Hi gals, I haven't been idle! It's school holidays here in Australia and I've been minding children and cleaning, cooking, ironing etc. the boring things!

The past 2 days I've been helping Amy clean out her garage as Steve is a hoarder and Amy had had enough! So the ladies to the rescue and we got it into shipshape in a couple of hours. Steve can put all his tools and bits and pieces in some great shelving he's made.

Today I finished off the last of the Sonia Showalter Snowflake Angels that are for the ladies at my annual Christmas luncheon this year. I've told you before the theme is Snowflakes, and I've already done the 8 tea towels with great snowflake designs on them. On another note I've actually made casserole covers but they don't have snowflakes on them, but are navy blue and white. The colours this year are Navy blue, white and silver. Should look very fresh when I get it all together.

We're off to the Hunter for the weekend to visit our dear friends John and Deirdre Colvin. John was our groomsman at our wedding back in 1972! They have a wonderful vineyard and home. The name of their winery is called Montvalley. Have a look at their website and you'll see their home. It's HUGE!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Love Chris

The lower 2 Snowflake Angels are still a bit damp, hence the colour difference.
