It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas

In the City.  Christmas Tree in Martin Place


Tree in Queen Victoria Building


Strand Arcade all decked out in lights and decorations


One of the shopping arcades


A wallhanging outside my front door


My Christmas shopping has been completed,  all wrapped,  bagged and under the tree


Two placemats were sewn during the week for my daughter-in-laws parents.   They are avid birdwatchers.


The 5 ordered pot holders have been finished and delivered.


This coming week sees a few Christmas lunches with friends happening and only venturing to the shops for essential items as the shopping centres are becoming extremely busy with trying to find carparking  a headache.

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

Hospital Auxiliary sewing and other bits and pieces

During the week two items on the "to do list before Christmas" were ticked off.    Priority was given to 3 small dresses and 6 bibs that were sewn for the December hospital stall.



This audiobook was playing alongside the sewing machine.


I had an order come in during the week for 5 pot holders.   Fabrics have been decided upon....now to sew them up.
 

I had a few spare minutes this morning and decided to give the sewing machine a Christmas clean.  Well not before time by the look of this


After 10 minutes it was looking brand new again.


Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all
