Jingle Bells!

The girls managed to squeeze a festive Eat, Sew, Laugh date into their diaries in the silly season.  And in keeping with said silly season, Christmas stockings were the order of the day.  The girls came armed with creativity, craftiness and as always, a healthy appetite!

Leah hosted and catered and with the task ahead of us we needed plenty of sustenance!

The annual Christmas Hampers were also delivered and Jod & Nec excelled themselves this year.  I cannot do justice to their gift but it is well documented here!

Eventually, after glasses were filled and burgeoning plates carefully positioned, the sewing began.  Firstly we had to choose our material: there were stars, candy canes, Santa's and snowflakes; in red, silver and green.  Then an overwhelming selection of  beads, sequins and ribbons.  And finally it all had to be cobbled together! Poor Jod was bugged all day long with "what's next Jod?", "what do I do here Jod?", "where does this go Jod?" ... ahh the burden of the gifted.


And after another mammoth session, we walked out with our completed stockings, as modelled by a very cute Max Johnston, full bellies and notions about what 2012 Eat, Sew, Laugh would bring!
