Spoilt For The SSCS

Yesterday I showed you what I sent to Annette from Jindi's Cottage and today here is what I received from Fiona at Fiona's Peaceful Threads. Again I was spoilt in Chookyblue's SSCS.
I received this lovely sewing case

and this adorable Sewing Cushion

with some lovely hand stitching

I also do love the fabric range used as well.

So thank you Fiona for the lovely gifts and also thank you to Chooyblue for hosting this swap again.

So What Did I Send For the SSCS?

Another year gone and another SSCS completed. My partner Annette from Jindi's Cottage has opened her parcel, so now I can show what I made her.

A mini quilt hanging

and mug rug

Also there were some extras I popped the parcel too, which I didn't get round to taking a photo of.

Earlier in the month she got to open these cute decorations which I learnt to make from this You Tube video

Watch out tomorrow for what I received. I have been spoilt too.

Have a great Christmas Day and don't eat to much like I have already done and still to get the dessert out.

SSCS Parcel Has Arrived

Well Santa made a special delivery to me today for ChookyBlue's SSCS.

Sending to me was Fiona from Fiona's Peaceful Threads. I was allowed to open the decoration straight away,

but the main pressie is to be left under the tree until Christmas day and I did resist squishing.

Finally Catching Up

Well finally I am truely getting into settling down mode here in Kuratau, Turangi. Well I say Turangi, but am half way between Turangi and Taumaranui. Swaps are nearly up to date from being behind because of the big move, I start my new job at Taupo Hospital in 10 days and finally am getting some fine weather.
Another little buy I have had at Mitre 10 was this cute Christmas bell. Dear hubby may have to stop me from going into Taumaranui Mitre 10 as they have a fabulous gift section I love.

On Monday I finally sent off my SSCS over the ocean somewhere and hopefully will be at it's destination soon. I never thought I would get this finished on time. Was about 10 days late, but got there.

With this fine weather views of the mountains are getting better, though with less snow on them

Last month they looked a bit like this.

Though with the mountains comes the cold and I have never had my fire going in December, but did on Monday. It is summer here now but does not feel like it yet....waiting patiently.
