Christmas Wishes

This is what my bom

from the Christmas wishes

by Gail Pan Designs looks like

with a few extra ones.

I used a lovely stitchery design,

actually the same one on my previous

post of the poinsettias and just

embroidered it. The colors were

just right for the centre.

Some more just things.

We have just recently got new
neighbours and they have
3 dogs and this is Tonic our cat's
way of protecting herself from them,
goodness know why she is on
the fridge but it seems to be the
highest place in our house.
The dogs cannot get to her as
we have fences up but typical
cat thinking of taking care of
herself.































This is picture of a block for
Christmas at our local forum
at www.in2stitches.co.za





























Sorry this is not the right way up
but this in another member of
our Chicks sewing group's
stained glass block.

Visit in Windhoek

We went to visit daughter in
Windhoek on the 22nd August and
came back the 26th August, 2009.
It was cut short because of hubby
having Bells Palsy and had headaches.

This is Matthew building his lego
blocks and really concentrating very
hard.





















This is a shopping centre in
Windhoek called the Bougeanvilla
village I think. We had some lovely
pancakes there well it was a very
interesting combination of pancakes.
Also visited Jenny's crafts of course
and there is something of everything
for the crafter.




















This was on the way back between
Windhoek and the border and everything
is just flat, no real trees in site and the
sun coming up early morning. Most of the
time this is what one sees.

Busy with!!!!

This is how far I am with grandsons
John Deere Tractor, 3/4 nearly done.



















This is origami folding but
what is the name for the block?

This one has prairie points

This one has a cathedral window centre.

Completed.

This is now completed.
A gift for my best friend.
"I love quilts"

Snow!!!!

This is snow on the mountain range behind us.

It is the so love but it seems that it does not

come out so clear as I would have liked.

Just!!!!

Have had a busy week with very little
sewing, and this week it will be the same,
so much to do and so little time!!!
This is my lovely new fabric
that I have bought and
it is so lovely and bright.

This is a lovely delicate veld flower

that I found in our garden and as you

can see it just seems to come out

of the hard ground.

Choices no choices arggggghhh

Had so many choices but ended up with one.

I wanted to go to the Cape Town Quilting Guild meeting today but sadly could not as
it is too far and hubby wont let me drive there by myself.

I then wanted to go to a country show in a town nearby called Leipoldtville and hubby said I could go but could not find anyone to go with me.

I also wanted to do some stitching during the August stitch a long weekend but just did a bit
of that.
So hubby had to play in a bowling tournament (only the club) today and now I am alone and
have been stitching.

So there were no choices really for me but to stay at home and sew.

Christmas wishes

This is the 7th completed block
