I joined Chooky again this year for SSCS .
this year I received a big parcel from Martine B all the way from France..
I was allowed to open the square gift on the top left hand side ....
Look at the sweet little cushion with the cute hedgehog holding a star Martine made for me..
It will be difficult not to open the other gifts till Christmas day...
Huge thank you Martine for my gifts and also Chooky for organising the swap with her Elf helper Denice...

For the last FnwFs of the year I joined the lovely Cheryll and friends while visiting my DD and family......
It is always special to be able to spend a FnwFs in my DD craft room.....
While Sandra sewed costumes I traced a free Christmas stitchery Michelle kindly shared with us and also started making this felt Santa ornament....
I enjoyed a visit with my sister , went shopping and of course going to Miss Maud's for Princess cake with my DD and GD
enjoying my GDs dance concert on Saturday and today it was time for the drive home ...
BUT I don't know why I always seam to come home with a pile of stuff from DD craft room.....
An unfinished Baby Quilt , left over FQ bundle, pieces of fabric , tin of beads and felt ornaments a friend gave her ?????
Hmm... you'd think I have enough stuff in my own Cave.....
It's time now to make a cuppa and check out with others have done for FnwFs ...
Happy Stitching

looks like fun times to me! and I laugh every time dd sends you home with a bundle of goodies.
ReplyDeleteHi Maria i was sure i commented on this post ealier,not sure what is going on,lol,love your secret santa gift and i love Michelle's design xx
ReplyDeleteYour new banner is oh-so-festive! What do you use to make your collages? And what's not to love about coming home with stuff from someone else's craft room - especially when there's fabric involved?? I didn't sign up for FNWF since I've been so bad about posting lately.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great weekend - I admire your restraint in not opening all the gifts at once! x
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that Christmas hedgehog! What a sweet Santa ornament!
How lovely to return home with goodies, like an early Christmas!
How good you are not opening all your pressies at once ..... how exciting!
Interesting cake! You might have liked the tiramisu cheesecake, I had when we were out yesterday, it was delicious ..... shame, didn’t take a piccy!
Love the sweet doggie in your Xmas banner!
