'Cozy night in' swap....

I've finally opened my swap..... I think me & Pixiedust @ Faerie Nuff are the last ones......

As you can see it was beautifully wrapped.....







I love the hot water bottle... just the right size for sitting in front the TV... I always use a hot water bottle as I don't like putting the central heating on unless it's freezing!!







Can you see the little lantern??? .. It looked so cozy on my mantle piece last night... also some soap which smelt good.... and some chocolate....sorry all gone now!!!

And last but not least some lavender cushions..... I've made so many lavender bags for gifts that I ran out of lavender to make one for me so I'm very pleased with this gift.

More gifts coming soon.........


Happy boxing day......

    LOL about the pants.....how great thay sound, must tell my sis, she is going to town tomorrow, she loves russian dolls!

    The shop is def better than the website....I had some capital bonds to use as well....so i got a bit more, cos selfridges take them...
    i was so chuffed with the boxes...they are made of tough board very sturdy....perfect for keeping craft stuff in....should have got more!

  11. I've been reading the book myself, great for kids and just as good for adults. She also had the cooking one LOOK AND COOK which is just as good.
    Rich uses a sewing machine at work so he's going to teach both of us. Will let you know how it goes, apparently the best way to learn is by drawing lines on paper and run it through the machine, minus the cotton which is good as I don't have a clue how to thread it up.
    Take care
    Hugs
