Welcome 2012...let's hope it's a good year for everyone...
On the first day we thought we would have fish'nchips by the beach for dinner...
no stress...no cooking...all FUN, FUN, FUN!!!
We saw this amazing sandcastle...
And here are Ryan and Lidija standing next to it...
How cute is this...he is drawing a line from his house to ours'...
I put the zoomer on the camera as there was a boat in the background...we rarely see boats this size here...
No zoom...
I received a surprise gift from
Vicki wrapped in gorgeous paper and a gold ribbon...
Envelope...
and card...
And wrapped up in the paper was this Snowman pattern....
I hope to make it for Christmas in July this year...
and buttons also were included...
Thank you so much dear Vicki...it was just such a surprise to receive this!!!
Some new fat quarter fabric in my Christmas Stocking...
It's called Etchings by 3 Sisters for
Moda...
old fashioned writing on one...map of Parisian streets...just gorgeous...thank you Santa!!!
And then I had to go and get a metre of the paisley as well...
Check this one out...the Eiffel Tower, and all in soft chocolatey colours...sigh,
Then I thought I would write down my 'must-do's' for this year...
well, 3 pages later I was still writing LOL!!!
A panel I bought a few years ago...it's a Christmas one that JoJo will just love!!! When we went to the
Quilt Airing in Mendinee she said she would like a Christmas quilt on the wall...so let's see how I go...
Around Christmas time I saw this free pattern on the net by Anni Downes from
Hatched and Patched and that made the list as well...
Now I think I'll have to rethink it all, and I better get a move on!!!
