See what I received today!

Candle Mat Swap 
I got this lovely mat from Maria Wilson in Australia. She included a cute little Christmas card that she machine appliqued and the cutest tiny book that is a holder for pins and needles which will be great for my travelling sewing kit.  Also, was a cross stitch ornament kit and a Cadbury candy bar.  I'm thinking that is going to be eaten along with a cup of tea this afternoon!!

Thanks so much, Maria!!

Now I need to get my mat in the mail for my partner, who is not Maria, but is out of the country.  I can't say who or where--it's suppose to be a surprise!

  3. I saw the instructions to make one of these on someones blog. I am going to make some for little presents for christmas, you know when someone drops by unannounced, for the work xmas party, for a teacher, who knows who else.

    I am thinking of having a sewing challenge blog. Bi-weekly I post a themed challenge, you up load a recent or past project using the theme and, and random generator picks a lucky winner for a little something, something. You can check out my blog as Paula's Sewing Challenges, and tell me what you think. If this does not interest you sorry for the inconvenience.
