Celebrations

Yesterday was our Christmas breakup for my stitching group. Our gorgeous and generous friend Jacky was again our hostess and everything looked beautiful and very festive.
Jacky always decorates her tree with all her handmade ornaments and gifted ornaments from her friends for us to pop our pressies under.
Beautiful food...
and all low-cal of course! There are a myriad of lovely little gifties to bring home.
You may remember these...
Well I was making them for my dear friend Gaye. Here we are a couple of beauties amongst the blossoms lol!
Thank you Jacky for your friendship and hospitality again this year....beautiful girl xxx I love these ladies and we share so much together especially laughter.
BTW the beautiful handmade card at the beginning of my post was made by my friend Kay...so lovely!
*** A little oops!*** Yesterday's post featured some gorgeous stitching by Jenny in NZ and she in fact DOES have a lovely blog (senior moment on my part) and you can pop by and visit her HERE. Her blog is called Romany Quilting. I am so sorry about that Jenny x
The other celebration yesterday was our youngest Grandson has now finished Kindy and is off to "BIG" school in the new year. They had a lovely little graduation for them and I am biased but he looked very handsome in his garb.
They sang "Roar" and he is getting right into the actions of the tiger...
He is a real character and he won an award for being "An Awesome Storyteller" and he definitely is! Nobody loves to spin a good yarn quite like our Cooper ( in the Aussie tradition of course) He cracks us up!
That's it from me....thanks if you hung in until the end....I just cannot seem to do a short post!
I will leave you with some of Jacky's beautiful Hydrangeas which is no mean feat in Queensland.
Namaste and blessings,
Michelle xxx
