My SSCS gift from Leanne

LOOK: This adorable gift came to me all the way from Leanne in Australia!!!
I am quite astonished, Leanne has made this lovely pincusion with lots of stitchery on it. I can see that she has put a lot work/ time into it and I will treasure it always..
She also sent me some lovely patterns togehter with some of her own cards and ofcourse the darling santa kenguru. This is far more than I excepected to receive when I first signed up at Chookyblue's Secret Santa Christmas Swap earlier this autumn. This has been my very first swap and I determined it will not be my last. I have had lots of joy and thank you so much to Chookyblue for hosting this Swap!!!

SE : Denne flotte gaven har kommet til meg helt fra Australia og Leanne. Jeg synes det er helt utrolig at noen jeg ikke kjenner kan lage noe så flott til meg. Nåleputa er bare helt nyderlig med masse flotte broderier på, du kan jo se lang vei at dette er mye jobb. Jeg vil alltid ta godt vare på denne for noe så flott kan jeg aldri lage selv. Hun har også sendt meg noe flotte mønstere og en veldig morsom nisse keguru... Jeg har fått masse flott ut av denne "swap'en" mye mer enn jeg forventet da jeg meldte meg på hos Chookyblue tidligere i høst. Jeg har hvertfall bestemt meg, dette blir ikke min siste Swap. Dette har vært morsomt og givende og tusen takk til Chookyblue for at hun var så snill og arrangerte SSCS Swap 2008.








Some lovely patterns



And this little fellow made it all the way from Australia..

Merry Christmas to you all!!

This quilt is designed by Kari Melsom.

My mother is a great knitter and made me this lovely family.

Min mor er kjempeflink til å strikke og har laget denne koselige nissefamilien.

Jeg har fått denne flott utmerkelsen fra Chevostar..
Tusen takk, du er bare kjempesnill som tenker på meg!!

Her kommer noen flotte ord om denne awarden:
Denne bloggen investerer i og tror på NÆRHET- nærhet i rom, tid og forhold!

"Disse bloggerne er usedvanlig sjarmerende og søte,og formålet er å finne og å være venner.De er ikke opptatt av utmerkelser og selvhevdelse.

Vårt håp er at når båndene på disse utmerkelser er kuttet,vil enda flere vennskap ha forplantet seg....

Jeg gir den videre til alle som stikker innom min blogg nå før jul. For dere er helskjønne alle sammen her i bloggland!!!!

My SSCS parcel has arrived all the way from Australia/ Leanne B and I feel very
lucky and almost cannot wait to open before Christmas, But I have promised to be a good girl...

Min SSCS pakke har kommet fram helt fra Australia/ Leanne B og jeg føler meg veldig heldig og jeg kan nesten ikke vente til Jul, men jeg har lovet å være snill pike...



I have done some serious fabric shopping for my black and white quilt challenge. I am quite pleased with the outcome of my shopping and I hope i might find the rest in my own stock.

Jeg har handlet stoffer litt vilt til min black and white quilt utfordring. Jeg er ganske fornøyd med blandinga på stoffene men jeg håper jeg finner resten i mitt eget lager.
