Secretly, silently...

...the postie visited.  I didn't hear the doorbell, but yesterday when I went outside to feed the birds I found a parcel on my doorstep.  Inside was the biggest Santa Sack I've ever seen


and two lovely presents to pop inside.


Fee must know how much I adore presents when she sewed my bag for me - it is truly enormous.


I told John I want him to fill it to the brim with goodies.  He looked pretty horrified - he hates shopping.  Luckily we have a system that works really well here.  All through the year I look out for lovely little things - often fabric, I buy it, wrap it and give it to him.  He hides it in his shed, where I won't go as he has the biggest spider friends who live in there.  At Christmas time I have a whole heap of presents which makes me super happy. (I've often forgotten what's inside each package, so some of them are even surprises).  He's very happy too as he hasn't had to go near the shops.


I know this is greedy of me, in fact it makes me a gimme pig (a term invented by lovely Michelle Ridgeway - hope you are having a wonderful trip, Michelle) but I can't help it - I just love pressies.
Huge thanks to Fee,  I'll show you what I sewed for her once I'm sure it has arrived.

  10. I enjoyed reading this post Melody, such a fun idea for your gifts. I may have to think about doing that as my hubby isn't really into gift buying either!
