From Vickie in NT

I took part in fantastic Fee's advent swap.  I loved it. A present every day for the whole of December and a special treat for under the tree to be opened on Christmas day.  Thank you so much for letting me take part in this fabulous swap, Fee.

I was really, really lucky to have Vickie, all the way from the Northern Territory, as my partner.  All of my presents were brilliant and my special gift made me laugh with joy.  How clever to take pictures, from my blog, of my beloved little dogs and put them on a bag.  Thank you so much Vickie, the presents were so thoughtful and fabulous.

A couple of years ago my Wednesday morning sewing group purchased the kits and patterns for the 2009 Quilt Aid quilt.  We made the quilt as a charity quilt.  I've decided to remake it for myself in blues and creams - using only fabrics from my stash.  I plan to carry this sweet project around in my gorgeous bag from Vickie.

I'll be back tomorrow to show you my wonderful gifts from dear Lindi and announce a giveaway.  Can you guess why? Well this is my 499th post!

    Lovely gifts, Melody. :) A lot of thought obviously went into them. I also got some owls for Christmas. One is a solar light for the garden- a little log with a baby owl peeping out. :) 500th post tomorrow? Well done!!!
