Christmas Mail.

I had some Christmas splurges on fabric arrive that I realized I hadn't blogged. I just have to post something to stop seeing myself glaring down at me from the last post!

I got these few meters of some favorite basic prints from Cow Lane Patchwork who were sadly going out of business. I say sadly cause it is sad to see an Australian fabric shop go out of business. But when you see how strong the Aussie dollar is and the fantastic choice online, well....

And these goodies from here. What was I saying about the Aussie dollar being so great? It is so hard to resist! Bit of Kaffe inspiration, 40 charm squares to add to the collect of Kaffe charms I am collection for what reason I don't know yet. They stuffed up in my order though, I was supposed to get 4 of the Santorini charm square packs but only one arrived in my parcel. So a quick email was sent and the other 3 arrived last week.......

And these groovy bucket hats were waiting for us when we got back from Rotto earlier this week. AJ made them for the girls, they love wearing them in the pool as they are lightweight, easy to squeeze out the water and put back on the head, they are great! Thanks AJ!!!

Love the fabrics you got! I am so envious of your beach and swimming pictures on your last few posts. Where I am it hasn't been above the freezing point in over 2 weeks and snow is piled as high as my waist. Crazy! It is one thing to know in my head that we have opposite seasons, but quite another to see it in pictures. It is a bit surreal to think that your kids are swimming now given what I see out my window. Nonetheless, they look so cute in those bucket hats! I'm sad to not be in your group this round of DQS, they've given me a new swap mama this time.

Gorgeous fabrics, gorgeous girls. Looks like a great holiday at Rotto... not sure about the Friday photos - brave woman! Still, what an interesting idea... I've just updated my photo on my blog - a lot different to a few years ago! It's good to see who we are, not who we were - now enough mirror gazing and back to sewing!! Ha Ha

Hugs - Shari

Oh, those are beautiful fabrics -- will you have the heart to cut into them? I wouldn't blame you if you just put them on a shelf and looked at them every once in a while...

Great fabrics and bucket hats! Love the happy, happy little swimmers!
