Beautiful Shops

Gail's Patchwork Emporium at Ballarat an amazing

shop.

Linda's Gum Valley Patchwork  in Victoria  is in the Great Ocean Road area near Timboon.  She has the most amazing quilt made of tiny hexies. Her big blue shop in the hills is lovely. 

Needless to say I bought some goodies at each shop I will post about later.

Great Ocean Road

For my overseas friends the Great Ocean Road is a very famous piece of our beautiful coastline located at the bottom of Australia in the state of Victoria .

It has been on my to do list for a long time so we hooked up our new caravan

and away we went. It was spectacular.

Happy New Year

           Happy New Year to all my Blogger Friends!

A Thoughtful Gift

My Secret Santa Nancy was kind enough to send a gift for my granddaughter. I mentioned it in my last post but here is a photo of her receiving it.

 This is what I sent Lynn as her  Secret Santa 

Thank you secret Santa Nancy

Thank you so much Nancy http://nancynearphiladelphia.blogspot.com.au for my beautiful pin wheel apron, the chocolates and the nail file and of course the gorgeous decoration.

Little Evelyn received her doll but I am sure she was looking for its's face...??  No doubt this is what you were going to tell me about. We have had a wonderful Christmas Day it was hot and sunny and we swam and ate and played tennis and cricket.

Merry Christmas

I

Merry Christmas to all .

Christmas Books

Eleventh hour sewing to finish off a Christmas book for someone to read under the Christmas tree or on  Poppy's lap.

It has been a tradition in my family to put a variety of Christmas story books under the Christmas tree leading up til Christmas Day The children love it and it also saves the Christmas Baubles on the tree...lol.  There's nothing like reading to little ones , it's truly quality time for adults and children.....It's never too early to start. Merry Christmas!
