Happy New Year
These are some lovely gifts I have received, I love them so much they're gorgeous and were all surprises which made them better.
Thank-you very much to my Gran for making this gift just before Christmas. My Stocking is so brilliant and has lots of charms on it, my brother got one as well. My Gran put bells on them too. This is really special and holds a lot of presents LOL it is by Shepherds Bush. I am going get a better picture of this on here as soon as I can as you can't really tell what it is like and the lovely colours.
I entered a contest on Annemaries blog to help name her needlecase thingy, somebody else won but because I did a lot of names and worked hard on thinking them up, I got a gift too. Isn't she very kind to do that for me :) I like this picture as it shows the pale blue background colour of the linen.
This ornament is from Colette and is very pretty, it is not stitched but VERY lovely anyway. It has soft brown velvet on the back and different colour beads which are my favourite colours. My Mum tells me the colours I like are soft autumn ones. I wanted this on the tree we had on our table right over Christmas and New Year so I could see it all the time. It looked lovely, it was pointing towards me //..\\ Now I am going to put it into my bedroom.
Thank-you very much for these beautiful gifts , I got a thread like lots of other ladies from Secret Blogging Santa in the colour 'Santa Red'.
I also have got a lovely pack , so did my brother, of goodies from Leena who sent my Mum an exchange.
I appreciate all of you giving them to me xoxoxo I know I am very lucky and I know how long things take to make.

Happy New Year to you too, Amy!! Your Gran and Annemarie stitched you some gorgeous gifts and Colette's ornament is so sweet!! I hope you find something wonderful to stitch with that secret Santa Red... ;o)... Have a great start to 2008!
Glad you liked the ornie, Amy! Your Gran stitched a beautiful stocking for you. You're a lucky gorl!
Happy New Year to you and your family!
I know how wonderful Grans stocking is as I saw it IRL, but I never saw those other lovely ornaments you received, An's to you is so lovely and Colettes is a treasure.
Happy New Year again Amy.
Love Aunty Su
p.s. I love your siggie.
Oh my Amy...your Gran did such a lovely job! It is a beautiful stocking and big too...I bet it DOES hold a lot of presents :)
All the other ladies made you excellent presents as well...isn't it so exciting to know so many people all over the world? You're a lucky girl!
Everything is just gorgeous! I especially love the stocking your grandmother did for you. It's wonderful. Lucky you :-). Have a happy new year with lots of stitching.
Hi Amy,
The stocking your grandmother made for you is beautiful! I also love all the charms and bells. They make it so special.
The little ornament of the man pulling the tree is wonderful - so Scandinavian looking.
And, the third one? Like you I think it is magnificent. Isn't Colette so clever to make the beaded trim. It is gorgeous!
Wonderful gifts Amy!
Happy New Year Amy! You've received wonderful gifts, they are all very pretty! Thank you SO much for the lovely note I received, it was such a great surprise :) Please say thank you to your brother too :)
Happy New year! your blog is just lovely :)
Happy New Year Amy. Hope 2008 brings you a little more time so you can do more of your lovely stitching.
More beautiful gifts & what a wonderful stocking - lucky you! :0)
Wow Amy,
What lovely presents you received this Christmas. The stocking your Gran made will be something you can keep forever, it is sooo beautiful. I love your ornament from Annemarie too, how nice to see Merry Christmas in so many different languages. The pretty little ornament from Colette is so unusual and doesn't have to be put away but can be enjoyed all year round. Talking of enjoying, I bet you and your bro enjoyed the treats from Leena.
I hope you have a really happy 2008and do lots more stitching and blogging. I really enjoy paying you a visit :>)
Best wishes, Angela (a good friend of your Auntie Su's :>)
