Merry Christmas!
I have been a bit MIA this season....I think I have achieved a personal best - only three posts in the month of December - so far! My New Year's Resolution shall be to do much better...more posts that is ;)
But luckily a couple of Bloggy friends did not forget that I am still here - even if I have been a bit quiet...
My Christmas tree was exploding with color with this special bag sitting underneath...
Just the bag was enough to get me excited! I am so lucky that I have people who think of me when visiting Liberty! And inside I found the most precious Liberty notion...
A jar full of buttons with a pincushion lid...how clever!
Thank you Clare for thinking of me this Christmas! You are truly one of Santa's most gifted elves...
tucked inside the bag was a sweet little crochet star...
and there was a package of yummy candy, but that hardly made it to Ohio before it was gobbled up!
Clare, you helped make my Christmas very Merry and Bright!
And from a land far away, another package landed on my doorstep. A dear friend who has helped me in a difficult year...
I love getting packages from Susan! I always know there is something very special inside...
A fabulous cushion cover! Perfectly pieced and hand stitched! How special....I am so lucky!
And if the design, the stitching and the fabrics are not enough...nestled in the center is a group of lovely buttons....
'tis the season of buttons!
Thank you dear friends :)
Since the hustle and bustle of Christmas has calmed a bit, I found the time to do a bit of applique...
The Flowering Vine!
More to come...
Merry Christmas
