I had fun making this Santa Sack and 5 gifts for Sarah

I searched Sarah's blog and found that she was very good at and loved HEXIES and CATS. 

 I am not a fan of either so what was I to make....

First up was my Sack... I love making this style bag..

All ready to be squished in the box and put in the post

All wrapped up and ready to post

MY SANTA SACK SWAP

Back in June/July I signed up to be part of a SANTA Sack Swap.

We were assigned a partner then had to go about making 5 handmade gifts and a stocking/sack or tote to put the gifts in. These had to be done and posted by 25th November and not to be opened until XMAS day.

How hard was that. Having lots of presents sitting around for all that time.......

Anyway, this is what I sent my partner, Mel.

Here they all are ready to put in the Sack and post......

Here Is a sweet Mittens stitchery made into a table runner, 2 cotton knitted dishcloths, some tree ornaments and the large SANTA sack to put everything in.

Now someone else just has to fill it each year. How nice is that.......

 A cute square bag, a fabric bowl filled with lollies and a hot chocolate drink pack, a double ended oven mitt and pot holder. I know Mel loves buttons so I gave her a pack of wooden XMAS buttons and then made her a button necklace. If she doesn't want to wear it she can cut the string and have lots of buttons to sew on her projects.

Another XMAS luncheon

4 days in a row I have had a lunch for XMAS. 

It has been a great week. 

My daughter and I enjoy a bit of harmless fun so at Wednesday's lunch we decided to dress up.

We were going to lunch at a restaurant in Sunbury, VICS.....

There were 9 of us going to be there. So Kristy and I decided to surprise everyone with this..........

We put a lot of smiles on everyone's faces. After all, isn't xmas supposed to be joyful and fun.

We walked from Kristy's house so there were a lot of people that tooted, waved, laughed and smiled. 

We all had a good time.

Another break up over...

It was a very nice place. The meals were beautiful.

Now it's time to catch up and get in and do some more seeing.

Join me and lots of others over at Wendy's for FNSI
