I sat infront of our tree with William at my side, anxiously waiting for me to open my gift.
Sherry sent so many balls of Lizbeth thread in the most gorgeous colors. I do love tatting in color :) There were 8 balls of variegated and 3 balls of solid colors. In fact I am working on the latest TIAS in one of the variegated threads that Sherry got me.
William couldn't wait to get his hands on the thread!!
She also sent lots of pretty beads in different sizes, shapes and colors, a few fancy pins that tatting can be added too, seven books on crochet and lastly, a beautiful cross stitch picture of a snow scene with a snowman with a tatted edge of Mary Knoir's blackmagic. The picture is Gorgeous!! I will have it framed and leave it up year round to enjoy. The tatted edge looks perfect on the picture. Thank you again Sherry!!

Wow lovely presents!
All your goodies are fabulous. I love the snowman with the edging, so pretty. Happy Tatting Dear Friend!
Lucky you!Love the colours of the Lizbeth thread. Its fun seeing what everyone has received in their Secret Santas. Happy New Year
Wow, and more wow! That certainly was a box full of Secret Santa treasures!
And how clever of William to go thread diving! He and Ciarrán will get on swimmingly. Of that I am sure.
Seeing that lovely edging -- perfectly framing the snowman stitching -- makes me want to learn Cluny tatting. It is so gorgeous!
You're so lucky! Sherri is an amazing person and amazing tatter. You made out like a bandit with all that thread!
Thank you, Wicked Tats, Rayanna,

Hi Carol, Your daughter must have been thrilled to meet the actor who played Pippin!!!!!!! I have a few embroidery patterns on Crinoline Ladies as well.
Hi again Typs Tatting, You better believe it, Katrina was THRILLED to meet Pippin. She is a huge fan of the movie. I was a bit excited to, we have pictures of him with us and autographs. It was exciting!! Have a great day!

Great to see your new post!
WOW - what a fabulous exchange gift from Sherry! And what a lovely tatted Konior 'border' for the snowman cross-stitch, which is also adorable.
Nice photos of you, your tree and William - not to mention all that Lizbeth thread!
Appreciated your comments on my blog. I believe your mom also made Rebecca Jones' snoman pattern. And I'm delighted you have one of my angels from long ago! Thanks for mentioning it!
I found Billie's website awhile ago, but haven't checked it lately. She's an amazing, creative person. I sometimes saw her at the Brady's Run Quilt Show.
Hope we're pulling out of this cold weather for awhile!
