Merry Christmas!

The madness here starts today so I will very quickly come in now and say...

From my Family to yours

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Ear (the boys' version)!

My Christmas toy drop.

B just rebuilt my computer and hasn't loaded a photo editing program yet so I will be scarce for a bit with the pictures.

Here is the toys society blog and my drop.

So much fun!

What a crazy month!

Hello to my 20 subscribers!! Love seeing that number grow. ;)

So I've been busy. My computer died so we had to get a new one but I lost 2 months worth of photos. Nothing big, but because I hadn't blogged for awhile there are some things you won't get to see. Sorry about that.

Anyway, here is what I have done that you can see:

Levi's bag

The boys' cowboy toys. I think they will be hatless because they look like they are wearing farmer's hats.

Check out the fringe on the leg!!




A Bellarina band for a "cousin." The zippered puch photo is gone, it was cute though!



Reversible napkins for my Grandma (Mormor)


The scottie dog for the toy society Christmas drop this weekend

I don't know if you can tell but he's actually blue velvet. Vintage blue velvet.

This is a cape I made for the boys. I also put one in the shop and have fabric to make many more.

A dress for the shop. (Just needed ribbon.)

And my beautiful Levi before his haircut. Now it is so short. He looks so big! Will take a new pic tomorrow to show you all. *sob*

My stocking swap came!

Look at this loveliness from Meghan.

Isn't she clever? Thanks so much Meghan! I love them!

Here is our advent calendar that I "scrapped."

Oh shit. Almost forgot! I won a giveaway on giveaway day! I am so pleased! From this talented and lovely lady. I won the pillows, now I need to decide which ones to choose!

December

Gosh, it's a busy time of year, isn't it?

Just seems to be non-stop.
I have no idea what I am up to here.

I told you all about my swap with Jo, right? The handmade ornaments? I got mine yesterday from Ali.

She made some gorgeous decos for the tree from I think, ribbon? They are just lovely and a yoyo garland that I have no idea where to hang so it won't get wrecked. (by little jumping up and pulling things down people) Oh and some candy canes for me... no, I mean the boys!

...Um... I posted my stocking full o'Cheer and that's been received, my partner requested silver which totally threw me! I am normally a gold person and finding silver fabric was really tricky! Nonetheless got there in the end and actually really enjoyed the challenge. Here is what I made:

I keep trying to take pics of the decorations around the house but it's so gloomy at the moment.

Shock

Wow, what a complete shock!

I can't believe how many of you stopped by. Thanks for coming!

The winner of the draw was chosen by Brad, my partner. I have no paper in the printer so instead I asked him to pick a number between 1 and 168. (Someone double posted, surprisingly it wasn't Car looking for an extra chance!)

He chose number 62. The winner is frogdancer! Congratulations! I will be posting out your stocking and goodies as soon as I have your snail mail address.

Thanks so much to everyone for stopping by. Hang around. I love spreading the love and can assure you there will be more giveaways in the new year!

Handmade Christmas Ornament Swap

Here are the little goodies I posted off to Jojo.

Don't you love this? It's a bias blossom with a fabric button! Reusable people!! I feel like I should say "I'm so clever" but that would be dodgy right?

I am eagerly anticipating receiving mine!!

And here is my lovely Secret Santa gift from the Newbie Quilter's group.

It was so hard not opening this! The lollies are gone, yes.
