Merry Christmas Eve!

 My decorating is a bit minimal this year...

and by the front door...

my snowman collection

and a close up!

pork roast is prepped for cooking, 

turkey roll is defrosting, 

pavlova made, cream whipped, fruit ready to go,

fruit platter for boxing Day is cut and in containers, 

all ready for the festivity to begin

table will be set in the morning as it looks a thunderstorm is almost here,

don't want the decorations, table napkins etc to get wet!

Merry Christmas!

(or whatever you do or don't celebrate, do it in style!)

My hippy finally bloomed!

not a stunner by any stretch of the imagination, but a bloom none the less!

some beauties from the garden

the type of traffic jam I love!

slashing done for another year..

boy it was long, almost could of done haymaking!

I got to play with a new toy!

battery powered chainsaw...

so much fun!

and these beauties were picked for my fabulous massage therapist who was getting married

my stall for December at HotchPotch...

(I think interest rates and cost of living has finally hit most people right where it hurts!

sales have been down for everyone, the only ones making profits are banks and supermarkets!!!)

if only more people would shop local,

 support handmade,

 or handcrafted

 or small business owners.
