X-mas Season

Ok, I know it may seem to early to have the big man's graphic's up, after all we don't have Mr. Turkey to dinner for four more days.

However,

it has been decided that we will make the 2,500 (one way) mile journey to the sunny state of California for the holiday season.

I am of mixed reaction,

I will love seeing my friends that I made when we lived there for seven years, but I will also miss home for the holidays. You know the one where I do not have to do anything but stay in my jammies all day if I want. (HAHAHA)

Also, my DH has decided that the drive would be too much for his bones,

(wait it is his family we need to see in California)

So it looks like just myself and the three youngest will go alone, of course one of those youngest will share in the driving with me, so that should help.

Postal Delivery

Today I received this

My New Friend and partner from across the Deep Blue Sea

She thought so much of me to send me things I could really use well. I can't wait to use the fabric. I have been thinking I needed more solid christmas fabric to combine with my old and come up with a new christmas project to work on.

I had told Vanessa that I would love to have something unique to her country and she more then came through with the book The Red Centre by Steve Parish. A collection of beautiful images celebrating Australia's Red Centre.
