Last of the Christmas Temari

This is the last of the temari I gave away at Christmas.  It's a double kiku in kyo-temari thread.  Simple design because well - I had a lot of temari to make!

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!
