well the day arrived and boy who could wait....
my parcels didn't travel too far as they came from Eltham from Anne. Not sure if ann has a blog or not as she didn't mention on the card.
Big thanks to Ann for such beautiful gifts made with such perfect stitches and put together so neatly. Love the fabrics too.
Now for the pictures you say?
The little cross stitch ornament is amazing such little stitches and all so perfect.
Thankyou so much Ann I love them all and the little extras will come in very handy.
Thanks also to Cheryll for organising the swap, you are amazing! x
Just need to wait and see if my partner likes my goodies.
Some progress on the Christmas lunch....I think this little echidna is full to the brim with ants he couldn't fit another one in, that's why they are making a quick get away.
Mrs Kangaroo has been finished too..
She is stuck cooking the bbq, now that doesn't happen in my place. BBQ is secret men's business and I promote that notion at every opportunity. With four males in the house I should be right for life!
I don't think I fancy witchety grub, gum leaf and gumnut skewers though?
Have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteAnne has made you some beautiful gifts. I'm just loving this stitchery, Marina.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gifts. Not sure about bbqs being secret mens business. I dare not let my hubby near the bbq unless you like charred and blackened steak! Fortunately my son has learned the art of the bbq but still what is a bbq without the sides......and who makes those?!
