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for an absolutely fantastic 50th Birthday.........

Very Special


This arrangement was sent to me by my very old friend - Caley - who lives in Henty....I am sure some people would remember when you start at a new school......(I was born in Narromine and our family moved away and when I was 6 we returned) ....so my first day at Narromine Primary School someone is asked to look after you because you are new, well Caley was the person to look after me....44 years we have been friends.........

Beautiful Standard


Sheila gave me this lovely standard "Lilly Pilly" these are a beautiful plant.....it will have a special place in my garden, as Sheila in my heart.

Blown away again....


Another very generous gift voucher this time from Kaffaleena and her beautiful family...the voucher is from "Steppin Out Shoes" no girl ever has enough pairs of shoes or enough handbags....not sure what to buy yet....beautiful gift, thanks so very much to the Jacos.....

Gift Voucher


Received this very nice gift voucher from June and Kimmie..."Health and Beauty Shop in Narromine".....very very generous and of course I love going to Raelene.....
