My SSCS gifts

 Hello everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful christmas. Ours was very quiet but oh so lovely, Hubby had to work Christmas day which was a bit of a shame unfortunately the Emergency Dept. doesn't shut  for Christmas.  We had a beautiful dinner instead of lunch which consists of turkey, ham and all the trimmings.It was delicious.
I do miss the boys getting up at the crack of dawn full of excitement like they did when they were younger but it was still fun opening all our gifts, we did a secret santa between us and it was fun to see what the boys bought. Daniel had to buy for me and he gave me a DVD that I wanted so that was good.
I loved opening up my swap gifts, the Bliss cushion is my gift for the SSCS , thankyou to Sue from New Zealand. I was so happy  to have such a pretty cushion and it goes perfect with my new bliss quilt which is almost finished. I'll share that as soon as the binding is done.
 These are the gifts I sent to my partner Oddbjorg from Norway. I was thrilled when chooky gave me her name as we have swapped before so it was like making something for a good friend.
I am on holidays for a couple more weeks which is so good. I have been sewing and pottering around the house and garden. 
I have lots more gifts to share so I'll be back tomorrow. have a great day.
