Christmas in July

June 3, 2010 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 18 Comments

With the weather finally starting to cool, it is reminding me of Christmas time in the Northern hemisphere. I have been lucky enough to have experienced three winter Christmas’ – including a magical Christmas in Colorado where we went for sleigh ride on Christmas Day. I think that is why Christmas in July is so popular here in Australia – the traditional menu’s are more suited to the colder months, rather than a heavy meal in the middle of summer.

To celebrate Christmas in July there is going to be some on-line stitching fun over at QFD Creative. So if you want to celebrate Christmas in July, or simply want to make a head start on some Christmas crafting, head on over to QFD Creative. The QFD Creative Team is going to be joined by some fabulous guest designers for this on-line Christmas themed month of stitching.

You can read more about it here.

These lovely fabrics arrived in the mail today from QFD Creative. They are destined for some Christmas in July fun. It is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas ……..

    This sounds fun,I`ll have to check out the link! We have snowy Christmas every year here but last year (2009) we spend our Christmas time in Perth and for the first time I experienced a “hot” Christmas with BBQ etc. and really enjoyed it too!
    By the way you are not the only “Bookaholic” and thank you for the peg bucket tutorial, this comes in very handy for me as I need a new one…
