Something else to show

Quite some time before Christmas, heck it was even the end of November I think, I was involved in an 'Ornament Exchange'. I was given the name of my secret giftee (is that what you would call them?) and thought long and hard. I decided that instead of an ornament for the tree, I would give her something that would keep on being used forever if wanted.

Remember this unholy mess?
Well the mess soon turned into this ...

You can't see it but there were pretty little crystals sewn into some of the panels.

You may remember during 2006, that sounds so long ago doesn't it? I made a zillion Christmas stockings for people (well ... a zillion is a slight exaggeration, but a heck of a lot). Last year these are the only two I made for gifts. And she loved them, which I was so pleased about.

Tomorrow I am heading down to Geelong to see my mum and then onto Melbourne to meet up with some friends, which I am immensely looking forward to. I need this girls weekend away I think, just to let loose and enjoy great company.

Thank goodness the cool change has arrived, I have been really flagging in this heat. Temps over 40 nearly every day has just about done me in (that's 104 F and over for my American friends). Mike finally went out and bought an air conditioner yesterday and the darn thing blew up today so back to the shop it went and we got our money back as they had sold completely out. Grrrrrrr.

Enjoy your weekend and I will be back to show you some digi scrapping and I'm sure some tales of the weekend.
