Ornament Swap

On Tuesday night the Material Girls had their Christmas break-up at a local Chinese restaurant. Each year we have a Christmas ornament swap. I made one of Rosalie Quinlan's Hearts of Christmas.




   

I was lucky enough to receive a lovely Stitchers Stocking made by Anne.
 

Love the star and all those rusty bells. Thank you Anne.
 

Just one more week of school before the Christmas/Summer holidays start. At the moment I'm caught up in a whirlwind of performances with my school choirs ... Community Carols tonight, Grade 6 Leaver's Assembly tomorrow, Nursing Homes and Apex Park singing on Tuesday, Early Childhood Christmas performance on Wednesday ... I think you get the picture! Lots of fun but I'll fall in a heap at the end of the week!
I'm really looking forward to catching up on my blog reading/commenting and completing some of my many unfinished projects in the holidays.

  4. I love your stitcher's stocking, especially the tape measure around the top. Only a true stitcher would embroider one of those. Perfect!

    Happy stitching,
