As part of a trade (organised by fellow blogger, Claire of claribell.wordpress.com), today I received by post a massive package wrapped in brown paper (I love it when things are wrapped in brown paper... I can't explain why). It is a 480 page book of glorious needlecrafts. This is a fantastic reference guide for me because I do want to enhance the things I sew by adding little extra decorating details.
As an added bonus, I do collect stamps. So I got to add these New Zealand stamps into my collection.
In return for this fabulous book which Claire sent me, she will be receiving one of my signature Hoo Owls.
Thank you Claire!
