Dear Cuties, I've had a nice day at home, cleaning, ironing, sewing, whilst the Tilers did the Bathroom and Toilet floors. They will be back Monday to do the walls. Hopefully the fit-out will be before the weekend as we have Ben's boys here next Thursday and Friday for a sleepover.

Ha ha ha! I can't believe it's only 3 weeks away. We also finish our daylight saving on Easter Sunday 1st April. It's so dark here in the mornings when I go for my walk, so I can't wait.

Thanks Kim, well each year I try to do some sort of Christmas themed sewing project. As I'm a nutter for Santas, this was ideal. It's worked out about 20 inches square. Each little Santa was a 4x4 and I just made it on a piece of white fabric that I cut at 6 1/2 inch square. Love Chris

Thanks so much Caroline, that's for sure! More relaxing too! Love Chris

Thanks Betsey, I wanted to bring the stars out as each Santa has a star in it and I was fortunate enough when I was at Spotlight last year I saw a pack of fat quarters in reds! The star fabric was a piece in it! So it matched perfectly. Love Chris
