Christmas Time Is Near - See What Iv Been Upto

Heres an update of a few christmas projects.  I decided to make some embroidered postcards for overseas family members instead of cards.  Just loved making them.  Silly pics upside down again.

The last few years I have done a mystery 12 days of christmas parcel for a special friend and every year I pick someone new to receive one.  This year whilst explaining the idea to a dear friend she decided to suprise me with one as well.  So this year I sent out two parcels for Marie and Jan who come to our sewing group Marie only sews by hand and Jan who is new to patchwork but seems to be hooked already.  I knew it would get you Jan.  Both wonderful ladies who have been just wonderful friends.  So Maries first gift to me was a santa kit.  I spent the day yesterday making it up right away so that it didnt fall into the GET AROUND TO IT LATER pile.  The single santa is what I make and the other pic is how the kit was should have been.  She knew I could change it.  Thanks Marie
