Dear Santa..............

Sorry, I digressed for a minute. Where was I? Oh yes, the girls over at the FQS, yes well, they've promised to make sure Santa grants a few wishes by getting him to detour and pick up some goodies for a few lucky (hard working and deserving) quilters. Just have to write him a letter and post it. OK, here goes, hope your listening Santa.........................
Dear Santa,
All year I've tried really hard to be good, it's not easy when you're grown up and think you can do pretty much what you want? I've washed and cleaned, I've mopped and dusted (well sometimes!) I've baked and roasted and I've stitched and sewed. Now Santa, those lovely and generous girls at the Fat Quarter Shop (radar directions to follow) have offered to make things a little easier for you by getting a parcel ready for you to pick up and deliver right to my house (radar directions as above), this should give you enough time to go see Mrs Clause and have a hot meal before you leave. None of this low calorie, none fat business, a good hearty home cooked meal, I think Mrs Clause has a roast in mind, yummo!!
Oh yes, the list, can't forget the list! Welllllll, I would really, really like to have the 'Glace Frosted Windowpanes Quilt Kit' to make for next year, perhaps you would be able to call in and see it finished then?? Also I've had a hankering for a 'Hedgerow Fat Quarter Bundle' by Lynette Anderson (she's an Aussie you know), it's just adorable and reminds me of growing up in the UK!
That's it!! Not too much is it? I'm not greedy am I?
Thanks Santa, have a great trip and watch out for space debris (no one picks up litter anymore!), hope the weather holds out for you and don't forget to go see Mrs Clause before you leave. You know what she's like about clean underwear and everything!!

Eureka!!!!!
Yesterday we all (me, husband, daughter and her husband and two grandchildren)headed off into the city of Melbourne for a day of shopping, oohhing and aahhing over Christmas decorations, wandering up and down streets and alleyways, eating and adventure!! We arrived reasonably early and parked in the Art Centre car park, had a wander around the Southbank Sunday market, then to Australia on Collins for coffee (He Who Works is soooo fussy about his coffee) and a muffin.
John and Bec's feet standing on the sill, good job that glass is thick!!

Advent, Indulgence and a bargain............
On Sunday 'He Who Works' started his holidays, lucky for him really because he got to escape the changeover of rail operators in Melbourne, he is now employed by Metro - whoopee - that's going to make a HUGE difference - not! So anyway, we took ourselves off for a day out. Drove over to Maldon for morning tea. Quick (as if) wander around the quilt shop, then round a few of the other shops where we found our bargain of the year!!
I did take some photo's of the Civil War Bride Quilt while I was there, the photo's are over on the CWBQ blog, still a gorgeous quilt.
Just adorable isn't it? How could I resist it? I couldn't could I? I'm so glad that you agree. LOL!
I don't know whether you can actually catch it, but the fire is lit! It's been so cool here with all the rain that we lit the fire again! Can you believe it after all that heat we had the other week - crazy weather, lets hope it settles down now that December is here?
I'll be back in a few days to show you what else the lovely Fiona has sent in the advent swap, stay tuned, more goodies for me! ;o)
