Hello. How are you?
I hope you are well and happy.
I'm a very happy bunny as a couple of days ago the postman delivered a parcel.
I had a feeling this was a special parcel and as soon as I saw the word 'Alicante' on the post mark, I knew what it was!
It had to be the wonderful giveaway prize from lovely Amanda at Crafty in the Med which I had been so lucky to win!
And there were a few surprises too!
I was so thrilled to have won this gorgeous crochet book....
I can't wait to try some of the wonderful motifs....
and cute project ideas.....
But that was not all that was in my parcel........I felt like it was Christmas again!
A gorgeous crocheted and adorned brooch.....

That's a beautiful blanket in the background of the first picture - I absolutely love the design. What is it called and where can I find the pattern. PS My first ever comment written to a blogmeister, so please forgive any clunking errors in etiquette, etc, that I may accidentally drop!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pamela. No errors at all!
