Welcome to Shiralee Stitches. I live on a cattle farm in Australia with my family.
I am passionate about all things fabric so much so I started my own online and mobile store. Link is on the sidebar to my store. I teach patchwork classes and take my shop to quilting and patchwork groups and also attend various craft markets.
I love English Paper Piecing, applique, machine quilting, working with woven wools. I have started making my own designs which I love.

Happy Mail from across the seas........

How exciting this week to find my SSCS (Secret Santa Christmas Swap)  parcel at the post office.
All the way from Belgium.......from Bizzy Martine, and look what I found in the box.......

Loads of little pressies for me, and THE BIG ONE which must remain under the tree till Christmas Day......Chooky's rules!!..........and I will be good...............
 I was allowed to open this one now........a gorgeous ornament for the tree.......isn't he just the cutest?
 .........and Martine has attached her own label to the back which makes it even more special....
Big hugs to you Martine, I love my little reindeer ornament and I can't wait to open my parcel on Christmas Day.

I am spending time today to put all the Christmas decorations up........a bit late I know, but this past few weeks has been a bit crazy here........and the craziness hasn't stopped yet.......

I hope you are all gearing up for Christmas in the happiest of ways........

He is a cute little fellow, and the other packages look very enticing. I think it's crazy everywhere, but isn't that half the fun of Christmas? Enjoy decorating.
