@arpie I was getting mine sorted but now that Ive been recruited to sew and crochet for biggest morning tea stall it’s getting to look like that again
bowl cosies , oven mitts, hanging tea towels, and casserole dish carriers. All the others i did have sold so more has been requested.

You should see my garage, @Cindi xx AND my spare room ... it will take 5 years to clear the lot!!

Well done @cranky_granny .....you are a champion!!

@arpie I used to have a cupboard like that. Then I realised it was just wasted space as I would never use it. I gave it to someone who would and now just admired the lovely fabrics in the shop.

At one of our Uke Xmas gigs last week, they had a bunch of these bottles (with bottlebrush blooms in the jars) ..... they look fabulous! If you use 3 different sized bottles - they look even better!!

I remember we had a big 'globe' that we used to put a fresh Frangipani in, back in the 60s .... and they looked fabulous too ...

Give this a go to 'dress up' your Xmas Table!!

@Cindi
Very cute photo. We lost two elderly cats this year (14 and 17) and will now celebrate Christmas with two new kittens !!!
Here is a link to many pets ..... our two and the dog are way back near the beginning ....

@Arpie I wish I had time to do those bottlebrushes, what a gorgeous idea - hopefully for next year.

There are so many Australian native plants with lovely colours for Christmas.

And here's to cats (and dogs) of Christmases past, present and future

(PS: That last comment makes it sound like I'm drinking since it sounds like a toast, just want to let you know that I'm not LOL).

@June1952, thanks for the pet link, sorry about your fur babies passing, it's always heart breaking.
Hope your new babies are making you happy

This is a neat video on repairing small holes or slits in your clothes ... making them 'features' instead!

I never throw yarn away. I find uses for all my 'bits & bobs' such as this boat neck jumper for my granddaughter.
