Christmas morning saw me opening my gift from Gina in Wales and it was well worth the wait. I received this lovely table runner designed by her daughter Gemma(I found this quite amazing as we are worlds apart and both have daughters called Gemma). Along with the table runner I got some English quilting mags, a lovely calender and some fabric. Not in the picture is the candle which I had burning all day and by evening the house was filled with the most beautiful smell all Gemma & Lucas' friends commented on it.
Thank you Gina for my lovely gift.
Thank you Gina for my lovely gift.
The day that was.
Santa and his helper.
After lunch saw us playing Boule.
Tony who always plays to win no matter what measuring distances between balls.
Obviously Gemma thought she had won this one.
These innocent little whistles saw me with pains in my stomach from laughing and mascara running down my face also from tears of laughter. They came in our crackers and were so much fun. They are all numbered and you get music sheets to play tunes. To say the very least I am a much better stitcher than I am a musician. Lucas thought we could practice and next year do carols on the circuit LOL. I can assure you it will take a lot of practice.
A late finish gift.
I am a real fan of Anni's.
I was pleased with my felting and dying efforts after a quick trip to Amandas for some black dye to get my red darker.

It was backyard cricket for us!.....very competitive (as always!)...LOL....love your late finish....my late finish was a batch of shortbread biscuits....! back to stitching some time next week...! Looks like you had a wonderful day.....as was ours...Happy New Year!!
rained all day - the best present without flooding so no criket here even though my boy wanted to go out he has been sick so no cricket for us...........going to have a snooze now and maybe pull the stitching out or get some posts organised............
That looked like fun. I am cooking my Turkey today as MIL insists on having christmas at her place and I feel like I have missed out on the cooking side of it. Excellent Red by the way.
Lovely tablerunner and what fun, to see your family having such a good time!
Your felt project looks very pretty!

looks like sooo much fun , hard to get my head around Santa in the sun -- hilarious :-)
It sounds like you all had a wonderful time - but like Lisa in the comment above (who only lives about 2 miles from me!) I also can't get my head round the idea of Santa in the sunshine! Especially as we have been treated to a rare White Christmas this year!
