Well... there's not long until Christmas now! Are you ready for it? I'm almost there... just a few more pressies to buy.
Or have the festivities already begun for you?
We had all the family in the one spot this weekend to celebrate Christmas a week early. I had a really lovely time catching up with my sister and her to kiddly winks.
We spent some time at the park on Saturday.....
... and on Sunday we all went to Alma Park Zoo for the day...
... then the girls had fun getting some early presents from the rellies...
And I actually got a quick bit of sewing in over the weekend while everyone was spoiling Hannah with cuddles!!!
YAY ME!!!!!!
I refashioned this shirt into a dress for my niece...
I picked up this top at an Op Shop a while back now for only 50 cents! You can't even get a mixed bag of lollies for that much these days! I also picked up the happy flower buttons from a garage sale, where I got about 20 of them for $2.
So I feel that I've accomplished something now :)
I was starting to get a twitchy eye from lack of sewing!!!
So tell me.... are you ready for Christmas and the big fat man in the red suit?
I'm linking up with Jess from Diary of a SAHM for IBOT (I blog on Tuesdays) and a few other fantastic crafty blogs that can be found under the I Heart Link Parties tab at the top of this page.
