Fiber Arts Gifts

On Christmas Eve, the mailman visited the farm with a few unexpected packages for me.  It was like Christmas morning for me as I tore open my gifts.  I received a very special and unexpected gift from Denise who write the Voie de Vie Blog.  On Fiber Arts Friday, she had posted about her new napkin ring design and I ended up being the recipient of her first rings.  They are simply beautiful and now I am compelled to weave some gorgeous napkins to go in them.  She also made me a beautiful star using some scrap yarn leftover from another project that came from yarn from my farm.  Serious, Pasture to Product to Awesome and Back.  Thank you Denise for the special treat.

I also received a wonderful package from Karin who writes the vrouw hommel blog.  We were both part of an ornament swap through Natural Suburbia blog hosted by Linda.  Her little figures she made me are simply precious.  I have also been enjoying her blog and her creativity.  Thank you.



Finally, I won a contest over at Sheri's blog, Handmade by Sheri ,  and the package arrived.  I got enough New Zealand wool to knit a shawl out of a pattern she wrote.  I am currently looking for my larger circs so I can start knitting this shawl.  Thank you.
