First Up: I'd like to share with you my Biscornu Basket...which is really just a "french bread" basket and I made a "liner" for it without further ado, here it is...isn't it cute?! Love them all ...those little goodies in there :)
Next Up: Today I received my first Crazy Exchange! Janaina must of taken a liking to me and this is all the goodies she sent to me:
A super biscornu and fob featuring my initial and on the back her signature and location and year...LOVE IT and she was also good enough to send me the most lovely letter and two chocolates to try from her homeland Brazil, two lovely green Anchor flosses and some thread bobbins...what a great surprise! Thank you so much Janaina! I don't know if she has a blog, but I will certainly let you know once I find out!
Then I got another package today...this one was from Melissa. She had e-mailed me to see if I would want some empty tins she had...as she said she had lots of them...well apparently! As look at this that I opened up today!:
Watch out! I'm going to be making up a lot of these cuties in a few months!Lastly I received the Stitching Bloggers Birthday gift from Patti This is the biscornu that she made me....isn't it lovely?!
Here's all the loot I got from Patti.....
Thank you so much Patti, I enjoyed the lot of it! :)

Thank you so much Patti, I enjoyed the lot of it! :)I've lots to be thankful for and one of them is for stitching friends and blogging. I've never stitched as much as I have this year and it is simply because I'm inspired to do so by all you clever ladies out there. I am lucky to be a member of this vast community. Thank you!
Until next time....stitch with dancing fingers :)
