Shepherd's Bush Christmas Stocking

Just before Christmas I finished the Thomas Stocking by Shepherd's Bush for my little ones first Christmas.

I loved this project and I am very pleased with the results. I now want to make one for my husband and for me.

Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you had a lovely day. I have come up for breath following the festivities on both Christmas and boxing day.
We celebrated Christmas at our house this year with the immediate family as it was our first Christmas in our own house. I now feel truly grown up.
It was a great day. A big thank-you to all the lovelies that assisted us to put on the Aussie spread and with the running of the day. You guys made the day a breeze. It was such a pleasure to have Christmas at our house.
Here are the Ginger Bread Houses of 2010.

Christmas Time

I am beginning to get into the festive mood. I have been so busy recently and have had limited craft time. I am suffering from severe withdrawal from my craft addiction.
Yesterday I spent the whole day with a very special friend and we decorated our 2010 gingerbread houses. Mine is in the Hansel and Gretel style and hers is a 4 building masterpiece.
I have yet to take photos of these.
I was looking back through my old photos and found pictures of the 2008 gingerbread house that my friend and I made together. This was before I started my blog so I thought I would share the photos of that gingerbread house with you today.
For our first attempt at a gingerbread house I think we did a mighty fine job.
I hope to share photos of our 2010 gingerbread houses soon.

Pin Cushions With A Twist!

Hello Little Birdie,

I have been making a lot of pin cushions recently. I find them a quick and rewarding small project. I also love having a basket full of them so I can give them away to my guests. I let them choose their favourite. I like to guess which one I think they will chose, I am usually wrong. I made these three small pin cushions into Christmas decorations. I think that they look really cute.
