A Quilt on the Bed

After many YEARS making this beautiful handmade quilt and storing it - I decided it was time to actually use it (I know! It should have been on the bed years ago)

The time has come to get the beautiful things out of the cupboards and drawers and boxes where they are so lovingly stored and to use them and enjoy them.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

To all my online friends - hope you have had / are having a wonderful Christmas with your families.

I have had the BEST day with my family!!!!

12 Weeks of Christmas - 8th Week

Kathy at Sew Happy House is hosting the 12 weeks of Christmas on her blog.

I think I have lost a few weeks! (sorry Kathy I've been sick)
I have missed the 6th week and the 7th week and now it is the 8th week - which means there are not many to go now.
You can see Kathy's post for the weeks I missed (Week 6 HERE and Week 7 HERE) and her current post for Week 8 HERE


Mel (One Crafty Mumma) has been making owl decorations by the dozen!

Here is one I have started making.  Just need to stitch now.
