A Christmas Wish Catch-Up

Not sure where the last week went, but it is Friday again so about time I did a blog post.
Last weekend, while watching shows such as Bergerac and Hetty Wainthropp Investigates on UK TV, I spent some time catching up on my A Christmas Wish blocks.







As you can see, I wasn't alone when TRYING to take these photos!



With all the rain we've had lately, the lounge room is looking like a Chinese laundry!. Oliver has spent a lot of time hanging out here.


What a pretty boy!



When Molly saw I had the camera out she wanted to 'play' too. However she was NOT at all cooperative .... this was the best I got of her!



Hope to do some sewing tomorrow. It seems like months since I used the sewing machine and I feel like a little break from all the handstitching I've been doing.
