A very wet Christmas Eve Show & Tell...

Even though it's Christmas Eve and you are probably busy with many things to do before the big day tomorrow, let's all grab a nice cup of coffee, tea, cocoa - whatever allows you to sit and relax, to catch your breath - and have a look at these pretty projects in this week's Show & Tell Friday.
I've just finished icing the Festive Cinnamon Scrolls...would you like one, or two, to nibble while we chat?
 
Rumi bought my 'Honey' stitchery set pattern a little while back so she could make it up for gifts, and she sent me a photo of one of the sets - isn't it beautiful!
 
I really love those colours and the fabric, Rumi - this set works so well with pretty pastels. :-)
~~~~~
Susan used her caring hands to make a heart block for a dear lady in NZ who has been diagnosed with cancer. She used the applique and rose stitchery part of my 'Love' block from the Shabby Roses quilt...
 Bless your kindness, Susan. Your block is truly lovely!
~~~~~
The  monsoon is happening and we, up here in the far north of Queensland, are in for more rain than we have had in decades - and it's going to be at least a week before it eases. A wet Christmas indeed, but the concern is that we have enough food supplies in case the roads are cut off (which by the sound of it is a given fact). Today I hit the supermarket once more and stocked up on dry goods, canned goods, and toilet paper. The important things. ;-)
Me E once again had to dig drainage ditches in the back yard so we could move the car to higher ground...
 
It's not too bad at the moment - the worst is yet to arrive. My prayers to all those North Queensland followers out in the thick of it! May you all be safe and dry, and your family, homes and livestock safe.
~~~~~
God's abundant blessings be upon all of you, wherever you are, as we celebrate the most amazing day in all of history - the birth of our precious Jesus!
I will leave you with a a special felt nativity scene that Blossom made from scraps when she was just 9...
Hugs
Jenny & family

Susan said...

Thanks Jenny - for showing my little heart - and for temptimg us yet agsin - with yummy looking cinnamon scrolls this time. Stay safe and hopefully you will not cut off entirely. As Marilyn says it is also very wet here and those in low lying areas have already been flooded. Your highset house will really help - and hopefully the car and of course the bike will stay safe.
Take Care, enjoy a wonderful Christtmas.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and thank you for all the pleasure you have given to me through your blog and your designs.

Lucky me to see Rumi's work first hand. Her stitches are perfection. As long as you have baking supplies you can always have cookies. Stay dry, warm, and safe. The umbrella didn't look like it was helping Mr. E very much! Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you and yours and thank you for all your words and works of inspiration. Here on the east coast of Canada, we had terrible rain storms and high winds all week that caused a lot of damage along our coast. We woke up this morning to everything white and beautiful with snow, which is more the norm for us.
One of those scrolls with a nice cup of herbal tea would be wonderful! I'm off to make blueberry pie, Grandson's favorite.
Enjoy your family and friends everyone and God's blessings to you all!

Terry said...

Olá amiga!
Embora eu não deixe comentários( me desculpe por isso) estou sempre por aqui apreciando suas maravilhas.
Mas é tempo de desejar Feliz Natal.
Segundo o Papa Bento XVII, "o natal é uma profecia de paz para cada ser humano".
Que assim seja em seu lar, em seu trabalho e em seu lazer.
Beijos, Iêda
