Don’t you love it when your mail box contains pressies and not bills? I would like to have 2 mail boxes; one for the good stuff like presents and magazine subscriptions and another for the bills!! I don’t suppose I would be in a hurry to empty the bill box too often…….hmmm rethinking this idea….perhaps not so good.
Anyway, lucky for me, my mail box contained the good stuff yesterday. First there was a beautiful silver wrapped package from the lovely Kris at Tag Along Teddies. Who would have thought I would be one of the lucky recipients of the mystery silver wrapped parcels she wrote about on her blog last week?
Kris made me a hand knitted Mermaid Blue scarf to keep me warm and filled the package with yummy sachets of hot chocolates and chai tea……plus…that’s not all. There was also delicious kit kat bars too. Mmmmmm, how do you suppose she knew I like chocolate??? Ok, I do give lots of hints!!
But I do get to wear my new scarf….
Okay that photo is a bit blurry but I do have to protect my ‘International Woman of Mystery’ persona. Hmmm….not really very mysterious either. I was just rushing off to do the school run this morning. So there is my beautiful long and warm scarf – thank you Kris. You made my day!!!
Also in the post was the current issue of Handmade – Vol 25 No 12.
I have a teacup and roses project in this issue – you may remember I showed the photo of the canvas awhile back. So flicking through the magazine I come to the ‘5 Minute Chat’ page and who do you suppose is chatting with readers this month…..ok stop trying to guess…..it is me. I did the interview so long ago I had forgotten about it and there it is this month. Nothing particularly interesting there….well nothing you probably don’t already know from reading my blog.
Finally got the Christmas Collection uploaded to the website yesterday…huge relief!! Just have to fill the orders now. I wonder if you can guess which of the 12 projects was the most popular? I can usually pick which one it will be. I get a vibe about a certain project and then I run them by my students who are always happy to give their critique and even make suggestions….thank you Vikki, yours was a winner for the stocking canvas. But sometimes, one just pops out of left field. If you would like to check out all of the new projects click here to visit my Christmas pages. My new Newletter is also up with lots of news and information click here.
Until next time,
Hugs,

Hey Kerryanne! You’re very welcome!! Us warm-weather-wonders have to stick together to make it through the nasty cold months of winter!! And don’t you look just so toasty in your Mermaid scarf!! Melbourne being Melbourne, I’m sure you’ll get use out of it all year round! Tee! Hee! Hee! And I’ll now have to go get a copy of Handmade. I looked at it the other day and thought I would be good and restrict my magazine purchases this month – just blew that, as I loved the canvas you showed the sneaky peek of. Man – I’ve GOT to learn how to paint so I can do all of these brilliant projects you keep brewing up in your magic-making studio!! Have a great (warm!) day!! Bear Hugs! KRIS (Tag Along Teddies)
wOW! Lucky lil ol’ you!!
AS for your chrissy range they are all too cute!
And i too will now have to buy that mag..
Take care stay warm
Oh…I love packages in the mail. I guess that’s why I’m addicted to ebay!! That was a great package though and perfect for the miserable day.
I love seeing magazines from other countries too. I think some time we should have a magazine swap with people from another country.
Thank you for your ideas for my umbrella…I love the idea of wrapping it in lights.
How exciting to receive a surprise package.Just what you need to get thru a cold winters day.I also look forward to Summer as we in Mittagong have been having some cold blistering days with the occasional snow.Brrrr!Have a great time enjoying your package.
WOW!! Lucky you chickie!!
Have an awesome weekend!!
