Magic #13

12/24/2010
And last, but certainly not least, Penelope Harris used a newfound skill to create these amazing plaster plaques for each of us. This was the gift each of us opened on the day when everyone else was opening our gift. Thanks Penn for being our Magic #13!

Lucky number 13 comes to us from Penelope Harris! It's a weighty little package...I wonder what's inside?

On the Thirteenth Day of Xmas...

12/24/2009

...Penelope Harris gifted us with this handy monogrammed sewing kit. It has everything you'd need to do some quick sewing or repairs-needles, threaders, thread, floss a tracing wheel and more!



She made the cover from vintage shirting fabric she found in the UK, cardboard and felt which she button stitched all together. She hand embroidered our initial on the front. The pages inside are also made from felt and are embellished with ribbon. She added a button and elastic closure. I am sure we'll all be using these kits! Thanks Penn!



Technically, there is no "day" 13 of Xmas, but gift #13 is the present we opened on the day everyone else was opening our gift. I came up with this extra "day" to ensure that no one had a day where they didn't have something to enjoy. Thanks Penn for being our magical #13 this year!

Parade of Presents, Magical Number 13

12/11/2009


Why 13? Well the secret is that I came up with a "spare" gift so that on the day when everyone else is opening yours, there's a gift for you to open!


We don't reveal what magical #13 is till the very end because it needs to stay a surprise for everyone! The ever-clever Penelope Harris has the honour of making that gift this year.
