Yes I Have Been Quiet... But Busy

This is a table runner that I have made for my SIL for Christmas... it is called a D9 block... a close up for you of a block... these are leftover from a quilt/throw that I am making for my sister who lives in Queensland... My SIL has a very big dinning table that seats 10... hence the very long runner...

The quilt is of different shades of green... yes with a hint or two of lime hehehehe... and a wee bit of red to go with a feature wall she has in her living area.

Hahahahaha looks like a snake in the garden...

I have also been finishing presents and wrapping and posting them off plus doing Christmas cards... I didn't send many cards last Christmas after the terrible few months of losing my Uncle, then my brother so quickly and unexpectedly and then the 3 month illness of my FIL and his death... my Mum nearly dieing on us with undiagnosed diabetes.... this was just all to much to cope with and when christmas came around it was just horrible... we were all trying to put on a brave face and just felt so crappy............. but this year will be so different.......... we need to celebrate the lives we have and the lives of those we lost....... as we are still here and life does go on and we need to make the most of what we have and who we have............... so bring on Christmas...... woohoo.....

Oh and I made plum pudding...... so I am not a ''virgin plum pudding maker''....... last year I bought one mmmm it was a lot to be desired on taste and from the look around the table from family I am just not game enough to buy another hahahaha..... Hubby's Aunt use to make us one every Christmas... that was our pressie..... now she has moved away....... this station girl must step right up..... but it will NOT be as good as Aunty May's..............

Oh oh oh oh oh.... we have a Wii........... and today hubby and I played the boxing game......... hahahahahahaha I KO'd him twice hahahahahaha and we were so hot after that we had a swim... it's about 42 here today.

Luv T xxxx
