Early Christmas Presents

Last Saturday we had another  meeting with Sampler Guild members at Janet, Heather and Mum’s house in London for Christmas. It was lovely, good company and good food.  I got some lovely presents!!!
  
 First I have to show you my Chocolate Letter from St. Nicolas, who visited Holland this month, yummy, thanks Atie :)) it's nearly gone :(
A couple of weeks ago I bought a Christmas tree which does not sting, I know I am cheating :( When it fell out of the box my heart sank, but I got him up in no time really! It's much fuller since this pic was taken.

 Early Christmas presents from Holland, a lovely Stable, Flow magazines, a notebook and mini notebooks, Thanks  Girl & Guys :)

 Linen and Ribbon from France, Thank you Paulette, I love it!! 
A Primitive Hare pillow from Britta, it’s gorgeous, look at the back too! And a lovely silver bird ornament, red stone heart and very tiny buttons, love them!


 Snowman pillow from Sandra S, on beautiful linen and silk ribbon and an Acorn thread winder:) Beautifully stitched Sandra:) 


 A Huswif from Laura made from fabrics she bought in Sturbridge Village, fabulous colours, love it a lot:)

 Presents from; Linda, Janet & Heather,Marjan & Caroline, thank you girls!! they are gorgeous :o))


It was Sandra’s birthday on Sunday; I made a little BBD Pillow with buttons on the back, you have to imagine them :o)

A big thank you to my wonderful family and my lovely friends, you have spoiled me and I love it !!

 Thank you all for being my followers and leaving me such great comments in the past year, it makes me want to pick up that needle now!!


Daisy and I wish you a Peaceful Christmas and a Happy (stitching) 2012 :))
