It's over!

Christmas that is...
well one part of it anyway.
Yesterday was spent with DHs family,
great day, good food, a lot of laughs,
a few tears (miss you so much Princess Fiona), and some really sick bon bon jokes!

Sad to say,
my ED had to work yesterday,
so Christmas morning was early for us, so she could go to work...
paper was flung far and wide in the unwrapping stakes,
lots of ohhhhs and ahhhhhs, and aww now I get what that other present was for,
we do some tricky presenting in our house, they don't always make sense until everything is unwrapped! (makes for some excitement and guessamations!)

I finally got to open my SSCS from Barbara...


2 gorgeous pot holders (nice and big) and a beautiful zippered pouch...
check out the most beautiful ribbon roses on it!


and I had also left my 6 item swap parcel to open on Christmas Day,
these are the lovely things sent by Jewells,


thank you so much ladies, it is always a pleasure to be in swaps with like minded people and to receive beautiful handmade gifts..you know there is so much thought going into each gift.

And finally a huge thank you to the ladies that organise these awesome swaps,
ChookyBlue and Maree...
thank you, thank you, thank you!

cheers Julz

(will post next time what I sent to my swap partner in both swaps)

I am glad you enjoyed the gifts I made for you. Until two years ago I didn't do any sewing at all and I never thought I would do it in my life. And now I like this handwork :-) !! However, I still have to learn a lot ;-) !
Wishing you wonderful days between the years, a time I like very much. Actually we are in the mountains where we have a lot of snow and are ski-ing.
