hello sweety

I couldnt resist that!
had to drag my sad snuffly self to the discount place to get the village hall supplies--yes- we eat a lot of sweeties in the fens, well I do anyway.....
came back from brilliant holiday- thankyou  centerparcs......
and was attacked by the snots- again...
so no blogging or stitching
well, only a bit.

been watching teeshas circus on you tube and had to do another of those wonderful parcel quilty things again, remember last years ever growing bookcover?
this time I want a funky wild colourfull thingy for the table as its a bit plain- and Iv had to put the christmas thingy away-- shame- I really liked it-had reideers on it....

so I have to make a series of small parcel things- I think of them as cloth ravioli[food again, hows the diet tina?]
every ones differand and they all require SEQUINS yeahhh  and BEADS  and shiny threads and stuff

I am trying to be enthusiastic but I feel sooo poorly.
ps annabelleserendipity I havny forgoten your  gift

I am off to have a nice smelly bath.....night night....

yay! crimbo is here....

I would like to wish everyone a big merry Christmas, and thank you to everyone that reads my blog all year, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
Lets do lots of interesting things next year,lets do swap a postcard and lets have a bloggers picnic and lets of fun and keep on blogging!

one more sleep till the big fat bloke comes down your chimney and,........



Its almost here and we are all busy, having a making day,the three littlest people have been practising their foot pedal- needle up-needle down skills on these little snowmen, a very thought full gift from the quilters guild.



Mr Bear desperately needed a poncho for when he goes camping with the cubs[apparently,I have to make some miniature badges]
and so did little dotty bear,



meanwhile the taller short people' set to and did some baking,they are getting quite good at it.
which is just as well
as they have baked every day this week- and every day every scrap has been eaten,

 I had intended to show you a lot more stuff but blogger is refusing to load anything more up, so goodbye for now and have a lovely Christmas........Tina

just a quickie...



still, wrapping, and coughing ,but tonight I have been binding  a quilt for the smallest pink fairy in the house,
its lovely,with little ballerinas all over it and the tiniest delicate quilting around each figure and a lovely snugly brushed cotton on the back -did I make it?
I wish I did, but no.     Trudi from quilts prolifically made it for her smallest fairy, but shes not so small anymore and shes given it to me
all I have to do is bind it, what a lovely gift- makes me wish  I was 8 years old again,
thank you Trudi.
And whilst I stitch, I will watch Bad Santa, ooh, hes a very bad Santa..



and the winners are....



the partys over.....
and the winners are
thearica
plumcox and
annabelle serendipity...



As you can see ,I have added some stitch and stuff, hope you like them..
and whilst I was sewing,
and coughing and sneezing.......

The short fairies in the house made these.

Funny how some height challenged people can become so helpfull the week before christmas.



do you like my posh table runner?
one day I will make my own but right now I like the restraint and uniformity of this.



HA! like I even know what that means.....
bye for now- off to cough...

blog-hop party!!!!!!
