That Friday Feeling (closed)

Ooo being busy is making me boring, I'm afraid. Roll after roll after roll. 

It did leave me with some funky burn and scorch marks all over my hands 

and fingers though. I can detect a definite pattern :) 

Not much time for doing anything else but work. And of course the children

have been off school for two weeks. Imagine me having the 'deer in headlight' look

most of the time. But, but it all got done, and all is good, who needs sleep anyways. 

I do need a big dose of creativity, though! I have been working on some new illustrations, 

and have a sewing project planned for this coming week.

To start off another lovely Weekend, here is a Lilla Lotta Give Away!

This week I am giving away two meters of The Home is Heart tape!

This tape is really wonderful to add to a quilt, or big patchwork projects.

If you would like the chance for this tape to land in your postbox, please

leave me a comment! 

Last week winners of the Cup Cakes tapes are

Tina Teaspoon uit Brugge

Roos

Lisa

Please email me your postal address at lillalotta@mac.com and I will swiftly wrap

and pack for you!

It is nice to share! Do spread the love!

Friday-Gardenday

Countless birds have moved into the bushes and the roof of our house. 

They are so busy, and fill up the quiet with their constant song. It is sweet. Just

like Spring is supposed to be. Scattering little flowers every where. Honestly, it

seems the garden is smiling. A lunch in the sun on our weather beaten bench is

a must. I was spoiled by my dear friend Ramona with a

great arty magazine in the post the other day, and then another magazine 

landed in my mail box from Amber! Thank you so much for your kindness!

I wish you could join me in the garden, the shakes are blended and a stack

of cucumber sandwiches do need to be eaten... x

ps. am very very busy with new stuff. Soon. Soon. 

Achoo

I finally opened the first Christmas Goodness package I received a while ago,

sent to me by lovely Jackie. Ooo so much happiness and colour! 

I wasn't going to open it until Christmas Day, but she made me do it :) 

I feel so spoiled, and it was such a joy to unwrap, all very beautifully

put together. I just love all of it!  Thank you so much, Jackie! 

. . . . . . .

And yesterday a wee surprise package arrived from Juliane-

Fröken Skicklig 

The most magical little Magic Box! 

My children can not get enough of it, and are so intrigued. 

Especially my little ones can pull the button over and over and over. 

Thank you so much Juliane!

. . . . . . . 

I have been in such a pitiful state lately, no sleep, horrid head cold

and going through boxes of tissues like there is no tomorrow.

But how can I possibly be miserable with mail such as this.

Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

I received my first Christmas Swap Package from Jackie!

And my oh my, the wrapping is something else. Beautiful!

Jackie kindly emailed me and told me I was allowed to open

the package, but I can't get myself to open anything yet,

until I have put up my tree and decorated the house.

So I will be staring at this a little while longer, and most

likely develop a serious twitch. 

I am putting together all Swap Packages this week, and

quite a few more packages and snail mails to friends

and family. It is going to be busy. 

I hope every one is enjoying the impending arrival of Christmas!

((thank you so much Jackie!))

Wrap Pack and Bundle

I have been developing a twitch in my eye, honestly. Have been

jumping up and down, type of thing, to show you the hand made items

for the Christmas swaps I made, but nope *slaps hand* I am not allowed

to post about any of that. *sighs* Would just spoil it for the recipients.

But this morning I was folding and wrapping up bundles of fabrics

for the Christmas Goodness Packages. And since I am not quite  'normal' of course, 

I have to add frillies and bits to make it a 'Smiling Bundle'.

All I now have to do is shop around in Toulouse, and get 

chocolates and such to add to the packages, and I am ready to go.

Ha! At least I was able to post one photo!

*runs away quickly*
