They are all out and I am home alone, so it
was a perfect time for me to blog about Chrsitmas
From Cheryll my partner in
Mrs Martin's Christmas Angel Swap
I received these lovely lovely goodies
there were also chocolates, but some girlies who live here
from Leanne, who was my partner in the yahoo
group I am part of, again the girlies who live here
from Peg, who sent me these so I had something to open on Christmas day
as my SSCS gift was held up due to bad mail handling....
I sent to Anne-Heidi in Norway
her Christmas Day gift
and the decoration
from my dh and the girlies,
The Naked Chef cookbooks (I love Jamie Oliver)
and Andy Allen who won the last series of Masterchef
I ADORE my new winter hat, really I love it and it was
THE BEST present I received
Angry Birds 3DS game and pencil toppers
from my MIL and FIL
and from Santa
The complete BOM set of Butterfly Garden
by Leanne Beasley
as soon as I have mums quilt finished this is my next project.
Its lovely having mum and dad here, we have all eaten too much food,
drank alot of coffee, maybe drank a lot of alcohol, MAYBE I said ;)
we have just pottered around and done some touristy things, they are
currently at the Whale Museum with Em and Imogen, we have been
to Bega and shopped, the kids had Christmas money they needed to
spend. Dh has only worked today so he has been home too its been lovely.
No sewing has been done at all, not even at night, we have been
playing Canasta of an evening, which is alot of fun, but time
is ticking by too quickly and Monday will be here before we know it
I am going to have Dh take them to the airport and I know
mum and I will cry if I take them.....
great post Kate and what gorgeous presnts you received and sent in the swaps,isnt Peg just gorgeous,enjoy your gifts kate.xx
ReplyDeleteMiss Kate, what a lovely lot of goodies you received. So pleased that you have had a lovely time with your Mum and Dad. Christmas is such a special time with family without even having your Mum's illness in the background to think about.
ReplyDeleteTry not to cry too much when you say goodbye to them although what the heck I always cry when I say goodbye for any reason so go for it.
hugs
