Wool.....

ok... so the shorts didn't go down too well yesterday... but if we dont' knit or crochet we can sew with wool..... I do like to upcycle and have a nice stock of hand made felt from blankets and clothing.....

It's very easy... just a very hot soapy wash with something else in it to rough and tumble...

not my picture but the watermark came on when I exported

Cooooeeeeyyy.....

Happy New Year lovely FHFS friends..... I am so looking forward to this years swaps... we had such fun last year... sad to say goodbye to some of the ladies but wonderful to make new friends... 

Thanks Peg and Shez for arranging it all... I can imagine it is quite a challenge mixing around etc....

Anyways, I loved the ideas that were put to us about the hexies....and I thought I might start off a wool idea..... but of course change the colour way to suit your partner....

Thank you, thank you, thank you,

to dear Shez and sweet Peg for organising another year of fabulous fun swaps for us all.

A big welcome to all the new members too.

My parcels from Shez....

I am late in posting my last couple of parcels from Shez... apologies... I do love them Shez...

On Christmas Eve this gorgeous snowman arrived... if I remember rightly he is called Walter and designed by Michelle???

He is really charming and has been hanging up since arriving here....

On Christmas Day I opened this lovely lovely mini hanging...

(it looks like a Gail pan design??)

I love it... so much beautiful stitching and finishing off ....

... looked wonderful on my stand too....

I so enjoyed having so many hand made decorations for Christmas .... so I know these will be used year after year to adorn my house... as well as the many others from Shez in these parcels...

Thanks again Shez, wonderful gifties and thanks to both Peg and Shez for organising this all for us.... has been SUCH fun....

Amazing parcels from all of you ... sorry I haven't been commenting... xx

Under the Christmas Tree

Well I thought I to myself....you have been incredibly spoilt in this swap until I opened what was under the tree...

My heart skipped a beat when I read these two words..

But wait there is more...inside this lovely canvas bag.... all the way from Gay Paris is a beautiful piece of antique linen.

and it has my initial embroidered on it as well.

Oh boy! it is so beautiful!

Of course the photo does not do it justice. Thank you so much Keryn for all your spoiling. Everything has been so perfect. Thank you also to the our "little wondefuls" Peg and Shez for organising a wonderful year of fun and frienship..big hugs to everyone xxx
