Hello lovely bloggers,
I have given you a break from me for nearly a week after NaBloPoMo - aren't I kind? So, I have a few things to show and tell......
Firstly, my progress on my Shepherd's Bush JCS Christmas Ornie. It is going along really well, it is quite a complex design but it is shaping up really nicely. I have even made a few changes to make it more mine:
The other night, I had my Mother's group Christmas Dinner, we have all been friends since our first borns were babies - over 23 years now! We went to a fabulous gastropub called
Town Hall Hotel in Fitzroy, an inner city suburb of Melbourne. The food was fantastic!
On Sunday I wanted to do some Christmas baking to take to work, so I made some Linzer cookies with a new cookie cutter system which I had bought - they turned out beautifully!
The day before that I thought that I had better put up the christmas tree - so here are some photos of that process. DS2 actually got up early and helped me - and who says that 18 year old boys cannot get up before midday?

 |
| This is the earliest one I made |
 |
| Obviously I was in a hurry - look how bad the back is finished! |
 |
| I did get better at finishing but still a long way to go! |
Now, Furio and Milo think that the Xmas Tree is one giant cat toy. Milo has already eaten a fabric ornament and Furio knocked over the whole tree and decapitated the angel! See the poor Robin on the tree - look at the next pic to see what the cats are doing to it.

Have a great day or evening everyone. Off to do some Christmas shopping.
Hugs, Kaye xoxoxo
