It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

A very merry, sandy Christmas to you all!

Things to do in the car

I’ve been sewing a cute little outfit for my friend’s 1 year old daughter for Christmas – had this project planned and everything purchase a good 6 weeks ago – but why do it in 6 weeks when you can to do it in 3 days??

I’ll tell you why – at this time of year all bets are off!

Anyway I was putting the finishing touches on the cute little bonnet in the car on the way over there yesterday, in fact, that 1 hour trip was quite productive…

 don't worry, it's a lite!

Now, if only I had a full-time driver at my disposal, imagine how much more I could get done!

It's a wrap

How's your Christmas gift list going? We’ve found that as long as you prepare in advance, a hamper of goodies can be the best solution – and making said goodies and putting it all together can be lots of fun too, so this year we’ve come up with another homemade hamper idea.

Marinated Kalamata Olives
Spiced Onion Chutney

Biscotti

Spiced Cherries

It's such a pleasure shopping for the tasty ingredients at the local shops and farmers market!

The best thing is that each gift can be given individually as well, solving all our gift giving dilemmas of all sizes!

Each gift will be presented in a brown paper gift bag or a basket - always with a big bow and a gorgeous letterpress gift tag from Ruby Victoria...

Have I forgotten anything?

Ode to neighbours

There once was a chap named Day

He fell in love with a lass called May

They settled in Seddon

Thought about weddin'

And maybe they will one day
