Not long to go

Where has the time gone?  I can not believe that it is only two days till Christmas. With everything that has gone on throughout this year it has really made me sit back and reflect.

I see just how lucky Hannah & I are. We have a family who love & support us unconditionally. I have faith that 2011 will be better. And we have friends who love,support,& spoil us rotten. So many people are in far worse conditions & circumstances. I remind myself of this on a daily basis.

I have been happily sewing and crochetting like a mad woman. Atleast 75% of presents this year being given by Hannah & I are handmade. I tried to do them all, but just couldn't get my head around it. Heres hoping for next year.

I have also been patiently stalking the post lady waiting for my craft swap to arrive. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. I will also hunt through the packing boxes and find the cord to connect my camera so I can upload pictures of christmas crafts & my craft swap.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas that is filled with love,happiness,lots of handmade treasures, & seeing the joys on families faces.

New start!

Well things have been exceptionally busy here. Hannah & I have recently moved back to NSW from almost 6 years in Far Nth QLD. So the past 6 weeks have been a whirlwind.

With things starting to settle I starting to get my sewing mojo back, and back into things creative. My poor sewing machine didn't know what was going on being out of use for almost 8 weeks!!!

I am also taking part in the 'Xmas Washer Swap' over at Jellywares. Jodie has a stunning blog. Go have a look.  http://jellywares.blogspot.com/   My Daughter & I always looks at Jodie's site together. Hannah loves the pics of the lambs and pic's of their farm.

The very first post

It has taken me quite sometime to actually start a blog. I want to use this space as a showcase for the sewing/ craft that I make for my daughter and family. Hope you enjoy your visit!
