Oh my goodness I just realised it’s been 10 days since I did a post!!!!! (Edit: Ummm .... I just realised I can't count either .... 13 days ... lol !!!)
I hope you all had a super fabulous wonderful Christmas!! Was Santa good to you ;o)?? My DH and I decided this year to buy some accessories for our motorbike to make travelling more comfortable … but we haven’t even had a chance to try them out yet cos it hasn’t stopped raining!!! I’m not complaining though, there are people dealing with floods all over the place and we’ve been very lucky so far. But oh I do wish it would stop … bring on the blue skies!!!
These are a few of the lovely gifties I received from some very dear friends
These very dear friends and I also had a really fun apron swap and the person who made my gawjus apron was Jenny!!! Waddyathink??????? 
We had another Christmas celebration yesterday (27th). Tahlia (DD1) and her partner Luke arrived from UK on Christmas night … we wondered if they’d make it here at all with all the cancelled flights leading up to the Christmas break … but they DID (phew) :o)!!!! Oh how lovely it is to have all the kids here at once :o). Here’s our table full …… that’s me sitting between Tahlia and Luke ;o). What a fun day it was …
I’ve been working on a quilt for an old school-friend of Tahlia’s who is having her first baby – although I haven’t been able to even touch it for the past few days as we’ve been so busy. I’ll give you a look next time as hopefully I’ll have a bit more done by then. These are the pretties I’ve used for it …
I’ll be back soon …. ‘til then …….

Joy so happy for you that you spent the holidays with your family and it appears you all had a wonderful time with great food . The apron is sweet as well as your other goodies !
Hey Joy-Belle! Aaaawww ... we think YOU'RE cute too, not just the apron ... though it is rather swish! :0) So glad your family was able to all be together for Christmas ... the floods have stopped my parents from being able to come celebrate with us, but at least I know they're safe at home and not stuck on the side of the road. Had a giggle at your poor beloved cutting dessert! Tee! Hee! Hee! Love your gelati coloured fabrics too ... they look like fun and I can't wait to see what you turn them into. Enjoy the holiday season!! Bear Hugs! KRIS
Such wonderful goodies. Don't know how Jenny finds the time, but she certainly makes some beautiful things. The apron is adorable. Hope your rain ends soon. ~karen
It looks like it was a lovely celebration. Glad the kids could make it home despite the weather.
I think sewing took a back seat, as it should, for all of us this week.
It looks like you had a lovely holiday, even with too frozen desserts! I like the fabrics for the quilt, lucky baby!
What a lovely shot of you all and that cassatta looks just devine. as for the rain, well, you can stop blowing it our way now - thanks. the tanks are full and we have flooding around town but the sun is out now so I guess that's a bit of balance.
have a great day

Lovely to hear you had the bestest Christmas....love your gifties and giggled at your cassata!!!! LOL
My brother was due to visit for Chrissy but due to the floods he decided against it.....it seems it was a good call!...Roads are cut in about 9 places between his place and mine now!!!! Hopefully you'll get to use your motorbike comfies in the next week or so!
Have fun with the family......sugary hugs my sweet!
