Sadly we have discovered Lavender gives me bad headaches if I am in the same room as it for any length of time..so we have stored lavender items in tubs that house items that  just need to be stored…

A very quiet Christmas for us this year, we did enjoy a couple of days sth before Christmas and that was  excellent  will post some pics nxt post..

Hope you all are having a safe festive season,

Cheers Vickie

Hi Vickie,
I love this SSCS swap Chookyblue hosts every year and the amazing gifts I've received from all the Aussie girls that participate.
I loved the little ornament you made me and hung that right up after I opened the package.

Your gift has teased me since I opened the outer package and saw that darling koala Christmas fabric you wrapped it in! I love getting fabric unique to other countries and have a special place in my stash for it. Yours is the first Christmas fabric I've received.

The bags are delightful - The pleats are so unique. I can't wait to start using them. In fact, I think I'll use them to take my "necessaries" to the hospital for my stay. The smaller one will hold a couple of books to read quite nicely. And my girlfriends are going to be very jealous when they see them.

Can't wait to try the stitcheries, they are so cute, and I love the pattern. I'll be saving that one until after I recover from my surgery on Jan 10th.

You've made my Christmas extra special with all your wonderful prezzies. Thank you so much.

Hugs,
Sharon
