Timed the mailman exactly today...checked mail when he came in his yellow car...
and guess what he said... -You sure have Little Christmas Eve today!!
And oh my he was right... :)
First I want to say I have been trying to have a deal with Kris at Tag Along Teddies that from now on... No peeking...not making any holes bigger than they were...and so on... and thats a promise...
So Kris.... are you up to it or did you faint!! Guess you already have peeked!! ;)
Ok back to my mail... :o
In November Kathie at Inspired by Antique Quilts had a giveaway with a little kit for a lovely plaid Scrappy Star quilt...and I missed out on that one ...but you know I loved this one..and have followed Kathies little kits at their new owners... and all the newborn quilts from her little kits...
and today this arrived... :)
(and this one was not wrapped...so it doesn´t count ;)

This little beauty will be perfect for me to try out some sewing ...
I´m so grateful for this Kathie....
Thankyou Kathie.... :L
And this one actually came yesterday...
maybe he remembered that ...my mailman... :)
Exciting...something to make for christmas...a challenge... :)
a stitchery....
...and a little kit... and from who....from my sweet friend in Norway...the one and only ... May Britt...
So now I need to finish up some presents...and start this one...
hhhmmmm...what to make...
And she added a little something too... and look...
down in the stocking from Libby...
Quick ...quick... :)
(before I change my mind...)
Thankyou May Britt!! :L
And this came today too.... from Laura in Italy...my Pif receiver this summer... a total surprise...but I was so strong...even if I can see some through the paper... :)in the stocking it went...
Thankyou Laura... :L
Thankyou Laura... :L
Ahhhh... it feels so good... but ohh... Im not this strong...Wait it is more....!!
This package came too...with a little note on top of the envelope!!
WAIT TILL CHRISTMAS!!
What.... me not wait... Linda what do you think of me...lol...
...and this package came a little bit torn in one side... ;)... Hmmmm....handed this one quickly over to my daughter...and told her to check if it was wrapped inside...
and so it was...so I took it out...just to touch a little... ;) No...not at all...to put it in the stocking...
...but it was too big so I laid it in the tree...so I can check it out... no I mean so Linda (my daughter) can keep an eye of it... ;)She promised to pour tabasco in my tea if I go near that package...
By golly...that was a horrible thing...so I guess the package is safe!!
She knows I love my tea!!
Thankyou Linda for thinking of me.... :L
Oh...there were a lot of Linda´s here...am I confusing you a bit..lol...
Have I been good or what... I mean no peeking...I am trying really hard here...so give me a break!! :)
Wow, lots of packages.....make sure you wait til Christmas Eve! You can do it! I told you , you are a very sweet person!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL, lot's of parcels, I'll be amazed if you can hold out until Christmas....lol.
ReplyDeleteHey Stina! No, no!! I'm being a VERY good girl!! No peeking since we made our deal ... yet! Tee! Hee! Hee! I'm TRYING to be good, but not very good and being good ... if you know what I mean and since you are so tempted to peek too, I know that you know! Hmmm ... that all sounds very confusing, but I'm sure you understand! I can't wait to see the stitchery picture that May Britt sent for you challenge, since she does such lovely work. Only five sleeps (for us Aussies!)left til The big man in red comes - or maybe I'll be like you and unwrap Christmas eve, so only four sleeps left! Tee! Hee! Hee! Be strong Stina - we can do it!!! Bear Hugs! KRIS
ReplyDeleteWow what you had been kind this year with lots of package to open at Christmasevening..
ReplyDeleteI hope you all feel good! You go away over Christmas?
Have a nice weekend!
Take care!
You're going to have such fun opening all of your wonderful goodies! Such willpower to wait!
ReplyDeleteStina, stay strong. I know you can do it.
ReplyDeleteJust a few days now and we can open our presents. This time is soooooooooooooooo long to wait.
ReplyDeleteI have also handed my gifts over to my DD who is protecting it.
It's soooo close now...I'm sure you can do it??? Merry Christmas to you...and all good things for you for the New Year!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to clarify myself.....being a sweet person has nothing to do with willpower, but with making so many friends all over the world.
ReplyDeleteI knew you had a hard time finding plaids in Sweden and I saw how much you loved this little quilt I just had to send you a little kit
ReplyDeleteenjoy making it and make sure you send me a pix, can't wait to see how you quilt it.
Oh boy a kit from May Britt too can't wait to see that made too.
Have fun!
Kathie
Ever notice how the closer we get to Christmas the longer the days seem to get??? I'm glad to hear that you, and espically Kris are being good (she's my SSCS partner). Can't wait to see your new little stitchery...looks very fun. And all of your other goodies...lucky, lucky lady;)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have many nice friends sending you so many little Christmas packages! You will be busy Christmas morning opening packages and be a very happy quilter.
