Happy Valentines Day

Just a quick update. My parcel arrived at Lynda Betts house early this week. Very pleased to hear that it did.
Today is Lynda's birthday and sending her birthday hugs as well as Valentine wishes.

I made Lynda a initial heart mug rug and sent a coffee cup and also some chocolates.

Thanks Cheryll for organising the Initial Heart swap I lived what I made and received.

1 Xmas item a month and hope my parcel arrived

It has been over a week since I sent my parcel for initial heart swap. I hope that the parcel arrived safely to my swap partner. I would hate to think she thought I didn't send anything.


Work has begun on February's Xmas item. I am making some tree decorations. I am using the thread Christine put in my Santa Sack.

Parcel in the post

Today Bridie rang me up with great excitement to tell me there was a parcel in the doorway and could she open it.

The definite answer was NO.

I was not in the door long when Bridie presented me with the parcel.
I read the sender and couldn't believe my surprise. It was Noela.  This is her blog, click HERE!
Noela has been a regular commenter on my blog and now I know why she has just recently popped up. She was my Initail Heart Secret swap partner!

Many thanks Noela for making me the gorgeous wall hanging, yummy chocolates, the red thread and the fat quarter of fabric. Now I have to make something very special with this fabric.

Thank you so much Cheryll for hosting this swap.

My parcel is in the post I hope that my recipient likes what I made just as much as I love what Noela made me.

This is what Noela sent me.

Sprinkle Love on your home and watch it bloom

This was one of the gifts from Christine. It was in my Santa Sack.
