About Me- Bird on the Border

My Photo
We have a wonderful son who has just married and I now have a wonderful daughter in law. So nice to have another girl in the family. My wonderful husband and I both work full time. We enjoy travelling ,going in our caravan, dining out and spending time with friends and visiting our children. Oh shouldn't forget "Tess" the spoilt black kelpie. I love anything country and Shabby Chic and I love patchwork and stitching and getting together with like minded ladies who love to do the same. I love catching up with friends over a cup of coffee , and the smell of biscuits cooking in the oven on a rainy day. I enjoy keeping in touch with friends I have met through blogging and sharing our sewing on line. I love going off on stitching retreats and quilting weekends with my quilting buddy Gail. And of course I love the birds in my garden. I also write the blog for our local quilt group Macintyre Quilters.

Christmas Wishes Come True

  My Dad has been really ill for the past 5 weeks but fantastic news today, he is almost well enough to come home. They told us today he will be home for Christmas. I am so happy and feel so blessed that he has been a great fighter and the medical staff have been so kind. ....Reason to celebrate. ....I didn't feel much like Christmas until we got that news. I thought I would share some of my house at Christmas.



My Danish corner


With traditional candles



My newly planted garden - just for Christmas .


Outside Charm



Can't possibly be without Rudolf


Lights on the tree 




My favourite- the  fire place filled with cellophane and lights with my santa collection on the mantle.





Its now time for the elves to get into gear and prepare for Christmas.
