Temari Treasure

 I have been a bit slack and busy, and so am just now working on my temari from Jean C.  She sent me this one back early last month, though.  Isn't it beautiful?  I love all the trefoils!  Thank you, Jean, and yours will be in the mail this week.

Secret Santa'd - Thank You Jillann

Santa reads my blog!  I got these beautiful Florimell skeins from my secret Santa in Friendly Stitchers.  Thank you so much, Jillann!  I'll definitely be using them very soon.

Temari Basket

I gathered all the temari I gave away for Christmas this year and got these pictures taken.  The amount looks impressive!

Beribboned

Betsy sent me ribbons last month!  They're a great collection of remnants that I can use in finishing and on my crazy quilting.  Look for ribbon in a project near here soon.  Thank you!

Pretty Purse

I received this beautiful purse from Betsy.  It's in colors I love and is the size I like to carry.  On top of that, it's cute!  I love the little dragons attached to the chains.  Thank you!

Handmade Paper

Isn't this paper pretty?  I got it at the pre-Christmas artisan's fair.  Not sure what I'll do with it yet, but I thought the marigold petals in it were so pretty!

Pandas and Penguins - More Montevideo Christmas

 A few pandas for Betsy from the mall's Christmas displays.  This one was outside Santa's area.  Penguins and camels and tigers, too!  They're already beginning to take down the display.  Bye bye holidays, hello Carnaval.
