Ladies Sewing Circle Christmas Party
This is what occurred last Tuesday at my Ladies Sewing Circle Christmas Party. It began with us doing a little stitching (of our own), and placing our Secret Santa gifts in a big bucket. We then excitedly waited for morning tea which included a cuppa (of course) and some yummy treats (snack packs of crisps and individually wrapped snowballs - that's marshmallows coated with chocolate and coconut). This was done this way in consideration for Covid restrictions of sharing food.
The kit is for a pin wheel, where you stick your pins around the edge of like a round 'sandwich' thing with embroidered top and bottom - this will be what I take with me to take on our trip to far north Queensland for Christmas. Oh I forgot to mention that there was also a little snack bag with chocolates in it too!! Got to have the chocolates!

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas
Well here we are, it is the beginning of Summer as well as time to start preparing for the Christmas season.
I found a container of Bailey's Truffles at the supermarket - of course I purchased it, and then had the thought of wondering if I could make some. So I had a look through google the other day and came across a recipe for Bailey's White Chocolate Tim Tam Cheesebake balls, and .... oh yummmmm!
Here is the link of where the recipe is that I used:

Mind you, mine don't look as classy as in the photo on the recipe, but they sure taste good.
Whilst doing the washing last weekend, I decided I would take down the small curtain in my craft room, it needed a freshen up, so off it went to the washing machine, however, I did not put it back up when it was dry and ironed. I decided to use 2 fat quarters to create something special for my craft room. Just couldn't help myself - here is 'Santa's Workshop!
Still got long way to go to learn how to use it properly, but I am learning.
For now though, I must get back to my craft room and continue on with some 'Secret Santa' gifts that need completing. So ...
Take care, look after yourselves and keep safe.
