My Christmas in July swap package arrived today! Now the suspense is over, I know who was secretly making me something special. It's Bec of Oh Sew Busy! She sent me the most wonderful packages all the way from Australia. She really spoiled me. She sent so much! Someone was quite interested in this package the minute I started to open it.
Back off Mr. Precious it's mine!!
Here are my treasures:
This great chunky stocking. It's so cute! And each wrapped package was tucked inside.
I love the hand stitching. So sweet!
Inside there was a kind card, with two little packages for my girls.
Little tins with lavender tape measures inside. My girls love them!
Then there were these adorable hand embroidered tag ornaments, one for each member of my family! I can't wait to hang these on our Christmas tree.
She even sent me some gorgeous charm squares, rusty bells, and a sweet button. These all sent my mind into 'what to create' mode. I want to see if I can come up with a project that includes all of them together.
And apparently Bec is trying to keep me from my goal of a smaller jean size.
We have a date later this evening, me and Mr. Dairy Milk Rocky Road. Oh yea.
Now, as you can see Bec went above and beyond with her gifts. But she wasn't done yet. Just look at this!!
A little quilt to hang on the wall! Isn't it adorable?!? And more importantly, is it too early to hang it up?
I'm totally humming "Joy to the World" right now. I can't help it. I have a feeling I'll be humming it on my date with Mr. Dairy Milk Rocky Road tonight too... and I'll most likely have a chocolate moustache.
Mr. Precious is also enjoying his gift.
And now, to prove Bec is the sweetest person in the world, here is another gift she sent.
Oh my, this was so thoughtful! A perfectly lovely vintage apron.
Isn't it just gorgeous? Wow.
I can't believe all of these goodies fit in that stocking! Thank you so much Bec, I really appreciate all of your thoughtfulness and careful stitching. I truly treasure each thing that you added to my gift. I can't wait for Christmas to display all of my wonderful treasures! Oh who am I kidding, I'm totally keeping them all out. Can you blame me?
Thank you so much Bec!! And also thank you to Linda and Stephanie (my tea buddy) for hosting such a fun swap.
Now I have to go get ready for my date.. x
