SSCS surprise

  I sent off my parcel a couple of weeks ago and have been anticipating the arrival of my secret santa’s surprise, not knowing where it was coming from or how long it might take.    I don’t know why I am so eager because we can’t open them til Christmas Day anyway!!!!!!  But we can open our ornament and mine was perched on the top of a pile of presents inside  my parcel from……  Kornelia from Hungary. Made from felt in light blues and white, made me feel all cool and wintery in our 31 degree heat with 87 % humidity!!!!! Kornelia has made me feel very special and it’s taking me all my strength to stop from ripping the paper off these little delights!!! And don’t you just love that rocking horse clip as much as I do???   So sweet! Thank you so much Kornelia, I can’t wait to see the big reveal on Christmas Day.   And thank you so much to Chookyblue for organising this swap…it has been so much fun and she’s been an absolute trooper in keeping everything running like a well-oiled……rocking horse??!!!!! LOL Last day of school tomorrow and I can’t wait!  It’s been a particularly difficult last week, however I’m looking forward to all the time I will have to catch up on some well needed stitching!!!  Woooohooooo! Hope the rain is not lapping at your toes and pray that you are all safe and well and the weather is behaving itself where you are. Sugary hugs XX Wendy

They are absolutely amazing and it goes to show the amazing talent we have right under our noses. Here is what I received from the lovely Ruthy….. A very Christmassy table runner with lovely poinsettias fussy cut for the centres of each block.  I can see this coming to good use on my Christmas table this year!!!  Thank you Ruth….I love it!  XXX …..and what was in my parcel I showed you yesterday, you might be thinking????? Wilma loved the little stitcheries I packed away lovingly…. …and already has a spot at home picked out for them!  (That makes me smile and makes a swap so worthwhile!!!!) Hope your Christmas fun has begun!! Sugary hugs XXX  Wendy PS……and I’ve finished my report cards so the Christmas fun can DEFINITELY begin…woohoooo!!!!
