Some lovely gifts....

Some Christmas gift pictures at last...... 

my dear friend Melissa (no blog) gave me this gorgeous Sue Spargo kit...
the fabric and trims are so colourful and rich...


can't wait to start this one........

My friend Sharon (no blog) gave me this beautiful cross-stitch sampler ....... which she suggested I start on January 1st..... as if I had nothing else to sew...lol...

complete with fabric and threads and a needle - all ready to go......
the linen is a lovely rich dark green and the threads are silk.....

of course I had to start it on the first day of 2012....
the thread was so lovely to use, I can see myself actually finishing this one ......
Sharon has the idea that I should have it done by 2013.... we'll see.....

I have also been stitching this little cutie over the past month.....
another gift from Sharon and (another no blogger) Helen back in 2005...

It looks really sweet with those special little ceramic buttons on it, I am planning on getting it framed.

It is a great feeling ticking another project off my ufo list!!

Have dusted off my Christmas tin so I can cart around my next project...
a Christmas project of course....
finally getting to stitch my "Tis the season" stitchery....

Way way behind the girls in the stitch-a-long group, most of them finished theirs last year as we were meant to, I figure better late than never......

Thank you so much for visiting my blog... I have loved peeking at all your beautiful work! Your finished GJ quilt is stunning... and such a great feeling to have it off the to- do list, I bet :) TTS will come together much more quickly :) Are you going to do SKoW too?
