Hello

I'm still here sorry I have been absent from this space.  Tonight I made myself sit down and answer emails that have been waiting patiently a little too long, still one very overdue one to go.  There has been lots of making and shopping done, wrapping and Christmas cards and presents have now all been posted. There is still a list of to do's but that's less now so I can see that light at the end of the tunnel.
So here's what I've been up to, making and posting off these cards as well as these.
Finishing off one of the two babushka dolls I sewed up last week, the other is waiting for me to fill.

Making this for one of my hubby's relatives as a family gift.  I first saw the idea here and then here on Emma's blog.
And enjoying the new visitors that have taken up residence in our tree up the back yard, three tawny frogmouthed owls.

I hope that you are all enjoying the holidays and that things aren't too frantic. ♥

    They all look so gorgeous Catherine!! So much goodness there. I really do love handmade pressies! We had a family of tawny frogmouths take up residence in our neighbours tree which we got a very good view of for a number of weeks until the baby was big enough to fly and we have not seen them since. The kids loved it!

    brilliant idea for the "just add icecream" - might need to have that one on standby for birthdays !
