What Lovely things I found under the tree...

I've really enjoyed seeing your craft related gifts this year so I thought I might share my own.

Arnt I lucky!. A Cath Kidston sewing box, (which may be far to beautiful to use), an I love patchwork book, a pretty in pink pattern, plus lots of new sewing feet and bright bobbins for my machine.

It was wonderful to spend the whole day with just my husband and children. They had lots of attention and not having anyone else to entertain meant we could relax and not have to be on our best behaviour!
The only downside was that it took me 6 attempts to put a set of batteries in one of my childrens toys...far to much champagne!

I also opened up my final advent gift from Julie and was delighted to find 2 of my favourite bath balistics by Lush, a Big blue and a Twilight. I normally guess a gift from Lush but you wrapped these so well I couldnt smell a thing through the box!!! thanks Julie I've loved each and every one of my gifts from you and it was a pleasure to be your swop partner.



As for next year, I dont like to put to much pressure on myself when it comes to setting goals but a few ideas on my list include:

- Use up my scraps
- Make some wall hangings for kids rooms and sewing room
- Try paper piecing
- Now I've tried stippling, try some new FMQ designs
- Try out more features on my machine
- Make something from felt


I'm sure I will add more as and when I think of them!

Happy new year to you all.
