HoHoHo Christmas Blog Hop!!!


Hello everyone, I am soooooooo excited! Today is the first day of the Christmas blog hop (YAY!). I would like to thank Carol and Madam Sam! They are SUPER organizers and cheerleaders! I am sending them a virtual sheep hug! 

Out of the kindness of my heart I said Miss H and the Mother were allowed to use my blog so they could join the blog hop. I am sooo lovely!
We read all the rules and saw that there is a Naughty and Nice list. We decided we had better get started straight away because the Mother said she has NEVER been on a Naughty list and wasn't going to start now.

So make a cuppa coffee or tea and eat some shortbread and read on.....



This is me! I suggested that Miss H and the Mother put some of the things they made in hoops. I had the great idea while I was hula hooping!  :)



I will start with my favourite thing Miss H made.  ME!!! I am sooo cute! Look at all those french knots Miss H did for my wool.


The Mother had lots of fun making this. The bunting is only sewn along the top so they can flap.

I wish we had ice where I live (It is winter here, not that you would know it by the lovely sunshine we are having) so I can go ice skating like the coolio penguin Miss H stitched.


I love this Christmas carol.

Four gorgeous Pixies wrapped up warm to sing Christmas carols.

Don't tell the Mother but I am going to steal this to put with my Christmas decorations. Woops! I didn't mean "steal" I meant borrow... Please DON'T put me on the Naughty list!!!

 And FINALLY, Miss H finished a quilt she started back in 2011. She sewed the rest of the squares,  then sewed the quilt together before quilting the whole thing. :)


Here is a close-up of one of the blocks.

Whew! Sure made them work over the last 7 weeks!
Not that I'm a competitive sheepie.......hee...hee... 

Go check out all the COOLIO stuff the other ladies have made.  :)

School Holidays, Get Smart, and the Christmas Spirit!!!

 Miss H has been on holiday since last week. Not that that means she has had a lot of free time. On Tuesday until Friday she was at Get Smart, which is a Christian Youth conference, with her youth group. She said it was AWESOME!


 You may have noticed that we have a button ( to the right ) that says Miss H and The Mother have joined a Christmas blog hop. Humans are soooooo crazy! It is July not December!!! Yes, it may be winter here, but I personally think Christmas should be in the summer... I guess that comes from being a Southern Hemisphere sheep...  Anyway, that's not the point, the point is I am not at all in the Christmas spirit, so I decided that I should show you some things that Miss H and The Mother have made for previous Christmas'!

Above is me in a Christmas sack.

You must view things from all sorts of different angles!

Miss H's Christmas pocket, which is allegedly filled with chocolate...

No, Miss H, I haven't seen the chocolate which was in the pocket... I don't believe there was any in there in the first place...

I AM IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT NOW!!! AS LONG AS THERE IS CHOCOLATE!!!

Sharing is Caring... Unless it's germs...

Poor, poor Miss H.  She has had the flu for over a week now but is slowly getting better. Unfortunately Miss H decided to share her germs with the Mother... not nice... so now the Mother is SOOOO sick. I hate winter!!!

They have pretty much been watching T.V. , sleeping, and drinking tea since last Saturday.

They are all set for another weekend wrapped up warm with some DVD's to watch.
