A QUIET MORNING

 We are looking forward to a quiet morning.

AND RAIN.

OMG that would be wonderful, it would certainly help to ease the temperatures.

I plan on staying in bed for as long as possible.  I'm just so tired lately.

Once up, I will suss out a few jobs in the sewing room... I've got those cat runners to finish, then I want to start a special project for our lawyer.

He rang me on Friday night, just checking in on us!   What a lovely, lovely man.  Oh and he was excited to let me know he and his wife are expecting their third baby.  (3 babies, 3 and under)  He's a bit nervous. lol

So, I might just make them a cot quilt.  Cos well... how many lawyers do ya know who keep in touch with their clients?  

I am also going to make an Advent Calendar for next year,  I've never had one before.   I plan on making one, then putting fat quarters, and other small sewing things in it.  I told Bex my plans and she said she would put little surprises in it too.  So, something to look forward to ... in a year.  *smiles*

I lost a couple of days!  I was looking forward to marking the 2nd anniversary of moving into this home!  It was 2 years on the 5th of December.   I feel like we have been here much longer.  I really love this home, it is so perfect for Stew and me.  I can't imagine wanting to move again.  edit:  the date was the 5th!  Derrr.

Are you as happy in your current home?  Or do you wish for something else?

ABOVE:  This afternoon is our FBG Christmas Function.  So I shall have to wrap the little gift I'm taking to that, and be out of here by about 1.30 pm.  I'm sure we will all have a fabulous time, even if it does rain.

So, those are my plans for today.  What are yours?  Shopping?  Christmas preparations?  Holiday preparation? Sleeping in?  Gardening?  Beaching?  Well????

Catch ya later.

10.10 am:  And we have a little bit of drizzle.  Not enough to cool things down dammit.

And add to that, water on the driveway makes it look 99% better!  grrrrrr.  Bet they come tomorrow and wonder what we are on about, with it looking so much better.

ABOVE:  I was going to make a little 'Fat Bottomed Girl' mini runner for this FBG Christmas Event, but then thought, Nah.  It's Christmas, so I made a little Tree instead.

It's rather cute.  I hope whoever ends up with it likes it.

I have turned on our aircon.  But it keeps turning itself off.  Annoying thing.

1.35 pm:  And it's finally properly raining.  Yes!

And I'm almost ready to head off to the Xmas function.  Stew is staying home on his pat malone.  I bet he falls asleep in his lounge chair.

6 pm:  Well the FBG get together was lovely.  There were about 45 ladies present. I knew almost all of them, and it was lovely to see them again.

ABOVE:  'E's home was set in a country side area.  Her gardens were beautiful.

ABOVE: We played the game where you get allocated a number, then when it's your turn to choose a gift from the pile, you can 'steal' someone else's if you wish.  A gift can be stolen only 3 times.  I was thrilled that my gift ended up with a very dear friend, after being stolen a couple of times.

I didn't stay until the end as I wanted to have dinner with Stew and put me feet up!  I chose comfort at the end of the day.  *smiles*

It has finally cooled off a bit, thank god.  It's almost pleasant!

Usual evening here.  Dinner.  TV.  Bit of yakking, as ya do.   Now?  Early to bed, kinda tired.
