Yes its time!!!

OMG!!  Yippppeeeee!!!

I participated in  the Christmas in July swap held by Kim... and a wonderful job she has done too :)  Thank You its been so much fun.

Well as you all know my secret parcel from my partner arrived early and as I could not be trusted not to open it :(  Jon hid it away!  Now let me tell you.. it took some convincing for him to let me have it today as he thought he had to hang onto it until December!! Nooooo!!! ha ha

And who was my secret partner?.... 

It was Angela from pretty little things in a box

Well look at the wonderful gifts I received in the swap...

My parcel had come a long way..

ooohh....

Inside...
How cute its a sheep!!! :)  OMG!!!

Ooohh... pretty, very pretty...

Such pretty things.. delicate crotchet things and oooh a pretty jingly garland to hang up at Christmas :)  

Wonderful things, Thank You ever so much Angela :)

And what I sent out to my secret partner... (I can post a photo as I know they have received it!)

This is the first time I have ever made anything for Christmas.... in this way so it was a challenge for me but I enjoyed it :)

Just hope my secret partner likes them too...

I also added a few bits in the parcel and a Christmas card!! ha ha 

Yesterday I had to nip out at 5.45 pm and got in my car and OMG!! I had to take a photo of the temperature thing in the car....

Really crazy weather we are having here in England right now... 

And again today the weather is lovely, bright blue sky and all my windows are open again... its scorchio!!

Yesterday I did more Happy stitching on my Blue Ribbon design... its coming along nicely :)  I also got slightly distracted whist looking at Lesley Teare's  web page.. such wonderful designs. .. so I had to stitch one! ha ha a 

Here is what I stitched yesterday,.... I could not put it down!!  And as a result I finished it!

The start...

I think its very pretty and just love it :)

Not sure what to do with it yet... I just like it!

As the weather is just so ho and sticky I just dont feel much like eating.. I have been nibbling and this is one of this things I nibbled on yesterday!

I just sit, pop them open and munch the peas! mmmm

So I think I have taken enough of your time up!!

Oooh one last thing...

Nancy over at Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppee is having a bit of a celebration!  Its Nancy's birthday and she thought it a good idea for a giveaway!

Yipppeeeeee I say!!!

Head on over there and check it out!  If your not in it.... you cannot win it!!

I am off to find another project to stitch! ha ha 

Smiles to you all :)
