OUR GIFT FROM EDNA


My morning is interesting, I am sitting here listening to Maori Christmas Songs as I type, I am also baby sitting Georgia and Fergus, plus a wayward puppy. Phillip, Nik and Baby Macklen are somewhere in the Gulf Of Carpenteria fishing - they left at 3 this morning.



Our final gift this morning is from Edna (or as I know her -Amah) - this exceptionally talented lady is in her late 80's, and last Sunday morning was admitted to Auckland Hospital, I am assuming she is home, but I know all of us will wish her a speedy recovery and a Happy Christmas.


What can be in this gorgeous gold package with a pretty tag? - Fergus was a reluctant participant in the photo shoot -lol.


Amah - these two Christmas Decorations are simply amazing, one has a star and the other a Christmas tree, both neatly hand stitched - they too will hang on our tree here in Weipa - Amah has crafted for years and still produces the most amazing things - Thank you so much.


Like everyone, I watch in horror the events in Christchurch, and my heart goes out to them, to happen so close to Christmas Day is unthinkable, they have had enough.


I too want to thank each and everyone for making our 2011 Christmas Swap so special, it is always fun, - a huge thank you to Hazel, Miranda and Wendy for once again co-ordinating it, Julie - what can I say, trying to pack a house, trying to get Christmas together and posting Group 2's Blog, no mean feat, but another example of GIRLS CAN DO ANYTHING.


Merry Christmas from the tropics

Edna, had no idea you'd had a hospital visit - hope all's well now and you're home for Xmas. Thanks so much for your amazing gift. My wee boy and I have enjoyed hanging your ornaments on our Xmas tree. They're beautiful, thank you. Debbie
