Merry Christmas To You All

A Big Christmas Hello To You All.

Well Christmas is upon us an what a delightful time of year.

A time to spend with family and good friends.

A time to forgive and a time to love all the people who are special to you.

I would like to say a big Thank You to all my wonderful customers both old and new.

Without you all in my life it would not be the same.

I will be taking a little break from the 21st of December 2009 until the 5th of January 2010.

My last post out day will be the 21st of December 2009. So if you would like anything from the website be quick to get your orders in.

I will still be around between the dates above but will not be doing post outs.

2010 will be an exciting new year here at Tanya's Prim Thyme Designs with heaps of new stock lines and handmades for you all.

Rememberance Day

Checkout My Stall at Christmas in the Country at Gatton

Well it has been a huge month or so getting ready for the Christmas in the Country Market at Gatton.

The opening night last night was wonderful as usual except for the huge thunder storm my friend Val and i drove through to get there.{lol we are very serious about crafting } There was soooo much rain and lightening that we could not see the road in front of us most of the way. But we made it SAFE and had a delightful night.

I purchased the most wonderful clay and fabric dolls. I had to have two of them ....lol... They are made by Jo Wholohan from http://woodlandswhimsy.blogspot.com/ . Her work is really really wonderful. I could have purchased everything she had for sale. Oh and i met Jo she is also a very sweet lady. I will show you photos of my new doll in my next post.

The craft market finishes tomorrow afternoon so if you live close to Gatton pop in and have a look see. You will find heaps of fabby products for sale.

I have taken some photos on my phone of my stall. I always forget to take the camera so the pics are a bit blurry.

Come See My Prim and Country Handmades at Christmas In The Country.

Come see and purchase my Christmas Handmades at Christmas in the Country. This market is one of the best Christmas Markets i have seen..So be sure not to miss out..

Sweet Little Butcher Bird

On Sunday morning i got to hand feed this sweet little wild Butcher Bird.

He flew right up to my deck table where i was having coffee. I could not believe that i could hand feed him a few times. I even had enough time to run inside and grab the camera and take some photos.

I love living in the country..

Our minds are as different as our faces:

we are all traveling to one destination;

--happiness;

but few are going by the same road.

It Is Warm In Queensland

Well the weather has warmed up in Queensland this week. So much for the rest of winter . Today it feels like the middle of November here.

I don't don't mind though. Bring on the hot weather i say..

I LOVE IT ....

Winter and i don't get on too well. It makes me sluggish and i can never seem to get warm.

But my Cat Bubbles does not like the hot weather . I found him sleeping on the old 4x4 today in the shade of a big old tree. He was most annoyed when i took photos of him and woke him up...lol..

Warm weather might make him feel better. He has been to the vet and stayed over night a few weeks back. Seems he has pneumonia. He like the medicine so that is great.

When warm weather comes i also lovvvve the flowers that come with it. But my nose does not. I have been sneezing now for about a week. Hay Fever is a crazy thing . It is quite dusty here so the tablets i take are not working very well..

Anyhoo i LOOOOOOOOOVE the warm .....

OK this is my first round head Annie Doll...I think i will be making heaps of these....They turn out so sweet..I didn't use a pattern...Just thought i would sew a head to start with to see if it would work...Well her stitched nose is a bit wonky but it suits her....

I love how the head is so firm compared to other dolls..She has been stained abut 4 times so her colour is just right...

My next round head doll will be dark in colour i think.......
