Brendies Christmas Gift Part 2

BRENDIES HAND MADE NAPKINS AND RINGS

Well..... 

As I was putting away Christmas decor last week I was reminded that I wanted to publish another post on Brendies present from our gift exchange.

I was so excited when I opened the mail box
and saw a package all the way from New Zealand.
Woo Hoo!!!
It was like opening a mini treasure chest.
In addition to the adorable tree ornaments, she had included a really cool necklace, (which my grandson Nathan immediately snagged) a souvenir Kiwi ink pen (hanging on my fridge for making the market list) but most impressive were these really awesome dinner napkins with matching rings.
(Rings made out of PVC pipe covered in fabric, how inventive is that?.)
The fabric is oh so pretty and festive but the most impressive part is that she took the time to hand stitch all the hems on the napkins! That she would take the time to hand craft the ornaments, hand stitch the napkins, for someone she doesn't even know is truly amazing to me.

WOW!!!!
The reason I bring this up is, now, my dining table is blah, no more awesome table adornment!
So... thanks to Brendie,
I was motivated to get off my butt computer and sew.
Thanks’ Brendie, your lovely gifts were what I needed to
spur me to get back to my crafts.
Merci!
Some new place mats and napkins are in order I think.
Till next time,
Bonjour

THE KIWI JUST LAUGHED AT ME!!!

THE SHEEP AGREED TO BEHAVE ONCE
I PUT THEM ON THE TREE

Brendie, you are totally awesome!!!
