I've been having a little play with selvedges, which will soon become Christmas gifts. Many of them are just too cute to throw away.
The week improved on Friday night when my eldest son and his girlfriend had their Year 12 formal. Despite the 40 degree heat, it was a great night.
Nice to get a dressed up photo with Mr Thimblestitch too..........the pink is very bright for my usual taste.
And my SSCS gifts will be on the sleigh tomorrow to who knows where! I love being part of Chookyblue's international swap, it just wouldn't be Christmas without it.
Happy stitching,

Lovely photos Susan. Both the dresses are gorgeous. Hugs........
ReplyDeleteGlad your week improved. Can't wait to see what you do with those selvedges. Very smart you all look
DeleteSweet pics! Two handsome couples!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,glad your week got better,such lovely family pics,your son has gown up to be a handsome young man,yes my SSCS is ready to go to.xx
ReplyDeleteHad to convert your 40 degree celsius - all of you look beautifully fresh and elegant in 104 degree Fahrenheit!! I wilt just thinking about it...we awoke to a frost covered woods and 18 degrees this morning - quite crisp! How organized you are with the gift exchange ready to go. Always fun to visit blogs to see the grand reveal.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! We have -12 C now, so a bit different here :-) I jus finished my SSCS gifts today, ready to go in the mail this week- Yeey!

Sorry you had one of THOSE weeks. Your son looks very handsome and love his partners dress. You too look gorgeous! I must admit to loving some of those pretty selvages too.
ReplyDeleteIt surely has been hot hasn't it. You all look remarkably cool and relaxed considering. Lovely to see photos of both of you too. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope this week is better for you! I can't wait to see what your selvedge project is-I have been collecting for years and need to start using mine for something!
ReplyDeleteYour dress up pictures are wonderful. You have a good looking family!!

Beautiful photos of you and your family, Susan. I hope you have a better week this week. I too have collected selvedges but haven't done anything with them... I'll be interested to see what you do with yours'. Your mini finish is spectacular, the quilting takes it to the next level, just so beautiful and the perfect thing to decorate your home according to William Morris.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't everyone look glamorous in their pink and red dresses and sharp suits!
ReplyDeleteI know all about those weeks we would rather forget. This is turning into an annus horribilis for me, but I am convinced that next year will be better. Bring on New Year!
Lovely family pics. Yes i know withdrawals when one cant get to stitch, but sometimes we have to grin and bear it, there will be plenty more time you will find to sew!!!! . Your chrissie gifts are sure to make someone very happy. Am sure you will manage a few stitches this week.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing what you do with those selvedges Susan.....I have a collection too but have never attempted anything with them! Everyone looks very dapper all dressed up...your son looks like you especially the smile!
ReplyDeleteBoth couples are dressed to impress ... beautiful pics.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a special milestone. 40 deg and suits .... oh my!
