From Nela

I am allowed to stay up late as because we are on holiday so I wanted to show this amazing bag that Nela from Venezuela has made for me. I got it last week before our holiday and I think it is great and I love it soooooooooooooooo much!! I can't believe she made something as nice even my Mum said she couldn't do all this !!

Here is a close picture to show you how she put my name on with beads and the knitted toggles. It has roses on it at the top proper pully things to open and close it and loads and loads of charms :-)))




Now you can see one of the many pockets this one is cross stitched and had ribbon flowers and charms as well so many many pretty things for me to see, do you love it too??




This is not all... Nela sent me ALL these girly girly things for me to have!! I have got pens, pencil charms, beads, rubber, notebook, hair bobbles a brooch and many more you can see them here. Just fantastic I am soooooooo LUCKY and I do say I LOVE them ALL and Nela is SOOOOOOOO KIND !!




This is all because Nela wanted to spoil me as she is very happy to see that I am starting stitching :-))) I can hardly believe it. Here you can see my bag again as I can't stop looking at it I think you might be the same. So Aunty Su now you can see what we told you about LOL.




I am spoilt my Mum says but she is very happy like me and can't believ it either....then today I got another present!! I got something lovely from her friend Colette when things came for my Mum. I will put that on my blog next time for you to see.

I do a bit of Spanish at school and Nela is Spanish speaking so for you Nela sorry if I have got it wrong but I want to say for you to read xxx

I love my present, it's a surprise...thanks thanks thanks xxxxxxxx

I sent you a card Nela hope you get it soon :-)))

My exchange TO Katie

I put alot of efert into making it and my favourite bit on it is the bows and the stitching. I made a needle roll and put the lace on the ends myself with my own idea. I did it all on the sewing machine and it was good fun stuffing it like a hotdog then I rolled it like plasterscene. I surprised my Mum with what I did.




This is the back........




Did you guess it is a Mary Kirby?? I had 2 of France so I kept the one from Carols present and used my other for Katie. Thats why I chose this one from my stash to do. I want to do mine now to go with the pinkeep.




I sent Katie some presents to they are on her blog she liked this exchange as much as me so we are both happy :)

I have something else to show you which will be on my blog soon. Please leave a comment if you like our first exchange.

Look down from this and you will see Katies to ME :))

Katies Exchange TO Me :))

I have really enjoyed doing this exchange with Katie and I am really happy with what she has made me . I love the big fat strawberry it looks like it has got wings :) We couldn't figure out what it was at first by the thing at the bottom then my Mum said oh how lovely it is called a flat fold. I like the way it stands up like a card. The main colour on it is red and that is one of my favourite colours so Katie guessed right!! I think I know why Katies Mum deid the aida as it is similar to the colour of my blog.




Here you can see it sideways and the way it stands up the fabric on the back is black and strawberryish the picture at the bottom shows you all the exchange as I got some presents. I got 4 pieces of aida and some differnt colour threads. I am happy to have some more stash :)




I hope you like to see what I got as much as I did to get it you can leave me a comment if you want. Mine has got there as well so I will show you that next.
This has been a very special day for me

THANK-YOU xx
