It's Christmas already - Part II

I had the pleasure of being partnered with Fiona in the Santa Sack Swap organised by the lovely Cheryll

We swapped a few emails and some information and I stalked her blog for a while ;-)
Fiona commented that she like useful things, so here is what I sent her

I made a nice sturdy functional santa sack, big enough to carry a few bottles of wine

A matching card holder and notebook cover

  a charm for a zipper pull or scissor fob

 cross stitch kit and owl charm

 my first pin cushion and needle case - made from the scraps one of my first block swaps

some red embroider threads, ribbon and ric rac

some Asian influenced fabric

 

An armchair caddy - with some needlework goodies - this was my first attempt at something like this and I was so pleased with my effort

I have since improved on my binding skills

some lovely tea bags were included in the first parcel.

I am glad Fiona liked what I sent.

Thank you for visiting my blog today - I hope you have a good day.

It's Christmas already ;-)

I had the pleasure of being partnered with Fiona in the Santa Sack Swap organised by the lovely Cheryll

here is the santa sack loaded with goodies - it was so very hard to look at it everyday and not open it ;-)

a gorgeous candlemat and candle

a charm pack - which is rather cute and so me, since I have spent most of my working life in front of a typewriter and now a computer ;-)

coasters

some really useful goodies

and some goodies to make - I hope I can do them justice (oops, how did that coaster slip in there?)

table runner, hot pad and hand towel

scissor case and scissors

The crowning glory ;-) 

this wall hanging is absolutely gorgeous!

 

needle case is just devine!

pin cushion with pins

already in use ;-)

 I was just so flabbergasted as I opened parcel after parcel of absolute gorgeousness!  Thank you Fiona, for being such a thoughtful and generous partner in this swap, and thank you to Cheryll for organising this swap again this year.  I will definitely be taking part next year and I have already started planning for it ;-)

I will do another post with pics of what I have sent to Fiona tomorrow.

Santa Sack received ;-)

My Santa Sack/Bag has arrived from the gorgeous Fiona

This photo does not do this item justice ;-)

The fabric has a luxurious feel to it, the embroidery is exquisite and the workmanship is just beautiful!

It is going to be very difficult to look at this and not want to use it before Christmas - I keep on touching and stroking it ;-)

And all the goodies inside, well that is another story ;-)
