FNWF and Other Bits

Our last visit with Cheryll for the year. It is a very nice thing to know others are stitching along with you all over the country and in other countries as well. What did I get up to? Well...
I had finished off the stitcheries on my Tiny Teacup Teddies earlier in the week....

 I had long ago selected some gorgeous fabric called "Aviary" by 3 Sisters for Moda for the frame around the hexie stitcheries. It is a shame that you only get to see a smidge but it is so pretty and my little bears deserve "pretty" after waiting for so long to be finished. 

I had started them but worked until the wee hours last night until they were all framed....

I have chosen the cream in the same range to be the plainish centre for the table mat. I was really happy that I got them all done and that I can now stitch them all together. Before I began to stitch last night I finished off a little ornie for a friend....she doesn't blog so I can show you....she loves white and gold Angels and has a dedicated tree. I always love to add to it each year if I can...

Speaking of friends I recieved some very cute mail from my lovely friend Liz Village Quilters. Liz knows I have a thing for very cute gingies....

Thank you so much Liz, he is adorable....and I might add he is very happy with his other friends on my Blogging Friends tree....

Blogging friend Christine from Macdonald's Patch is completely responsible for my Blogging Friend's tree as I asked her permission to completely STEAL her idea and being the generous soul she is she said yes...so that is how I now enjoy this tree of friendship every year...thanks Christine x

One of my favourite magazines to curl up with is Australian Country Style and I have enjoyed it for many years. Helps soothe the "country" in the soul of this surbanite. I always look forward to the December issue to see what gorgeous photos and Christmas decorating with a very Aussie flavour they have on offer. I just had to share the cover this year.....gorgeous!

That's little Honey adopted by a loving family after her Mother was hit by a car. They are hoping to release her when she is older....just makes me happy to look at it. How about you?
I thought I would leave you with a few more of my decos....a view from a favourite chair.

I wish you all a lovely weekend. I have a few little odd jobs need doing and then I am off for a visit to see what everyone got up too stitching wise last night. Thank you Cheryll for hosting us even when you were sailing the seven seas and tripping here and there. I hope we didn't leave to many crumbs and threads under the mats for you to find xxx

Namaste and Blessings,
