The Mail Carrier Cometh!

My husband phoned me at work yesterday to tell me I had received a parcel. When he describe the contents to me I just knew it was from my Back-Tack pal. Somehow creating for my other pal I had never quite realised that I too would be receiving something. And what a wonderful pacakge it was. Lots of goodness. Including the remaining back-tack fabric that my pal didn't use. How thoughtful! First off, a pattern for a cute day dress and some transfers for owls-of-the-week! Oooooo. Not to mention Kindersurprise which is a family favourite. Lina saw the box first when we got home and she went straight for it. "Mom did you know someone sent you a Kindersurprise?" Didn't even glance at the other stuff. Sheeesh - I might have to share.

This guy (Sunday) is my favourite I think. He looks as frazzled as I feel half the time. I think he would suit some tea towels, or a cute skirt for Lina or maybe a T-shirt for me?

Then a lovely pouch filled with more goodness. Embroidery flosses and threads and beautiful ribbons!

And then this. Well, I have to say, I receive very few handmade gifts, even though 80 percent of the gifts I give are handmade. And, well I am quite speachless. I only hope that people who receive handmade gifts from me, could only appreciate them as much as I do this. It is truly a gift. Thank you so much back-tack pal (who I now know is Hannah from Huffmania) for you did a beautiful job- it will blissfully store my crochet hooks, cable holders and knitting needles.

And coincidentally, the knitting roll that I made used the same fabric in pink. Wonderful!
