A Christmas Tour of Our Home.

After reading Kate's blog where she took us for a tour  of her lovely home. I thought , what a nice idea . 

So I will give you a tour of mine. Bernie usually changes the blocks around to spell all sorts of crazy things that seems to have become a tradition in our house.

No it's not Christmas .. just left overs from the the 'tree decorating party".. have one every year so much better than doing it on your own when you are "empty nesters "..

Go from the kitchen to the dining room..new candle lights... a lovely gift from one of my friends ( and one of the tree decorators.)

Go the other way and the family room has a little more Christmas...kids corner.

From the dining room. Makes me feel like I am having a white Christmas when I look here.

Looking to the lounge room

Our tree

A little touch of Denmark because it holds a special place in  my heart.

 And that is it... Hope you enjoyed visiting me this Christmas. 

December

I love Christmas ...Family... cooking... get togethers.....and rain.....

My niece and great niece ...it is so wonderful to have little people in our lives.

My beautiful granddaughter ... camping....and enjoying the rain ....even though the rest of the campers probably don't want it. Something about kids and rain they just don't care....

Bernie's been making pesto...it is pretty good I must add.

I love Christmas....

So Dry

You know those stories that go around that make our overseas friends think kangaroos hop down the street in Australia. Well yesterday that happened to me!

A mob of Kangaroos have moved into town onto a spare block I drive past to go to school. One was actually hopping down the street yesterday. Today I stopped and tried to take a photo with my phone.  Not bad for an iPhone. For you Denise, Grethe , Satu and Isabelle

A new project

At the moment I am working on this project in wool.

SSCS 2014

My sewing is finished and my Christmas parcel is on its way .....   Hope my blogger likes  it.  

A quilt for Caleb

A lady put me onto this product . It is truly amazing this rids me of safety pins forever. Had to get Mr B

to help me, even though he said he's not really into sewing. This little quilt is for our Niece's son Caleb.

Today we Remember

 

Today we remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for us to be free. 

Today I also give thought to all those returned soldiers, their families and their daily struggles and hope their lives are  hopeful and happy. 

I also give thanks and support  to the men and women currently serving.  
( for you Clint , Carla and Corey and all of your fellow soldiers)
