heartfelt thanks

This past week I was so happy to receive two packages in the mail! One I knew about, one I didn't... This first one came from Georgia...

It was a book that I had won on www.mmmcrafts.blogspot.com. Larissa Holland is the blogger, and she does some fantastic things with felt!

 This book has some reallllllly cute things in it, like these finger puppets on the cover...

 or how about these adorable cute'n cup cozies???

 these zombie critter charms would steal any boy's heart...

 And my favourite is this daschund moneybox!!!

There are 25 projects in total, and I want to make all of them!

Guess I should have added wool felt sheets to my Christmas wish list...

The second box came from Alaska, and I had no idea it was coming!!!

I was so excited, it was like Christmas and my birthday all rolled up in one...

These gloves came from a crazy talented felting duo, Sarah and Nathania at www.sewdutchsisters.blogspot.com.

These lovely ladies (and my cousins too!) make all sorts of incredible goodies with recycled wool from sweaters and such, and love to refurbish old furniture as well!

I love my gloves -- they are INCREDIBLY warm!!! I can't wait for the colder weather to wear them...

Thanks again to all three ladies, who made my day, my week, my month, my year!!!
