Today was another super busy day at Shop Handmade & now it's closed for the year. Big shout out to Rachel & Julie who i love & run the most beautiful Shop in Canberra, no THE WORLD!!
Last night, in my spare time, i threw a party for a dozen 9 year olds, just a movie kind of thing - we watched Goonies & Gremlins, ah, the 80's!! Lots of fun, food & Christmas themed party favours, like reindeer food!! Just to confirm i'm completely nuts, i collected 6 of the party goers on my way home from Shop. It was actually really lovely, i'm used to having a car load of children & the road kill (mainly kangaroos) on the 25km trip from the city kept them entertained!!
So now it's time to put my feet up (or into a soak) & cruise into Christmas, everything wrapped/ posted/ delivered & purchased, with tonight's Farmer's Market putting the finishing touches on our Christmas long weekend menu.
My last patchwork quilt for the year was collected yesterday, another bohemian style one, truly a favourite colour combination of mine now.
. . . bad lighting, sorry, i finished at 2a.m. . . .
clash of colours, patterns & styles in 196 squares of patchworky goodness!!
Last minute deliveries include a donation of pashimas to HeadsUp, a Breast Cancer charity . . .
Sue from HeadsUp at Calvery Hospital in Canberra teaches ladies how to style pashminas & silk scarves while dealing with hair loss during chemotherapy. Love you Sue, you're awesome!!
Now it's 'Christmas Eve' Eve . . . we might start nibbling on our Handmade Sweet Delights GingerBreadHouse (number 2) . . .
& decide where to spread the Reindeer Food??
I have visions of a big family platter of Christmas lunch leftovers on Christmas Night . . .
so i can enjoy it as much as i do at Poacher's Pantry.
Tomorrow i'll repot our plants in the Terrariums . . .
before i collapse on the floor with these reindeer.
So there you have it, we're rolling down the hill into Christmas now. I'm cracking open the Highland Habitat foot soak now & taking half an hour to myself in the bathroom.
Hey, don't forget my giveaways - movie tickets to see Tangled & lifestyle books from IKEA. Love Posie
