SSCS Gifts Received... Thank You Dagmar!

After having a wonderful & relatively screen-free few days, it's time I get back into the blogging thing...

 

Christmas was really great - full of family, great food & socialising... I did have a few tears at times, being that this was our first Christmas with my MIL, but her delicious recipes (now made by my nieces) kept us all well-fed!

Even though 2015 has presented me with what has felt like a continuous stream of challenges, I have many things to be grateful for & that I'll cherish about the year.

Now, SSCS... Dagmar has totally spoiled me with a stunning wall hanging of a Nutcracker... I have no idea how she pieced it, I see there are so many tiny tiny pieces, but goodness me I am in love with it. Dagmar, thank you again for such a wonderful SSCS gift & I can't wait to show it off every year now!

Dagmar also included some lovely napkins with Santa's face on them, a little tub of white buttons & a dainty box packed with delicious-smelling candle melts... how did you know I love candles so much Dagmar?!

The details in this hanging are amazing, & just look at the beautiful quilting!
Do go check out Dagmar's blog, & see some more of her skills on show.

Many thanks again Dagmar ... and of course thanks goes also to Chookyblue for once again organising the best Christmas swap in blogland.
