Celebrations

 We enjoyed a wonderful High Tea at Parliament house last Saturday. It was our Friday night "Crazy Crafty Divas" and the Wednesday morning girls celebration. It was just lovely with lots of chat and delicious food. 

We always do Secret Santa and I was lucky to receive this great pot mitt and some very special teas and hot chocolate. Thanks Maree.

I made this pouch for my gift this year. It is a lovely pattern by Anni Downs and is in her new book.

Heather made this amazing ornament. She designed it and it is so beautiful. There were lots of other gorgeous gifts but I didn't get round to taking any more pictures.

Then, on Sunday, Fiona and David came to visit for afternoon tea and Fiona had made me this wonderful Shepherds Bush stocking. It is just amazing!

I made her this little cushion decoration along with some shortbread etc. 

Sue's gorgeous stocking

My friend Sue was able to get to Wednesday stitching this week as it is still school holidays in NSW. She was working on this delightful stocking for her newest little grandchild, Tex. She has made 4 different Shepherds Bush stockings already for her other precious grandies. Her lovely scissor keeper is in the photos too.

I have a few of these patterns in my cross stitch stash to do one day. Sadly, I am not too motivated to cross stitch anymore. Also sadly, I left my camera on the charger on Wednesday night and my night class had so much to show and tell. I do hope they bring it all again next week so I can share it here.
