SSCS2015 - Thank you!

Thank you to my Secret Santa Swap partner
for the parcel that arrived today! 
The poor postman was absolutely soaked, 
the parcel was exteriorly super soggy 
as we are having the most dreadful rains and floods,
but thanks to a super mailing envelope my parcel was safe and dry on the inside!

And what was inside!!!!:
A beautiful Cross-stitch ornament, 

Some very kind ornaments for the Kalico kids,

and a very interesting feeling gift...
(yes, I had a good feel!! ;) )
Thank you Secret Partner!!
I got the impression that I wasn't allowed to open the card,
so I shall have to wait until the big day to open my gift.
Thank you xx

And here...
the rains...
non-stop!!
The field in front of our house is flooded,
the small river behind the wall appears to have burst it's banks.


Storm Desmond has hit several areas really hard,
so we are lucky that although there is just a huge amount of water,
we are all ok.
Wet, windswept, but ok!

Hopefully, it will be over soon!
In the meantime, I will be tucked up inside
trying to be fit in a bit of stitching here and there,,,,

Why does it always rain (on me)?

Rain, rain, rain... and lots of hail too!

Today the bridge flooded again and I was worried we wouldn't be able to get home from school! Luckily we could get under the other railway bridge so I'm home to tell the tale:-) Sadly, I had no camera with me, so I have no photos to show the water levels around here which are thankfully not nearly as bad as in parts of Cumbria.

Well, it's been a long time no blog, but all the secret swaps have kept me underground however I can show one...


I'll not say anymore, but I hope they like it...


And look what I received from Ailsa for the Advent Swap....


Looks so amazing that I can't wait until the 1st of December! Thanks Ailsa!

Also received: (along with some other cool bits including something yummy that disappeared pretty quick!!)


Thanks Kandy, I can't wait to try this pen out on my butterfly quilt... (I believe the marks also disappear pretty quick LOL)

Last time we were stuck in with the weather, the boys and I made Gluten-Free mince pies (And yes, I ate all (or most of) the pies!!!)




I'll try not to leave it so long between posts, but as I'm now working on Christmas presents, I can't promise anything :-)
