Since my last post I have been very busy. I have framed Sophia.
I have finished Isabella Johnstone and also framed her
I have nearly finished Harriet Burry and there is about another days stitching on her.
I have got this far on Hannah Lancaster and I am currently filling in the bricks on her house.
I have also made a few of these lovely patchwork cushions for the family. I saw these being made one Sunday afternoon when the boys all went to the Football (Soccer). I was able to watch a TV show that I don't normally watch as it isn't my DH's cup of tea and I saw these lovely cushions being made by hand. What intrigued me was that they were filled with unprocessed bran and scented oils. I have also added lavender to mine and I had added lavender oil to the mix. My spare room smells quite delightful at the moment lol.
For an Australian Summer today, it is quite cold. At 6 a.m. it was 5 degrees C in the Mountains and by the sky it looks as if it could snow. If it did it would only be a light dusting and probably wouldn't settle.
I hope you all have your Christmas preparations in hand. I currently have a boiled pudding bubbling away on the stove. It is always a major feat when I make one of these and you wouldn't believe the washing up. Oh boy lol.
If I don't post again, before Christmas, I hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope that Santa is good to you.
Merry Christmas.

You are an inspiration to us all!! Amazing work you do. Your samplers are gorgeous. Everytime I look at your blog, it makes me want to leave work immediately and start working on some of these beauties :) Exquisite framing. I wonder what your sampler wall looks like? You must have more then one, perhaps someday you will share that with all of us!!!!!
Congratulations, Sandra! Everything looks wonderful. I just got a few pieces framed too so please come by soon. Isn't it a great feeling when you can get your babies framed?
Merry Christmas!
Those samplers are absolutely beautiful Sandra. I honestly don't know which one I like the most. Okay, I like all of them! :o)
Love your pillows too - those will make sweet and wonderful smelling gifts!
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!!
Hello Sandra, when you do a post, you really inspire me. I mean REALLY, REALLY inspire me! Both framed pieces look fantastic. (I just picked up Sophia to do in 2011) and I promise (myself) that I'll finish my Harriet, too. I've saved your email about the "fix" for the house/window problem. Hannah is on my list, too.
I'm curious about the boiled pudding...what is in it?
Merry, merry Christmas to you!
Oh my gosh! Sandra, your samplers are exquisite. I need to learn how to frame... or, I should say, get over my framing mental block--I do know HOW to do it, I just prefer not to! ;) I especially love your Isabella. Hope it warms up for you soon! It's minus 6 here at the moment, which is frigid for Ireland--but it's our winter!! LOL
Wishing you and yours a blessed holiday season.
That is some wonderful stitching progress. So many lovely finishes.
I wish you and yours the merriest of Christmases!
Lovely framing and great progress on Hannah and Harriet.
I hope you've had a good Christmas
