Nearly done


This is the second last
block of "Breast of Friends"
I am nearly finished with the
last one and then to put the
blocks together. I will do the
quilting when winter comes
because it is just too hot to work
with such a lot of fabric and batting
in summer.

We went to see my Stepmom and
sister and family at Club Mykonos
near Langebaan and dont you think
this donkey named Chester is so cute.
I think he would have eaten those lovely
flowers if his guide was not around.
Another block for "Breast of Friends"
from the Homespun mag.



This is one of my Sri Lanka embroidery
blocks also nearly done, just have some
embroidery and beading to do.
made myself a bag from some lovely
fabric that Pamela from USA had sent
me some years ago. The handles of this
bag was also given to me and they
are very old.

Here is some of my Christmas Decor

I have this perpetual calender and
change it every month. Hmmm
need some more Christmas decorations for
it.



this is my miniture Christmas
tree and just love it. It fits so
comfortably onto of the bat
counter. Just need some lights now.
I also made a tree skirt for it this year.

This is my lounge light and
I have been stringing beads
and also made this Crystal
ball to hang here. Uhm
I see I need to do more beading
to make the crystals stand out
much more. It must look like
a snow covered light.
