12 Days of Xmas

...Misti Ko (Dawn Livera) made this wonderful string of handstamped prayer flags for each of us. She also included her zine which talks about the tradition of prayer flags, how to make your own and online resources to check out.

Misti has invited us to string our flags up in our own yards so we can enjoy them all year long. What a great way to start the new year! Thanks Misti!

Dawn Livera (Misti Ko) wrapped her gifts ala Nick Bantock! We'll see what lies within on day 6!

...Ruth O'Connor crocheted the most exquisite lace cuff bracelets. As you can see, she made a variety of colour ways. Mine is dyed a gentle aqua blue and has deep red beads sewn around the perimeter of the focal point. The design is a flower with 10 petals and in the center of the flower is a red mother of pearl button. (I never knew there was such a thing!)



The cuff fastens with another button and somehow Ruth guessed the exact right size. It feels so soft and comfortable on. This is absolutely lovely.



We're at the half-way point and everyone is feeling incredibly spoiled! Check back tomorrow for gift #7.
