My friend Clare and I continued our annual Christmas advent swap in 2022. We don't have a set plan so we can pick any gifts for each other to include in the swap. I always start collecting things at the start of the year as I also do a swap with a work friend, and then add throughout the year.
Once again I forgot to get a photo of Clare's gifts but here is the stitched ornament I made for her, design is by Heart in Hand.
These are all the lovely treats I received from Clare.
I was also received this gorgeous Santa as part of our stitching group secret Santa exchange.
The beautifully stitched and finished ornament I received from Clare.
Art & Frame in Christchurch had a new shipment of needle minders arrive a few weeks before Christmas so I couldn't resist this cutie:
I've had this Birdhouse design ready to go for ages so decided to get it started prior to going on my summer holidays. I'm using Cosmo thread and the design came pre printed in the kit.
I picked up this cute little tin at one of our local shops, thought it would be the perfect size for storing threads, my handcream, etc in.
Lastly for today, the dahlias in the gardens at my work are all out right now and look just gorgeous right now:
See you soon x
