Sneaky Christmas Pics

Well, I have survived my first week back at work! I even worked the entire 5 days this week as school was desperate for a relief teacher on a Grade 4/5 and they begged me to work on my "Sewing Friday". It was a bit daunting to start with as I havent taught above a 6 year old level for 8 months...but it soon came rushing back to me. Grade 4/5's are really just 6 year olds in bigger bodies!!!
I only have sneaky photos to share this week. I am frantically working on my Santa swap present, and have started making family Christmas presents. So, hope I dont give too much away!!!


Miss Milly guarding part of a very vibrant Christmas gift.


A very sweet stitchery for a very sweet neice!

Part of my Christmas Swap gift? Its coming along and hopefully will be finished by next week. I'm pretty sure my swap partner doesnt visit my blog so I should be safe to share!

Beautiful work, I love the stitchery! Milly is looking very cute too....Our Georgie had a very short hair cut this week and looks a bit like a skinned rabbit!

A busy week is an understatement! I really like all your projects. Did you buttonhole stitch in black by hand or by machine?

Youe've been busy again, Cathy. Love the stitchery ... think I recognise it as one in my long list of 'one day' projects. Your SSCS project is coming along well ... must make a start on mine, soon. Have a good week ... hope you get your 'Stitching Friday'.

Careful Miss Millie doesn't claim the quilt for her own! They're very different colours for you too. Nice one!
