Holiday Swap – Got Gifts!

by Christina on December 3, 2009

in Holiday Swap, Loom Knitting, Scribblings

bbhs_teaser_smallI’m a bit concerned.  I mailed my package and I know it’s been received (according to USPS).  I’ve checked regularly, and there’s been no mention on my person’s blog.  I, uh *ahem* forgot to put a card in the package.  I don’t know if that’s a contributing factor — the giftee has no clue who sent it.  I did put a card in the mail today.  Or, it’s possible she’s very busy.  Her blogs been very active these last few days.  I’ll try not to worry too much.

Today, I got my gifts.  My secret Santa is Heather from Gofita’s Pages.  The thing that brought the biggest smile to my face was the hat.  I recently took up loom knitting and to get a knitted hat was such a kick!  I just finished a dishcloth, over the Thanksgiving holiday, with the same pattern.   I also got a book, Intimations of Austen: Stories Inspired by the Works of Jane Austen by Jane Greensmith; a box of candy canes and assorted chocolate candies (more in the bag).  The gift bag, sadly, received grievous wounds during transport.  I will not be able to reuse it. :-(

Thanks, Heather, for the lovely gifts!! :-D

Below are the pictures (including two of the dishcloth and the project I’m currently working on).

It’s that time again. This will be my first time participating in the swap. I enjoyed looking at/reading about the past swaps and I decided, if there was one this year, I would join in. The deadline for sign-up is 12 November.
