Jingle Bells and Skating Elves!

o what a lovely morning!

the spirit of Christmas is sneaking

into some of the most hardened of hearts ...

there are whispered conversations

where treats and surprises are planned!

the small and the curious are trying to peek

and asking too many questions is banned!

i've been busy already today

up at the crack of dawn,

taking my brother to the train station

and reminding him to take my presents

to family on the other side of the ditch...

to the land of the long white cloud!

i called in at macca's for coffee

and got sewing as soon as could be!

i thought i'd finish off my Christmas cushion...

a charm square front

'12 days of Christmas' by kate spain...

just all the aqua ones!

...adding jingle bells to Christmas elves!

...some georgeous rich red rosey fabric

given to me from miss b

for the back.

and this sweet cushion

will make some little corner of my house

sing 'fa la la la' and 'jingle bells'

on what would have been 'silent night' s!!!

i hope you've had a tiny bit of time to spare

to finish off  little bits of Christmassy fun

 here and there...
