New Blogger!!!

Now that I know that my partner has received her gifties I can show you what I sent to Narelle, the lovely lady I was paired up with in the fabulously fun Mug Hug Swap run by Jenny and Vicki. Huge big thanks by the way to Jenny and Vicki for running this terrific swap :o). I can't find the piccies I took before I sent them ... they're probably on the old 'puter - so I hope Narelle doesn't mind that I've 'borrowed' the one from her blog ;o).........
Narelle has now started her own blog!!! Please pop on over and visit her and say hi from me too ;o)!!!!
Thanks Narelle, I'm so pleased we got to be partners in the swap!!!

Don't forget to check out our first Christmas Freebie pattern - this one is by Judith from Creative Studio ...... just click on the "Gumtrees" piccy on my sidebar to find it :o)!!!

Hug Swap has arrived!!!

I was so excited when the mailman came today ... look what he brought me!!! I just love the gorgeous rosy paper :o)!!.......... Thank you so much to Narelle .... she made these gorgeous items just for me!! These are just beautiful ... Narelle's stitches are so neat and even!!!Thank you so much Narelle I love them and as you can see they are just perfect with my favourite mug :o)!!!

I've managed to get my new 'puter to make friends with my printer and scanner now, so hopefully very soon there will be more PDF patterns from JoyPatch coming on my website and onto my blog. As you can clearly see from my dear Sophie's expression ... she's had enough of my yelling at the new 'puter LOL. Oh well, one more battle won ..... still a lot more to fight I fear though :o/.

DH and I managed to get out in our little boat the other day and I took a few pics of the "Dawn Treader". Parts of the new Narnia movie "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" are being filmed about 10min from where I live - so when we were out on the bay I took these pics of the ship for you to see!!! Isn't it impressive!!!I can't wait to see the movie ..... I love the 'Chronicles of Narnia' ;o).
