These little pressies are ready for our Playgroup Christmas break up on Wednesday. We (the mums) decided it was our turn this year and that we would be the recievers of the gift so $20 limit on the mums, $5 limit on the kids, left me with a dilema, $5!!! What's that buy, a tee is about it so I prettied them up. The scarf is silk merino in Sarparella 8ply from Fibre Works, gorgeous stunning yarn. I have 3 beaded bracelets to go with this for my recipient.

Well things are busy as always around our house but I managed to finish off some woolly goodness,
for me a scarf in 4 Bags Full merino

A hand knitted then felted bag in Bulky BFL from JollyJumbuck, this bag has been filled with yummo coffee and chai tea especialy for a lady who is having a rough trot at the moment, hopefully it help cheer her up a bit.

Some more clips for the lady who scored the merino wool last month, with 7 children and number 8 on the way I figured some stocking fillers would not go astray, gorgeous Christmas red, these looked fab.

And last a couple of squares. The knitting group I belong to on Ravelry are contributing to some wrapped in love blankets for some members new babes, these are my contribution until after Christmas now and then I will get stuck into some more.

Our vegie garden is off and running, we have a few things ready and the rest will be ready to harvest very soon. I am so excited to be growing our own food, it is very satisfying and the flavour 10 times better than the bought stuff.

OK this months give aways
I had a bag to give away as well as what is listed today, but, my Ma has claimed it for her Christmas pressie and that's OK, so maybe a bag next month if I get time.
Here is Novembers give aways, but first the rules.
Please only take 2 items so other people can get something also. Please leave a comment and in that comment leave your email address so I can email you for your postal address, if you are a Nappychino, EB or Ravelry member you may leave a comment here and PM me on the three mentioned sites your email and or postal address to keep it a bit more non public.
The clips are numbered 1-4 top left down, 5-8 top right down, you can leave a colour discription to save confusion if you wish.
Cotton face washer and soap bar.
100 gramms of hand dyed 22 micron 100% wool. Aran weight, we recommend 4.5mm needles or 7mm for a felted bag.

This was the bag, I slightly changed my pattern to make an adjustable strap as I am short and needed it to be adjustable had a tall person nabbed it, will try again next month for a freebie bag.

Have fun all.

The gifted Corriedale Rainbow Dress
Action shots of the gifted Corriedale dress, so cute.
When this didnt sell I decided to give it away rather than reduce it. Gorgeous dress for a gorgeous girl.

Incoming is always good, a great week
The awesome Tingara spoiled my little ones with her unbelievable generosity this week, he was quickly named "Jack Rabbit" apon his presentation to the mights. He was introduced to kisses, cuddles, bike riding and wizzydizz by ear.
Meet Jack Rabbit, thank-you so much Tingara.



We were also lucky this week and had this dropped off for the kids new play area, he will be loved and thank goodness it will feed their want for a horsie!!!!!!

Last one for this week, I decided to give it a burl and make our own cordial, OMGosh, it is THE best cordial I have ever tasted, yum yum yum!!!! Tried it out on people as they visited today and it got the golden seal of approval by all who tasted it, including my 4 year old son who it really is for, glad he likes it now I will be only making it myself. I waited for drinks to be requested, made it up and didnt say it was home made, everyone did the same, slammed it down and then a second later as the taste hit their mouth they would say awesome cordial what brand is it!!!!! MINE.
