A Skirt.....

For years I have wanted to make a ''Christmas Tree Skirt"...
I have a few patterns to do this project........
 that have been collected over the years as well.
So with only a week to Christmas whats a girl to do!
 but sew day and night to achieve it this Christmas 2014....
 nothing like a little bit of pressure on ones self even though my Christmas shopping is still to be finished hahahaha
and the Plum Pudding is yet to be made!!!!!!!!
So to the starting line I head (wink)

all traced, stuck to fabric and cut out
and
ironed onto the background
appliqued
  and quilted
 time for trimming
 binding and buttons to be added
 doesn't look to bad under there
 wrap and add some pressies
I think it looks pretty AWESOME...
now I must go soak the fruit for the pudding 
before I head to the hairdresser today...
finish my Christmas shopping tomorrow... well I hope too (wink)

Christma Sewing...

My ''baby cousin" loves to decorate for Christmas... 
she also likes to have me and my family over for
Christmas get together before Christmas
and
we are sort of making this a tradition, especially now that I am living closer.
Last Christmas get together I noticed her Christmas table runner was looking a little worst for wear... so I made her a newbie
 I have added some hotfix crystals to some of the trees
 tried to make it look a little like snow falling
 I have also made her 6 Christmas placemats....
the pattern for the runner can be found here

Let's Swap...

This wonderful parcel arrived yesterday...
 these were inside
 something for the tree
 something for the sewing room
 something to make
 something to read
 these are all my pressies together... 
oh there is ''something to eat" a yummy box of chocolate and yes I have done a taste test... plus there is one more pressie "something for under the tree"...
 love them all and I was very spoilt by Marcia, thank you...
and thank you Maree for all the swaps this year...
this is the gate to our property... 
there is a little competition going on around the ''estate'' to decorate your gate... I also have flashing solar lights on them for the night.
