Got to love the mail man

Warning picture heavy post. I've been blessed with awesome mail lately, you have to love blogging friends. Last week the mail man delivered a lovely parcel from Denise at riversidestitching, she was kind to send a baby gift for little Samuel.

and a picture of Sam wearing the sleeper.

I just love the little feet on the sleeper. Thank you Denise, your friendship means a lot to me.
Then I received the most amazing RAK from Chris at alwayssmiling here is a picture of what she sent.

I adore the sweater she knitted for Samuel, seems Sam was born on the same day as her son was.

I've always been afraid to try a needle roll so I was delighted to see this and will treasure it always.

She also included this cute little kit for making a card.

I did warn you that this was picture heavy, so if your still reading one last picture my feeble attempt at stitching for last week. Frosty and feathered friends has not grown very much.

Hopefully will have better luck with this weeks rotation, which was day 10 from the crazy challenge "Christmas" by Jardin Prive. I forgot just how little stitching time you have with a newborn.
Thank you everyone that stops by and leaves comments.

A late ornament and Day 9

Before I show you what little I stitched yesterday on day 9 of the 15 day crazy January challenge, I must share with you what arrived in the mail this morning. I was in an ornament exchange with one of my Yahoo groups "Friendly Stitchers", we were suppose to have our ornaments mailed by December 6Th. When December came and went I had sort of given up on my ornament arriving, Jillann had mailed it on the 7Th of December. So when to my amazement there was a little package in the mail today for me, I'm waiting on a few things to arrive so I wasn't very sure on the contents. I was delighted when this came tumbling out onto my lap.

It is beautiful, I'm sure glad she choose a wintry pattern so that I can still display it for awhile. The back is just as beautiful, Jillann used a sparkly fabric for the back. My picture doesn't do it justice.


So onto Day 9 told you there wasn't a lot to share. Here is "Feathered and Frosty Friends" from a Stoney Creek Magazine. Just the start of the scarf and an arm.
