12 Days of Xmas

...Barbara Atwell gifted each of us with a gorgeous linen and cotton pincushion. Each one had a fabric covered button or two attached as well. (She made these as well!)

The reason this is being posted in the New Year is that this little gem got caught up in the holiday rush and the posties just managed to put it into my hands this afternoon. Ah well...a gift is always welcome, no matter when it arrives. Thanks Barbara for patiently waiting for your gift to be shared here.

Be sure and pop back here tomorrow for the final wrap up of our 2010 exchange. I have a couple lovely hostess gifts I'd like to share with you.

Caren McNee created a beautiful handmade ornament for each of the ladies in group 1. She hand crochet little bags to hold each of them.


Inside was this amazing handpainted, folded ornie that tells the story of her life and love of South Africa. (She now lives in NZ.)

On the back it says "Come and share my world... nature, home, friends and dreams of Africa".
It can be displayed freestanding or hung from the ribbon.


Liz Smith created this wee chunky note books for the ladies in group 2.
