Coming home from swimming in Pakenham with Jane and the kids, swung past the post office to get the mail, and blow me down if there's not TWO schmancy parcels all for me!
I knew what this one was - fun Little Red Rding Hood
Rosapomar ribbon for more skirts...
But the second one was my package for the
Christmas swap! I saved it up til after the kids were in bed! This...
...became this! Wow! I was so excited! I felt like Christmas had come early, which it had!!!
A handmade card, chocolate candy, hot chocolate, fabric, a ceramic heart made by women in Sth Africa, quilting pins, sock yarn, bamboo dpns, a sock pattern, a bag pattern, a story, AND....
...my very first ever pair of hand-knit socks! I feel bowled over by
Kristina's generosity! I love them! They fit me perfectly, so much so that I feel like Cinderella wearing the glass slippers!
I haven't taken them off yet! Thank you soooo much, Kristina, my Norwegian friend - you're ace!

How fun! You're starting to make me think I should sign up for one of these things. :)
I'm so pleased that you love the parcel I made for you:) The socks are knitted in a yarn called Arwetta, I love the feeling of this yarn. I feel so proud to be the first to give you a handmade pair of socks:)
Hope you will get a very nice time preapering for Christmas:)
From your Christmas swap friend in Norway, Kristina
