SSCS Received and sent..................

Look at this gorgeous wall hanging...............Dagmar @ Quilts and More in Germany excelled...............she sent to me in the Secret Santa Christmas Swap (SSCS) this year............

She sure does follow my blog doesn't she.........you must check out her photo shoot with the quilt here.......looks like she had fun.......

"Lamby and friends"..........

I'm pretty sure is it Lamby, Goatie and Lamby's lamb.............

some Christmas serviettes which were put straight to use............and a fat 1/4 of Paris fabric...........thankyou so much..........

&&&&&&

And onto what I sent for the SSCS to Gail @ Gail' Place in the USA..............

Gail is making a Lucy Boston quilt too...........so I got some 1/2 inch pieces and made a block...........and then made it into a needle book and hand quilted 1/2 and 1in Lucy shapes into it..........

Then I made a home for Lucy............while she is growing she needs a home.............I've had this lovely elegant print for awhile now and thought it would be perfect for this bag.....Lucy is very special......I fussy cut two big vases (front and back) and added some linen............

Now once Lucy starts to get joined she can live in here...........

Thankyou once again to both Dagmar and Gail for being part of the Secret Santa Christmas Swap............and to all the SSCS girls I look forward to seeing all your posts of gifts............i'll be calling around soon.........

Catch you later.......

SSCS ornament sent...............

Gail receives my parcel this year in the Secret Santa Christmas Swap..............

you can find Gails blog here @ Gail's Place...........

Always wonderful to know your parcel has arrived.............

No peeking in that main present yet Gail............hope it is safe under the Christmas tree.............

Thanks heaps to Janice @ Jannimary who showed me how to make this little beauty..............It was fun making our ornaments together..........and I only just realised she showed me how to make mine to send to Gail and Gail was her Secret Santa..............

Life is a little out of control........stinking hot (run of 40deg) and super busy..........

So now I will say Merry Christmas my fellow blog readers just incase I don't get back here............And apologise in advance as I cannot see myself having time to comment on your Christmas posts even if I do get to read them........But know I am wishing you all the best no matter what may happen I hope you have some special time with family and/or friends...........

Catch you later.......

SSCS participants.........

this year we didn't have any new people..............everyone has done the swap previously......many numerous times..........some every year.......so makes it easy for organising.......slightly challenging for organising swap partners......but it worked out well.............

the list of girls is up above on the page link tabs.......

or I added it here SSCS 2017........

Catch you later...... Chookyblue.....

Sscs ornament.....

My Secret Santa Christmas Swap (SSCS) arrived in the mail all the way from Germany...............its always terribly exciting when your parcel arrives...........and mine arrived in two separate boxes............

Dagmar @ Quilts and More sent to me...........

Look at this gorgeous ornament...........

sorry not the best photo but it kept spinning around and the mozzies were biting me..........this is the best of the pics.........

no decorations out here yet.........with life a little overwhelming its difficult to get into the Christmas mood...........but what a burst of joy this little parcel brought............

now i'll keep my main present safe and there are a couple of extra parcels in the box...........thankyou so much Dagmar............

Catch you later.....
