Almost Done!!!

Second last round is on!!!

Week 52!

Wow!  I got them done tonight.  It was too hot to go to bed!  So I sewed.

The last 8 squares are done!!!

Bye Douglas and Maggie

Gee, where did the time go? It's time for our little friends to leave already!  It's been quite a joy this time seeing them here.  The boys have loved them visiting again, They haven't been too much trouble & made too much mess for us.

Day 21
Hmmm...  wrapping up the TV.  Well that didn't impress anyone much but they'll survive!  lol

Day 22

I was so excited.  We got out new kitchen stools.  I got to pick them up & assemble them the day before.  I guess it is kind of fitting that Doug & Maggie wrapped them as they are our Christmas present to each other.  :-)   

Day 23

A game of chess!  Fancy that.  It's been personalised.  Oh it is very cute.  Definitely a favourite.  BJ thought it was cool.  It's his game.  

Day 24

Wow, the month has past.  Douglas & Maggie will leave tonight.  They left a couple of cute things.  They put a photo in some Christmas snowglobes for the boys.  They will love those all year.  & a Santa music box which is pretty.  A nice addition to our Christmas ornament collection too.  Lovely. 

It's been lovely having them to stay again.  Can't believe it is time for them to go already!  

Mountain Ranges

The borders are on the way...  just have to finish off some of the sewing.

Another Crossed Off

I had been procrastinating over this one.  Working on it in dribs & drabs.  Crazy me got it done inbetween all the running around at last so it could be gifted.  Done so suddenly I had gifted it without getting a photo first!  lol  I wasn't entirely happy with it & the fabrics in it but couldn't find anything else I liked better so went with it & well, it's not so bad after all.

Week 51!!!

Oh this is getting a wee bit exciting now.  Totally up to date.  Excuse the crazy looking chook!  lol

Elf Fun Continues

Day 16

Seems Douglas & Maggie have been taking pictures around the house with the boys camera.  Pictures on each of our beds & with their toys.  He stuck one set on the wall & the other was sitting on the table.  

Day 17

Far out, now he's getting rough.  Bringing a chainsaw inside is really pushing it.  Fancy chopping down our tree!!!  

Day 18
Ok Douglas, we get the hint.  You want us to make gingerbread biscuits.  Thanks for that.  Like I don't have enough to do!!!

So we did of course!!!  I also made a batch of lemon cordial, lemon slice & marshmallows.  But that can all wait until the next day before I do anything further...  

Day 19

Awww...  Douglas & Maggie gave me a hand this time.  They got the tray of marshmallow out of the fridge & cut them into Christmas tree shapes & coated them with green!  That's a big help as that was one less job for Monday...  Christmas party food is ready to go.  

Day 20
Douglas & Maggie made the boys lunches.  Sounds like it was really exciting.  I heard later that they had put some treats in the lunch box, made wraps, decorated a gingerbread cooker from the other day, put in new things, wrapped the box in Christmas paper, wrapped the apples in each, they even made jelly & wrapped the jelly up.  All that is hiding inside their bag here.  How fun are Doug & Maggie!!!
