Christmas in the Summer time.

Hello my friends.
Sit down for a few minutes and visit with me.

These last few weeks have flown by as they have been so busy.

This `Santa Trio` by Disa Designs I made for one of my friends 

as her Birthday Christmas gift .

She doesn`t have a blog but was so excited I made them for her. 

In the pattern they didn`t have noses but I added those on.

So cute.

A thankyou  to Chookyblue for hosting this years SSCS.

Peg of Happy in Quilting blog parcel had these lovey 

gifts for me:

An Angel table runner,  

Peg I love your lovely hand work.

A tissue holder (this to go into my stitching bag),

some chocolates, a satchel (this will be in constant use)

and Leanne Beasleys `Butterflies and Blossom` pattern

with fabric and rick rack. I am looking forward to making this.  

Thankyou again Peg.

This was my gift and  for Jan of  Little Red Hen

with a chocolate star. I forgot to take a photo of that.

Merry stitchmas tree was the ornament for Jan.

Now this would be a very long post if all gift shown today!

   put my gifts in this cute bag.

For some reason the photo has turned on this

Joy ornament. On the tree it is straight!!

The Sleigh came by today.

Hello my friends,time for a visit.

To day the SSCS sleigh came by.

Peg of `Happy in Quilting` sent me these two parcels.

One to open now and the other for under the tree.

That will be when Miss Tilly kitten is in bed Christmas Eve.

Other wise she will open it for me!

The little green parcel held these delightful ornaments.

They are so cute.

Thankyou Peg for these lovely gifts and

 Elf Chookyblue for organizing this lovely swap.

This is the ornament I made for Jan of

`Little red Hen 08 as part of my swap for her.

Yesterday this happened to my clothes line 

while hubby drove the trailer round the house:(

Here is the lines wrapped with the # of pegs for each round.

Hubby promises to have it back like by the weekend.

I still have the lines in the carport

 but would not want that long term.

At least we are with Summer weather! 

Time to go and get some speacial projects further on for completion.

Thankyou for your visit.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.
