The eagle has landed...

The parcel has made its way to Oamaru to Jnr Witch's home...



And here are just a few of the goodies that were inside - I can show you know as she has opened her parcel....


As I've mentioned in an earlier post the cushions have large sections of fabric from Jnr Witch's gorgeous wedding dress, and the wall hanging of the paris lady's dress also has a piece from the wedding dress (stitching kit, and border fabric are from The Stitchery, in Dunedin, also check out Jenny's new blog http://www.stitcheryjen.blogspot.com/). Jnr Witch was so excited to see her goodies and I am so pleased that she loves them... Its hard to see in the photo - though there is a white dog stitched which is to represent BonBon...

... isn't he just the cutest :)

Oh did a little quilting today - well sandwiched and pinned "becks flowers" quilt out so it is ready to take to my stitching group's weekend away in two weeks - can't wait - we are off to CherryPie in Levin.

The 'gecko' in the header is what I made at a weekend class a couple of years ago - he is to be hung on the curved wall in the back courtyard once we have laid the concrete etc - so for now he lays in the sun on our bedroom floor...

Have a lovely mothers day tomorrow, I hope your children let you sleep in, bring you a mug of tea and some toast so you can stay snuggled in bed and read your book - Kait and Beck's I hope you read this...LOL

Love J xox

Your wall hanging is gorgeous - the wedding dress fabric looks perfect in the picture - very Parisian!! The cushions look really soft and feminine as well - I bet your friend was thrilled with them. Hope your Mothers Day was a special one.
