Gosh, I do feel lucky you know... two giveaway wins this month!! Christmas has come early for me I tell you!
This time I won some fabulous goodies from Staci at Snippets and Stash....
..... I was, needless to say, over the moon when I opened the parcel the postman handed me this morning to reveal these prettily wrapped gifts...
...I am a sucker for polka dots!!!
....what an array of festive treats Staci had sent (and all the way from the USA too!!)... I can't wait to use the cute plates this Christmas and tuck in to those yummy sweets with the boys.... :D
...and some sewing bits and bobs too..... perfect!
I have to say though that my favourites were the beautifully hand knitted dish cloth in cream and red wrapped up in pretty ribbon... and this ultra cute knitted mini-jumper with it's very own mini-hanger!!
Staci is one talented lady don't you think?
I know I should probably hang it on my tree but it just looks so good in my little craft corner hanging on my CK box it will have to stay out all year long I think!

{I have also just seen that I have won a blog award from the lovely Julie over at a tale from toadstool house which I will blog about very soon... thank you Julie!}
I hope you are all enjoying this wonderful time of year.. possibly mixed in with a truck load of last minute festive panic too I am guessing?.... yup, me also.... I think I may have to give in to the chaos this year and try and ease the pressure with a tipple or two he he ;-)
I just quickly want to share these with you before I nip off....
...Christmas tree decorations for some dear friends of mine...(I never actually got round to making any for our tree this year, lol)
Happy holidays to you all....looking forward to seeing you in the new year my blogging lovelies!

ReplyDeleteLove your tree decs , lucky friends.....can't count the number of times I make things but always end up with no time to make myself one too!
Hope you have a fabulous Christmas with all your lovely boys....I have bought my three matching shirts for Christmas day and took a double take when I was shopping a couple of days ago and saw a shirt in near enough the same fabric for hubby....I did contemplate it, but knew he wouldn't amuse me.
Merry Christmas me dear!
What lovely presents, lucky you. That mini jumper is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI love your crochet star decorations. I've made a list of things I've made for other people, to make for myself for next year! How sad!!

Thank you! These will be perfect for an ornament exchange party I attend each year!
