Advent Calenders start the Christmas season in our family.
Cadel helped me put the candy canes in each pocket and then started marking the days by enjoying the treat. 
Old fabrics
elicit memories
I found this carryall when looking for the Christmas stockings.
The fabrics are corduroy I used in my maternity clothes and first daughter's early overalls.The bag was a great size. As evidenced by the wonderfully worn condition.
Memories reflected and altered through use.
My New Carryall.
I made this new bag similar in size to the original. The base is called pet mesh. It's for screen doors. I fell in love with the fabric at a sale.
This one's for me. If time permits maybe a couple more for presents.
The season has officially started.Baking is much the same for a Summer Christmas.
The difference is fresh fruit with the juice running down your chin.
I like the holidays and the family traditions which have developed over the years D.H. and I have lived in Australia. 40th Christmas coming up.
Dear Friends whatever your weather enjoy the season.
