these 'surprise' packages arrived in the mail on Friday...
and what do you think might be inside???
not one, but THREE beautifully stitched LOVELIES in the shape of a sweet little pincushion, a gorgeous needlebook and an adorable drawstring bag, for my sewing bit & bobs...
lovely, lovely, lovely surprises...but there's more!!!..a lovely card and yummy fabric with matching floss..mmmmmmmm!!!
so i guess you're wondering who these generous gifts are from and why??..well they're from my 'secret' stitching angel Dzintra...THANK you sssooo much Dzintra!!!
A few months ago we both signed up to take part in a :secret stitchers' angel: swap which meant we had to make three stitched goodies for our swap partner amd mail them by the end of October.
I've also made three stitched goodies for my angel 'T' who lives in the States..so as soon as 'T' let's me know that her package has arrived then i'll be happy to show you what i made for her but until then you'll just have to be content with this.....
A huge THANK you to Helen for doing a FABULOUS job organizing this swap..two years running!!
Hi Marian...how exciting to see that your goodies arrived safely...I'm so happy you like them...I was a bit nervous as this was my first ever swap...but I have loved doing it!!! Hugs to you, Dzintra♥x
