Lots to see here!

You might have been thinking I haven't been stitching much lately but you'd be wrong, as well as secret squirrelling and making a swap pressie or two I've done a little iphone pouch...

(one day I might actually own a smart phone!)

...and I stitched the borders on my Tis the Season quilt

It's my evening embroidery mojo that has gone on a wee holiday, it'll be back soon but it came back briefly this week to do Helen's Stitched Sunday project (forget to take a photo). Even though I know these stitches, I thought I might join in and see if there's something I don't know.

I also caught a cooking bug yesterday (very unlike me) after reading Kerryanne's post about Sticky Date Pudding, guess what I made for desert last night...

...it was easy and so delicious too!

I took part in Trashy's "Where I Live Swap" and a parcel was at my door last night from Jennyflower and look at the beautiful contents....

a gorgeous bag made by her Mum, using recycled fabrics and embellished beautifully....

...and just look what was inside the bag, all these wonderful goodies, except for the chockies, they were gobbled up by my family before I could go snap!

Jenny's theme was based on England and all things british like old cottage gardens, tea and cakes!

It smelt beautiful when I opened the package!!

Thank-you Jenny I love all the gifts, you've put so much thought into them.

My swap package for Clara must still be flying across the ocean but I'll let you know when it's reached it's destination.
