Fabulous Stitcher's angel parcel

It was so exciting to receive this parcel in the mail yesterday from my very generous Stitcher's angel, Gladys, from Argentina! She was so kind and made me so many lovely gifts. I was and still am overwhelmed.

This was the letter sent in Spanish! As I don't read spanish I will have to wait to catch up with my lovely translator, Marianela, so she can tell my what Gladys has said.

Gladys even included some gifts for Marianela as she helped me to translate some emails earlier on. How kind is that?

There was this lovely decoration made with felt.

There were some lovely little "smelly" parcels.

Then there were all these lovely gifts, The beautiful stitched needlecase, the scissor keeper, some threads, some gorgeous wooden buttons and some special serviettes.

And that's not all! Gladys also made this lovely bag and this great journal.

I feel so lucky and privileged to have such a special Stitcher's angel. Thank you so much, Gladys.

More of Sue's knitted dolls

Here are 3 more of the lovely knitted dolls that Sue has made for her grandies. What lucky kids.

A lovely package arrived yesterday from my special Stitcher's angel, Gladys, from far across the sea! Will post some pictures tomorrow. I am off soon to teach the Christmas class at Hobbysew. It should be a fun day.

Stitcher's angel gifts received and some show and tell

Just heard from Cheryl-Lee and she has received her stitcher's angel gifts from me. Here they are and I did add some Roses chocolates too. Hope they hadn't melted as they went to such a warm place. I am so glad Cheryl-Lee is enjoying them.

As always, we had a lovely time on Wednesday at stitching. Jan is finishing off this great quilt for her grandson, Josh.

I told you all about visiting AK Traditions in Melbourne recently and here is little Nathaniel holding the body of one of their lovely dolls. His grandma, Sue, knitted it for her daughter, Audrey.

Here she is. Sue is a lovely knitter but came this morning for a crochet lesson. I had forgotten how easy it is though not so easy to teach! Sue is doing really well and will be able to crochet the little flowers for the clothes soon.

Here are her gorgeous clothes. Makes me want to knit though it is a bit warm here at the moment for knitting.

A little gift and some stitching

Margaret, from the Wednesday night class, has just come back from a wonderful trip to Europe and went on a fabulous river cruise (it is on my list of things to do one day!). She visited Rottenburg's Christmas shop and brought us back this lovely little Santa decoration. He is so cute.

Because we have been travelling in the car so much recently I HAD to find some hand stitching to do! So, I have gone against my rule that I wasn't starting anymore BOMs till the others are made up. Oh dear! I couldn't resist starting Lynette Anderson's Crazy Christmas BOM. Here is Block 1.

Here is block 2 partly done.

I managed to send my Stitcher's angel gifts last Friday and will share those after my secret friend receives them, hopefully this week.
