And dont stress ..it will be Christmas anyway!!!

(This is what I have been saying to myself for several weeks now...lol..

do you think it has helped...;o)

Surprised....

..that is just the first name...

I have been fooled by a much more sneaky person than myself.. and I who thought I was sneaky with my giveaway...lol..

Oh ..this started quite a while ago...

with me mailing and admiring a pattern  she had sewn...

and oh yes she said.. that she happily would send me the pattern when she was finished with it...

So I waited... :o)

and then one day ...she had some items for sale on her blog...

and I loved especially one fabric range she had for sale...

"Anticipation" by Sandy Gervais...

but ohh... it would cost a a large sum of money just to send...

So I had to let it go...

And then she said...

I have a better idea.. and you wont be disappointed...

Ok I said... :o)

And ..

SURPRISE!!!!!

this came....

from who...

oh yes the one and only

Darlene

at Quilting Daze..... :o)

She had some charms to send me...

Oh Happy Days...:o)

Oh.. they might be used for a Schnibble some month..:o)

And so this grand surprise...

She gave away her quilt...

with the hens I had  admired...

(no pattern.. the QUILT!!!! )

HUH !!!

Oh my goodness.. this is so wonderful....and

I really dont know what to say...

Im so touched...

 with all my heart..I want say

 thank you Darlene 

for your wonderful gift!!!

You sure surprised me!!! :o)

But hey ...there was something more...

What a day and what a boost I got...

I actually sewed with a smile...and finished up some gifts ...

and yesterday they went  in the mail... :o)

And today I got a package too in the mail...

and Im still patting this one...

I havent decided if I shall open or save for Christmas...

Any way... I have promised not to show anyway...

so You just have to wait and see after Christmas...

but I can look..lol...

Hope that is ok..Pat...;o)

A Lovely red Heart for Christmas...it is so pretty...

Thank you Louise...

May Britt...

Thank you so much... May Britt!

And when I opened this one.. I thought....

had it at the beginning of the week..lol..

But on the other hand...

they are to pretty to use..;o)

Thanks Hanne..

will keep them in my bag.. for emergencies...:o)

And Marica..

A pincushion to match my scissor case from first Sunday...and pins....

and a lovely little kit to make a gorgeous bag...

Think she knows me too well.. this way ...maybe it wont be placed in my drawer for pretty things... with things I cant decide on to do with..:o)

Thank you Marica....

Ahhh.. have I told you..

This is fun..:o)

Have a wonderful week all..

Back to work tomorrow...

still got the cold... but work is waiting...

Been at home ...

with a nasty cold since Tuesday......

finally better today...

Mum have been here for her X-ray...

so now we just have to wait for Doc´s orders...

and hope for the best.

Otherwise nothing big have been created at my place..

just small little things...

I decided to celebrate my two years of blogging and 300 posts..

and I have made a little something for

a winner...

Been a little sneaky here..

think I like to have it that way...

I love all your comments and Im happy with that..

I dont need to have thousands of readers...

so I have counted comments from the three last posts..

...since my two years day...

Today Viktor helped me out...with a little cheering on from his buddies

...Albin and Lukas... :o)

Some got as much as three votes in the tin...

one for every comment made...

then we took a little pause....

No .. we did draw the winner before tea... ;o)

just teasing a little...

Oh... that was a nice little break..

Are you curious who won????

Ok..

It is someone who have a Passion for something..

She loves to applique... :o)

And her name is...

Carrie.. :o)

So Carrie...

if you see this...

please email me with your address... :o)

I want to thank you all for still visiting me after two years of

various attempts made in the quilting department...

Your comments means all to me..

Without you

I wouldn't keep on doing this..

So thank you  all my friends out there!!!

You are my Rays of Sunshine!!!

:o)
