It has been a busy year that has just flown soooo fast. As we get older the years seem a lot shorter…..or is it just my imagination.
The Christmas tree is up, all the loved decorations collected over the years are out on display, presents all done and now thinking about food. We are spending Christmas at my daughters this year, so not a lot of preparation on my part but we will be back home for New Year to celebrate with friends.
I have been busy finishing off those last little details on some of my Christmas gifts. I like to make presents for some special friends and family. My 9 year old granddaughter is getting a shoulder bag based on a pattern by Yoko Saito….but with a twist…no beautiful yarn dyed fabrics but teal colours which are her favourites at the moment. Mum is getting a new set of placemats and special friends are getting a sewing station for their lounge chairs based on a pattern from Arabesque Scissors. I made one for myself as well and find it really useful.
I am also making progress on my latest appliqué project. I have been working on this for a year now and have made it to the half way point…..a queen size quilt based on Yoko Saito’s Imaginary Garden Design…..all in my favourite shades of blue yarn dyed fabrics.
I hope you all have a great Christmas and New Year with people special to you.
Happy sewing everyone.
