Only 364 days to go...

Hello possums...

yes just a heads up... christmas IS COMING!!! its only 364 days to go.. Now please consider yourself warned.. there will be no excuses now for last minute shopping or sitting up on christmas eve waiting for the 'darlings' to go to _#()$*_)( bed so you can play santa...


I made this heart some years ago.. I think it looks cute.. I had to remember where I put it so I could drag it out this year...




I didn't do a lot of decorating this year... we have two tree's but since we have had a certain furry booger living with us, I only put one up.... he wasn't bothered at all by the tree this year, no ornaments committed 'ornamenticide' while we were at work/school... last year we'd come home and find more ornaments on the floor than on the tree...
So in thinking that we'd have 'ornamental carnage' I put a whole heap of red decorations into this tall glass vase I have had for at least 20 years, I bought it before I'd left home! Its a simple idea, it was on the table (didn't get a pic) with the forest of miniature trees..



So what did santa bring Lissapoo? well I got a new pandora bracelet (um no. 4 bracelet), a pandora necklace, 7 charms and two quilting books (the Elm Creek series).. I also got some lovely perfume (Giorgio which is my fave) and a few bits and pieces... So I was thoroughly spoiled (which I deserve to be)..

Sewing wise? um still not much happening here.. I have been buying fabric ten times quicker than I sew.....

So I thought I'd leave you a pic of Bailey the Wonderdog, busy doing what she does best.. see the blue pool in the background?? well its hers, its her favourite place to be in summer.. she even SLEEPS in it when its darn hot (it is summer here and we've had some scorchers already)

And this is Cosmo's favourite spot too.. the kids aren't allowed to bother him when he is in his play tunnel, it didn't take Cosmo very long to work out the kids don't annoy him here so he has some lovely sleeps in here!
