Najida Open Christmas Tree

 Its that time of year again, where our members bring along Christmas pressies for the kiddies and Mums being looked after by the lovely ladies from Najidah

There is usually a mountain of gifts for boys and girls of all ages and their Mums and this year is no different.

Sheila with the lass from Najidah who visited to collect all the lovely goodies.

We wish all the Kiddies and their Mums a lovely Christmas and the best for 2021 and beyond.

Sheila had a bit of a find, awhile back she noticed that her wonderful bamboo point turner had disappeared, I won't say there were tears, but she wasn't happy.  Sheila bought it from Bargain Box (remember them) quite a number of years ago for the princely sum of .60c.  

Imagine how pleased she was to find it had slid down under a box in her notions drawer, especially as she reckoned a replacement would be a bit more than 0.60c, and she is right! A quick google found one for $29.61 - Nope, not kidding, and postage on top of that, lots of other sites were all out of stock (bamboo - Made in China ?, perhaps there is a link there with our current trading problems with China).         Anyhoo, a bit more digging found one for the extra cheap price of $8 with postage of $10 from  Fibre Smith , an Aussie company in Yarraville, Vict, so I guess it depends how you view the results, $18 is less than $29 but way way more than .60c but if your heart hankers for a dandy bamboo point turner, get your skates on, there are on 13 left!

Sheila has also been busy making her annual pillow cases for her Grandies, always made to match their quilts but always different from the previous years.
