I received from @momiemae today!
I love the sack!
The sack and wrapped presents!
Look at the beautiful hoop!
The back is pretty, too.
Painted woodwork!
Another small bag with a starry bunting of sorts.
And the purchased extras, perfect for this time of year.
Sorry the lightning is a little dark. Thanks so much. I love it all.
A very Christmas package! Love the sack and the embroidery.
The embroidery hoop is such a fun Christmas decoration!
I received my incredible package from AIMR yesterday, it’s gorgeous!
I went away to NZ for the couple of weeks before Christmas, and I realise I missed commenting on most of the fabulous things in the gallery while I was away seeing my family! So before I post my pictures -
@Lynx Such a fun package! The bracelets are really pretty.
@gozer This is an absolutely adorable bag of cuteness! You did such lovely work with those peg dolls, so sweet!
@Abbeeroad Your art pieces are fantastic! And space whiskey cat is too hilarious, I just love him.
@Kwality570 Simply gorgeous! The scrappy notebook cover and little tote are particularly lovely.
@geekgirl What a spectacular sack and contents! I especially love the cool ATC trio.
@Manders This is a purrfectly wonderful bag of treats! Your felt creations are adorable! (kittites! Krampus! lol)
@momiemae Such a beautiful festive package! The Christmas hoop is stellar!
And now to post pictures of my own wonderful surprises …
@AIMR sent me a spectacular and so very thoughtful Christmas parcel, I love everything so much!
It arrived beautifully packaged, with the most adorable handmade bird ornament as a tag.
Parcels inside! and two more of the gorgeous wee birds, squee! You can see one item is a gorgeous handmade linen tea towel in the same fabric as the Santa sack - well the Santa sack is actually also a tea towel with temporary stitching. This is such a clever idea for me, I love these and I know I’ll enjoy using them. And look at that fabulous patchwork pouch 
Adorable Christmas cross stitch pattern inside the red parcel …
… and beautiful goodies inside the pouch, even ANOTHER parcel with a sweet birdie! It’s parcels within parcels 
Sweet stickers (frogs! 
), notepad and a pretty magnet too…
… lovely paintbrushes, art charcoal block, and within the littlest parcel, a super cool snap top pouch with lovely tea in it!
And here’s a beautiful card, and a closer look at my new birdie friends. I love them so much, they are perfect to hang up all year round!
Thank you so much Linda, everything you make is so beautiful, and you chose such thoughtful colours and themes for me. I feel very lucky, I love everything!! 
@AIMR - Those birds are incredible! I absolutely adore them!!!
I am so glad the package reached you! The birds were my favorite part! I plan on making more because I also think they can be displayed year round!
The snap pouch is the first one I ever made. Not a favorite, but interesting construction! ha
I know the Santa sack is a bit unusual, but I know you make a lot of your own bags, so I thought using a linen tea towel (that I did actually cut and make from my large linen stash) would be more practical for you. I love them as they get used more and more because they soften and really dry well! USE THEM!
Hope you had a lovely visit with your family. That is what the holidays are about: making memories with family and friends! Thanks for swapping with me, friend!
I absolutely love the linen towels you made, that was a brilliant idea!! And, I solemnly promise I will use them Linen tea towels are so good!
Thank you for swapping with me, it’s always a delight to see the thoughtful and clever things you create
such a bright cheerful package! I love those birds!
I love, love that fabric!! And those bird tags are beautiful @AIMR!!
Thank you! The fabric is from a Christmas line. I bought a layer cake and some yardage, as I had plans to make so many more things…oh well, next Christmas! ha
I think the birds were from a tutorial that @magpie had linked…she links so many good ones…they were fun and pretty easy to do, especially if you like free motion machine stitching! I’ll do a separate post and put in the link!
I fancy those birds as well. Beautiful package.
Those birds are just TOOO cute! I love them so much. The pouches are equally as amazing though! The fabrics are beautiful. And the tea towels are so lovely!
Yes please!! They are wonderful 
Well, this is embarrassing…I was doing some clean up of my electronic files and found this folder of pictures…I took them and transferred them but never put them in the gallery! I apologize to both my partner, @jemimah and our organizer, @geekgirl !
Group shot…isn’t the fabric for the sacks so cute!? The card and the bookmark were an extra surprise!
Jemimah wrapped each little gift! I am going to steal this idea of using tissue paper and washi tape to keep things light! I worried about customs, but nothing was opened or torn!
Cute cat socks, a cross stitch star ornament (I collect stars!), an Australian aboriginal 2024 calendar and notecards!
Last, but not least, two beautiful watercolors that I already have hanging on my LC Art wall!
In case anyone wants more details, ha…the beautiful, collaged notecards and a look at the tiny stitches on the star!
Thanks, again, @jemimah ! I loved everything! Please kick my butt if I ever do this again!
Off to post the other 15 pictures I totally forgot in the 50 Projects, 2023! (only 13 days late!) ha ha
Love those watercolors!
No need to apologise - you had a lot going on!! I’m so glad you enjoyed your parcel
A wonderful package from @jemimah! I love everything but those collage notecards are particularly inspiring. I have been playing with this technique but filling the whole card. Lightbulb moment!
The qatercolors are beautiful! The entire package is amazing!
