Demented December!

What a busy month December has been, shopping, eating, socialising with a smidgen of sewing mixed with sowing a new lawn, developing new gardens and painting the house!!! The heat is on to prepare for celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary in February with friends a family invited to an afternoon/evening  garden party.
I have only completed the one block for December, there are however more cut and prepared and these will become cushion covers on the outdoor furniture. (Deadline to finish for the party)


 
 
 
What a surprise on Christmas Eve when the mail arrived; a parcel from Calico Cat Fabrics! For my prize I chose three charm packs, some Benartex Fossil Fern precuts and some Darlene Zimmerman Hints of Prints. A huge thank you to Sandy at Upstairs Hobby Room.
 
Happy New Year to everybody, may 2016 be peaceful and bring you all that you desire.

      Thanks Sandy. The pinwheel look was a little accidental, I was trying for a different look but the whole thing took on a life of its own and so I just went along for the ride!! LOL
