SSCS and FNFW

We've put up our Christmas  tree and my SSCS gift from Marion in Germany  is the first gift to go under it. Hooray! I love this time of year and the gifts  like these that are such a lovely expression of kindness and friendship around the world.

Of course I haven't  opened the parcel yet because I'm  a  good  girl but the lovely little ornament  is hanging  on the tree now. Thank you so much, Marion. And thanks too, as always, Chooky for again hosting  this swap that's a highlight of the year for so many of us.

Cheryll hosted FNFW  last night and my little contribution to the stitchy crafty get-together  was this cute stocking. It's  from a tutorial  on Amy Sinibaldi's blog and is a quick little make that can be embellished however you like. This one will house a gift card to be sent to my SIL. Thanks for your company, everyone!

Hello little red hen! It was lovely to see you at 'The Importance of Being Earnest' the other night was fun huh? Your blog is really lovely. Think I you the name of my fledgling blog about blogging but I've changed the name three times since then! At the moment it's called Doveton Diaries so check it out if you get a chance. Not as pretty as yours but it's a work in progress...see you soon, AP
