Its Finished

the table runner that is and is on the table right now! I am very happy with how it turned out.






and here is the finished centre bock of it, I used felt to make the berries, I was going to make YoYo's but I suck at making YoYo's I need YoYo lessons lol.





So today I decided while I waited for the real estate to come to do our inspection that I would cut the fabric for the tree skirt. This is what I had to deal with

Lucky I adore this ball of fluffy fur.

My 10 degree wedge ruler arrived today YIPPEE so I am set to do the tree skirt, need to have it done before Sunday as that is when the Christmas tree will go up, otherwise we have to wait until the following weekend.....

Best dash nearly time to get the girlie's from school then we have to make shepherds costume for the end of the year school concert, which are needed by tomorrow but we only found out about needing them yesterday, I went to the op shop spent $3:50 on 2 tablecloth's so we are set to make them this afternoon

Have a fabulous day :)

My helper

is getting to be a pest....

this is some of what I have had to deal with so far today while I quilt the table runner

when Henry was moved off the runner this was his next 'trick'

can't sleep on it then I'll watch very very closely!

and finally he has given up for now

obviously he realised that if he couldn't get on top under was just as good lol

he is currently asleep on some wadding!

I think I need to make him a lil quilt of his own

at least he doesn't stop me every 5 minutes asking for food, a drink, to play, to watch tv as the littlest girlie does and he doesn't ask questions HEAVEN lol

Have a great day :)

Table Runner

is being quilted today :)

this is what I did yesterday with my hangover lol

and a close up


the holly leaves have red berries but I need to get it quilted before I attach them

otherwise the littlest girlie and I the last item on the list for the big girlies and we picked ds up some shirts.

Opps gotta dash and collect the big girlies for dancing

will edit this post a bit later!

Sick

I am suffering tonight

suffering from

self inflicted illness...read to much alcohol last night

I felt great this morning, well enough to sew the table runner together

all was good until I ate bacon and eggs, which I requested lol

am in the bad books with dh, as we were invited to a bbq and I wouldn't go.

Girlies are exhausted I wonder if it has something to do with a 12:30am bedtime this morning

I am bad......

Will share a photo of the table runner tomorrow.

Did You Know

Irons don't bounce well

On Wednesday morning I was untangling the iron cord and for some unknown reason I pulled the cord, which in turned pulled the iron off the ironing board onto the awful sealed concrete floors we have, the iron then bounced around the floor before stopping at the door. This was the result

oops

So today it was iron shopping day quite sad really as the 'old' iron was only bought Late August.

Ta Da meet the non bouncing iron lol

Then I managed to get permanent marker on the bed runner, no idea HOW so a frantic visit to the LPS for some sympathy and the girls managed to get it out PHEW.

The Littlest girlie and I have been christmas shopping too, we are all done except for dh's present. YAY I do get to have 1 more shop though when I drive to Kalgoolie to collect gumdrops and grandpa from the airport in 3 weeks and 6 days. So exciting I will be able to have McDonalds for lunch LOL for the 2nd time in almost 9 months

Have a great day I plan on getting stuck into the table runner this weekend and back to the bed runner next week I need to find a store with a 10 degree wedge ruler so I can do the tree skirt, anyone have any ideas of an online store that DOES stock these rulers???

Tree Skirts and Table Runners

As I mentioned earlier I decided that we needed a tree skirt so I finally decided on a pattern and here is the fabric's I selected

then I thought maybe a festive table runner would be good hence this little pile

then I left the shop lol

and some machine quilting on the bed runner

Enjoy and thanks for visiting :)

Sorted

Christmas Presents for the girlies anyhow

1 pink scooter

1 purple scooter

1 pink malvern star bike for the littlest girlie whose current bike is way toooo small for her and whilst I speaking of the littlest girlie she is earning to ride her bike WITHOUT training wheels, when I asked her if she was sure about the no training wheels her answer was

'Well I am 5 now' lol

the bedrunner has quilted centres I need a solid day at the sewing machine and it will be done.

I decided that we need a tree skirt today, and I found one on the www so I am about to head to town the my LPS, the post office to send my SSCS off and to collect the girlies from school.

Have a fab day and I'll be back later with some pictures :)
