Well dear Cuties, here is my last lot of goodies for my annual Christmas ladies luncheon.

These are lipstick/chapstick holders from Embroidery Garden (Reen's not Yoriko's site).

As my theme this year is 'Santa' these suited me down to the ground. I can't believe it's only about a month away! Where has this year flown to?

Love Chris

P.S. I did two at a time in my 5x7 hoop - except I left off the hole in the top section where you could put a ring through it.

Thanks Fatima, I can't wait to get the table set up. I do it two nights before hand and take lots of pictures from different angles with a flash. Then during the daytime I take normal pictures and no-one is allowed to touch it once it is all set up. Love Chris

Thanks so much Roxanne, yes I start early as I have such a busy life otherwise. I was only saying to Mum today I can now concentrate on finishing Cohen's woodland creature quilt and do a test dress for Delphi to see if we like it enough to have it as flower girl dresses. Love Chris

Now I get how driven you are! Most of us think it's about two months till Christmas. You think it's "only about a month away." Cute lipstick holders So now, on to table settings and food?

Thanks Betsey, don't forget I started making all of these things back in February this year!!

You have misunderstood me - in my post above I was referring to my luncheon it is a month away on the 7th December! Done everything else for the table. Love Chris

Thanks Vicki, they will look great on the table, I can't wait. I can't believe it's the 1st November tomorrow (Sunday). It's 6.42am Saturday morning here in Australia as I write this. I've been out for a very early morning walk for 40 minutes. It makes my day just begin in the right frame of mind. Love Chris

Thanks Jerrilyn, you know what it feels like then. My friends always look forward in anticipation to see what I've done. Besides me, Meganne is the only other one who does machine embroidery. Sue my best friend does beautiful patchwork, but not Machine Embroidery. Love Chris

Thanks Sonja, they take about an hour to stitch out, what with changing colours and placement of fabrics. I cut them all out first and change the pink of his lips to red as i thought it would stand out better. They are really stiff which is what you need for a lipstick holder etc. Love Chris
