Gifts!

I got a nice bundle of pressies yesterday which made up for me spending an entire week making chocolates (including 3 days booked of work at last minute). So whilst the carpet fitters were in putting down the new carpet you can see in these photos(!) I was crammed in the conservatory with the crying dog and all the furniture opening my packages and it was just the pick-me-up I needed.Firstly I decided I was going to be naughty and open my secret santa gift from the Crafteroo forum. I organised the partners so I know who sent to me, which is slightly cheating! Anyway thanks SO MUCH Ali, I am thrilled with what I got!A hedgehog pin cushion, a hedgehog make-up bag (how did you know mine was dilapidated?), some gorgeous print fabrics and a book!For those that are wondering, "Why the hedgehogs?", I am on the waiting list for a baby african pygmy hedgehog of my own in the new year :)I also received three charms in the post which I will attach to a bracelet when they all come in. These are from an X Factor Sweepstake that we had over on the Craft Pimp forum. We were all allocated an act- some got another when theirs left as there were 10 of us in the swap and 12 acts- and I got Little Mix, who won! So I get a charm from each of the other participants- lucky me! :DFrom left to right... Jo, Vic, FionaI can't wait to see what else come! My OH particularly likes the metalwork one by Jo, but my photo is a bit pants at showing them off. I'm very pleased with what I have so far!I have a huge quilt to get done in time for Christmas, I hope to show you that soon!
