What is it?
Ok you twisted my arm........ i'll show you ....
Vintage Christmas by LHN
Fabric 32ct linen in cocoa, but I've changed a couple of the threads
Three more little stockings for family members have flown off the knitting needles too. These will have a lovely treat of a little bar of Thorntons special chocolate inside. A little treat for family who I usually just exchange a card with. We've done some extra special things together this year and I feel I would like to show them how much I love them with a little handmade giftie.
My parcel arrived today. I'd been admiring these little sleds on a blog recently and thought how nice it would be to get one and make it for my tree for next year. Lo and behold that's what was in my exchange parcel. Thank you so much 'Secret Stitcher' I love it. Just need to get hubby to venture into the attic and get the Christmas decorations down so I can put it on the tree, for now it's sitting on my mantelpiece so I can admire it... it makes me smile every time I look at it.
I know the one I made has been received, i'll show you that when the list has been published. I don't want to spoil the surprise just in case the person reads here, it's a secret .... ssshhh.
I hope you are progressing well with your festive organising. For me, it's slow going, motivation seems to be lacking at present, but I don't seem to be in a panic either, I keep telling myself we still have plenty of time ......
How fun and sweet. I too have been admiring those sleds.
ReplyDeleteI notice the Alfred Mainzer cat postcard. Have you seen the poodle varieties? ;)
Ohhh I never seen such a little sleigh for a stitching piece, what fun that is and so beautiful ... you lucky girl !!!
ReplyDeleteI love the little stockings and Vintage Christmas ... I hope you enjoy stitching that one, I did when i made it. I changed the colors also in red and blue ;-)
Such a cute new start, Julie, and I dearly love the little snowman sled you received. I got one at my stitching retreat as a gift in October and can't wait to see it on my tree this month :)
