Gifted gorgeousness

 Helloo everyone .... hope you are all well and enjoying the run up to the big day ... pull up a chair grab a brew and some goodies left out on the side for you and enjoy the feast of delightfulness ...lol 

Soooo where do I start , the postie has been very busy at the mouse house from sending gifts out, to dropping gifts off for me ...I have sent out a couple of exchanges and the rest have been gifts , most of which I can show as they were meant to be enjoyed on the run up ... 

Today the postie dropped off a long awaited parcel which is my combined Christmas and birthday gifts off DJ and she did not disappoint from scrummy finishing trims to beautifully stitched ornaments , a fabulous sewing box , a wonderful chart from a designer we cannot buy from anywhere this side of the pond to a cute wee elf mouse ...and a lovely framed stitched piece ... I was well and truly spoilt .... 

I have also managed to get my stitchy tree up and other stitched smalls on display too ... my ornaments from DJ went straight onto the tree ... I think I may need a bigger one for next year ...lol ....so with out further ado ... photos for you ....

Christmas Blog Hop 2023

 Hellooo everyone Ho Ho Ho ....

Its the annual christmas blog hop run by Jo of Serendipitious stitching http://www.serendipitousstitching.blogspot.co.uk/

The theme this year is christmas traditions...as a child we always had tights for our stockings which would magically arrive on our door handles ... there would always be a satsuma at the bottom of the small goodies that were wrapped inside there ...

This we continued with our children when they were small but we did get them proper knitted stockings ... my grandchildren have fancy stockings with their initials on .. not made by me though ...lol as mum wanted velvet and fur... 

This year we took the grandchildren on a steam train to meet Santa and they loved it .

My stitched piece is one of the gifts I have made this year 

Hope everyone has a fantastic time however you celebrate the season and I shall be back to show the wonderful goodies I have recieved from my fabulous stitchy friends ... take care one and all and happy stitching :) love mouse xxxxx
