First of all, I got a mini pin cushion from Rachelle for my 10th Advent gift. Is it cute or what? I loved it so much that I put it on my blockeeper bag that I am making. Therefore, I had to take a pic of the project in progress to show you the Advent gift.LOL It was the cherry on the cake as they say...It added that special touch, don't you think? In case you are wondering, I just have to make the ruffles, straps and binding to finish the blockeeper bag....I just love the pinks and the blues together. The background fabric looks white, but it is actually a pale pink Michael Miller Fairy Frost called Creamsickle. If you haven't ever seen the fairy frost line, look here. It is fabulous!The back of the bag is all red with creamsicle fairy frost a tinier heart in the middle. The whole bag is turning out very cute indeed!
I also got a siggy from Ludwina who is from Belgium. I enjoyed her flower fabric. When it is winter and rainy most of the time here, flowers just make you smile.
Tomorrow, I will finish the bag...Today, Joe and I went shopping and then we took our walk together....I was just too busy to sew!
Enjoy your day...We are already in the early evening of our day.

You sure are enjoying your Advent this year with all the little gifts. I've been popping in quickly but things are a bit busy so haven't commented.Tonight I'm catching up on everyone!
I think the Advent gift idea is lovely. Perhaps I could get organised enough to do it for my children another year- they'd love it!
The Advent swap is turning up some lovely gifts isn't it? I'm really enjoying watching everyone else open theirs as well as opening mine.
