Just!!!!

This is one of my 6 placemats

that I am nearly finished with

and took me 2 years to complete.

Maybe it was just not my color

theme or something. Well I have

been working to get all my ufo's completed

and now have got to these.

This is a railroad that runs from

Saldanah on the West Coast through

to Kathu in the Northern Cape. It just

transports goods. We went to a small

town called Strandfontein on Christmas day

to see how it has grown, we have not been

there for ages, it has now become a small

seaside town but sadly only busy around

the December holidays so there are not many

permanent people living there.

I am flying!!!

Bye everyone

wow now spiderman

is high up in the air.

Christmas items!!!

This is my Christmas card holder
that was done by our group
"The Crafting Chatting Chick"

This is Jesse holding her item.

Here are 4 of the 6 Chicks at

our Christmas tea at the local

coffee shop "Emile's"

This is my peg bag that I completed yesterday.

From one of the Australian Quilting magazines.

Do you see my snail????

This is angels I made that I found

on the site of Australian Magazines

forum. Made 1 for each Chick.

Here are the four of six Chicks who

made it to the Christmas tea.

Christmas decorating started!!!

I have started with my
Christmas decorating and here is
what I have done so far. I like to take
things slow and enjoy it.











This is my angel that I made
last year and she hangs above the
mirror in the entrance.











This is my four pillow covers I made
also last year and made the quilt on the
back of the couch two years ago.












This is the light in my lounge and just
had to hang the bubbles with ribbons there
I saw something simular but with bigger
baubles in a local yummy shop by the name
of Emile's. He decorates his shop different every
year and I have gone every year to see the display.










This is my perpetual calender and als
gets the Christmas treat.

Also have Raggedy Ann and her Christmas tree.

Sorry about the pic not being very clear but

it is the best one. See my lovely gollywogs at the bottom,

well you can just see their eyes. My favorite dolls always.

Then I have my Christmas wallhanging and put it up every year

but still not completed, but it has to be up.

Completed jipeeeeeee!!!!!!

Finished at Last !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Parts of this quilt comes from a
great magazine "The Australian
Patchwork & Quilting magazine"
It is in Volume 11 no 8 "Calling all Angels"
by Keryn Beischer and I just
loved it from the minute I saw it.
I have changed it a lot but as you
can see I used lots of the blocks
from that pattern.










This is the back of my quilt
sorry that the color did not come out
clearly but you can see the quilting
which was done by hand with Coats
no 8 crochet cotton.










This is the centre block











This is one of the side panels and found
these lovely star beads at a local shop here
in this small town of ours. cant believe it!!!











And here is the complete quilt and on my bed
and our cat Chichi is testing to see if it feels
good enough to sleep on.

Matthews new friend the chameleon

This is Matthew's new friend

and it has already bit him

on the chin.

This colored chappie

( my hubby calls them that)

then decided to leave as

it was a bit too rough living

with a kid with hair that is too short, bad haircut.

X stitch project completed

This is a cross stitch that I have completed

today. It came out so cute with the quilted edge

with fabric that I have received from Pamela in

USA.
