New Year's Eve I got some great news that Edit (in Hungary) received her wayward parcel and it was well received. Phew! what a relief. Unfortunately Ididn't take a pic of what I sent so I hope she posts a pic that I can pilfer.
I received a wonderful parcel from Carrie, a christmas parcel that was a give away on her blog. It has some lovely Christmas projects which will come in handy for the 1 Christmas item per month target. Narelle and I had discussed getting a headstart on Christmas crafting so we are hoping to make some Christmas crafting each month and try to encourage each other to get things done. Narelle has made a snazzy button which you can find on her blog or at the bottom of my blog. You can join Narelle's list of crafters at her blog.
I am looking forward to using the goodies from Carrie. Thankyou so much Carrie!
I have some hexies to show... Here is my new Hexie project. Seems to be growing slowly..
My other hexie project will be added to with the hexies I receive in the 1 inch hexie swap. We have our January swap list so I will be making a new hexie for the lovely Melody.
The other day we went for a lovely drive to pick fresh raspberries. They were just divine! While stopping for lunch we were parked right near Mrs Martins Quilt shop, somewhere I have been 'busting' to get to, to buy some felted wool. Wouldn't you know it they don't reopen till around the middle of January! Talk about bad luck, if I didn't know better I think my hubbie and the boys were quite happy about that. Just as well I can buy over the phone and net!
Hope everyone will have a year filled with friendship, familiy and good health (with lots of craftiness thrown in!).
cheers

OK Marina, I have made a commitment to the monthly Xmas gift. We will see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the quilt shop, I am sure you will get there another day. I just hope that you got lots of raspberries. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Hi Marina,
ReplyDeleteYour new hexie project looks so beautiful. I will really enjoy watching it grow.
I thrilled you will be sending me a hexie flower - lucky me.
Lovely goodies you have received.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your wayward goods arrived at their intended destination after all their travels.
Christmas crafting through the year now that sounds like a good idea, I'll go take a look.
Pretty hexies for your latest project.
Hope the New Year fulfils all your wishes and more. Enjoy
Happy New Year Marina, I hope that you will have lots of fresh raspberries and lots of succesful visits to quilt shops.
ReplyDeleteYou must have the patience of a saint to be making hexagons.
There is certainly a theme of making Christmas items in advance going round. I hope we can all encourage each other to stick to our goal.

Happy New Years! What gorgeous pressies from Came! Love the hexies too!
ReplyDeleteA very happy new year to you as well! Love the gifts and the new hexie project.
ReplyDeleteThe hexies look lovely!
ReplyDeleteDoing a little Xmas crafting each month is such a good idea. I rn out of tags so I did think about doing a handful each month this year. It just feels so good to put all the Xmas stuff away though..... ;)
Sorry you didn't get to go in the quilt shop. I get a little upset when I run into that too.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you got your package okay.
Happy New Year dear friend.
