Remembrance Parade

I got up early today to walk the dogs. When I peeped out of the window it was a beautiful crisp, misty morning so I grabbed my camera to take with me...
Minnie in the mist...

Mist in the trees....

Dew and cobwebs in the tree...

Max in the leaves....
 
When we got to the Remembrance Day Parade Jasper and Eliza were both Standard bearers for the Guides and Scouts. I managed to get a quick snap of them together...looking particularly twinny!!

Another UFO!

Bit more finishing off. As we decorated Eliza's room over the summer holidays, (a dim memory as I type this in the gloom of November) I thought it was about time I finished her quilt.
For the first time I quilted other than in the ditch. After going around each block I decided to just run across the block diagonally. Still very basic quilting I know, but I need to sort out a free motion foot for my machine before I can go more ambitious!

That dreaded "C" word...

I took a break from finishing off bits this week and have tried to get organised for Christmas. I have started my shopping and also some making AND made my cakes.
All ready to go in the oven. I say "cakes" because I decided to make one for Jess to take back to Uni with her after Christmas!
 
And all cooked! On Monday I went to see Burn and Linda at the cabin and we made christmassy paper so I decided to start making my cards using that....
I'm not going to show you any closer otherwise they won't be a surprise when you get one will they? I still have to make a few more however so that is todays job.
