Broken Rule means no present

Today Rhiannon broke the first rule of the christmas tree (don't touch) She know's the rules so she didn't get to open her present today (I will keep it until christmas day) But Isaac and I got to open ours in front of her..... I got a sholder bag and Isaac got a bigger hammer. He had fun beating Rhiannon with his present!!!!
Tomorrow evening we fly to brisbane so today when I am meant to be packing and cleaning I am tracing out the stitcheries on another quilt!!! I will never learn but I am going to get this done over the holidays. I have a few other little things to take as well and my hexis
So I better get to it and I have asked Santa for a Round Tuit for christmas. I hope I get one................
next time Geniene

Day 18 of advent

Today I got 3 fat quarters (niceeee) Rhiannon got Icecream bubble blowers (they were a big hit) and Isaac got more floor tiles these ones have animals. We had some fun making boxes out of them and Rhiannon came up with the idea of making them into a pinata which she hit with a fake flower. We all had a giggle it was pretty funny.
Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Went to Ebony's party today so the bubs were tired when we got home. Had the chance to start on their christmas stocking's... yeah I know only a week to go and I start a new project!!! They are only simple and I will have them finished tomorrow!!!
Till then G xxxx

Take care if your travelling

Day 16 of Advent

Rhiannon got a little giraffe, Isaac got a little dog and I got some Fairy embroidery scissors. Rhainnon told me that's what she was going to buy me for christmas... wonder what she'll get now??
sorry about the blurry pic
I finally played around with shirring elastic today and I tell you what I think it may be addictive!!! I made a skirt and two dresses. The skirt and one dress is for Rhiannon and I made a dress for her friend Ebony for her birthday tomorrow. they have matching dresses. I had to ring my backdoor neighbour at the shop to ask if they had elastic so I could do some more tomorrow!!! if you havn't tried it go do it......

Till tomorrow G
