My Secret Santa Present has arrived...

Will, look at this wonderful lot of presents, my Secret Santa has made for me... There were 3 little parcels in the envelope, all with lovely handmade tags on them. My SS has written a lovely letter with her card, secretly telling me about herself and her family. I know she comes from Box Hill in Victoria, she is sooo secret she doesn't have a Blog!!!! We'll have to see if we can fix that little hick-up for next year! These are the lovely pressies that were in my parcel. A beautiful handmade card, a great little "Santa Broach" a soft felt bauble for my tree, a groovy purple Santa and a wonderful wall hanging.

This is a picture of the Santa wall hanging that my SS has made for me, isn't it lovely...

That's not all I have done some detective work to find out who my secret Santa is, and now I know her mane... Thank you soooo much June for my lovely surprise, I love it...

The Elves have Left the Building...

Well, I happy to say that I have finished my Christmas Bauble for the Bee Sew Whimsical Secret Santa Honeypot Swap. I'm really very relieved as I'm usually running late with these swaps, 'cause I leave everything to the last minute, but NOT this time...Heee!!! I cannot say who is going to receive my little treasure, but the Elves should have it to her (in Victoria... clue!!!) within a few days. I do hope she likes it, I have made myself one, and it is very handy to have all your needles threaded, you don't have to waste time trying to thread needles...


This is it and how it'll look hanging on ????'s Christmas Tree... If you haven't worked out what it is yet, I'll tell you. It is a Quilters/Stitcher's Threaded Needle Caddy.




Here it is opened with a large reel of thread in it...








I have also put in it some needles (threaded...) and a needle threaded (just in-case)...
