The year is slowly winding down. All my xmas shopping (non food items) is done. Everything I can cook before hand has
been done (fruit cake, mince pies, white chocolate xmas rocky road, chocolate
apricot balls and cinnamon and ginger nut mix). I’m not stressing about xmas lunch, it is pretty much all
planned in my head and there will only be 7 of us for lunch so no big
deal. I read in the paper that
they expect it to be 27 on the big day …. as we have to have a hot lunch (MIL’s
rules not mine) I will at least survive the kitchen.
I’m off to the hairdressers after work today for the Christmas DO and nails buffed and polished, then off to
dinner with the quilting girls before getting up at the crack of dawn for a
flight to Melbourne for a work show and a spot of shopping.
I’m heading to Luccello on Friday for a look around and
apart from that have no plans for a couple of hours but I am hoping to find a
few stocking fillers in my travels.
There was no sewing for the girls this year apart from the
buttons that make the closures for these jar surrounds. The jars are full of homemade goodies
and the surrounds were one of the projects form the Artsy Christmas Class I did
recently. The bags have a few
different bits and pieces… like a brooch from curly pops shop and one of my
favourite summertime T2 teas, a few more goodies that I picked up at a couple
of markets that I went to recently.
I've scheduled this for the time we will be sitting down to tea so the girls get a surprise.

Very pretty gifts. You've managed a lot the last few weeks.
You are so organised ! I havent baked a thing , although my Christmas present shopping is all done.
Love those gifts for the girls.
Enjoy Melbourne (and hope you get some exciting shopping in while you're there !)
