A beading order kept my fingers busy with the build up to Christmas..... I was more involved with Christmas beading than Christmas baking this year! What a challenge..... in the end I completed 65 of these delightful beaded serviette rings for Judy's order for Devonvale. |
The completed serviette ring eventually only took 15 minutes to complete.... after many attempts! |
A delight in my garden.... the first variegated Turkish Delight flowers on my latest Bougainvillea..... the perfect Christmas treat for the garden...and me! |
My garden is also producing other flowers which will eventually become Butternut Squash. I already have some baby squash forming....another delight in my garden. |
I just love the tight, newly formed baby Iceberg rose buds. Pink and delicate on the outside, will open to reveal a perfect, white Iceberg rose. |
My garden travels with me...... a few buckets later and I decorated the Christmas table at our family get together on the 25th. |
Another view of the perfect patio setting, complete with a pizza oven..... and the lush, tropical garden around the pool. |
A taste of Africa with some Aloe hanging from the chandelier..... just for a bit of fun! |
I trust you all enjoyed a 'joylicious' Christmas feast and that you are ready to tackle the challenges of 2012? Cheers to the last few days of 2011. |
