It's 1.00am, I've just got home from being at Midnight Mass and am relaxing before going to bed - watching The Hour of Power from the Crystal Palace. God bless you all and I hope you all get lovely goodies from the Cuties involved in the Secret Santa. Love Chris

Here is the gift I received from NSW, Australia. I absolutely love it! The bag is made from hessian with a lovely design of a New England, Maine, beach house. it has a wooden base, so it is very sturdy. There was also a set of 4 coasters, embroidered with 2 views of my very favourite animals, greyhounds. It's even a design that I don't have -amazing, LOL. Thankyou so much, Secret Santa. The items are lovely and the wrapping beautifully done, too.

I finally got back here to post my SS gift, which turned out to be way better than a lotto ticket.......
Try as I may I could not get a photo good enough to do it justice as it is the most exquisite, intricately beaded, old fashioned Santa Clause, with fantastic shading and it shines and glistens like sunshine on new fallen snow.
It is truly a work of art made by a very talented Cutie and I absolutely love it, thank you so very much.
Please make sure you click on the photo's to see them larger so you can appreciate the work put into this, it is simply stunning!

I hope you have the weather to wear your scarf soon -it might be waiting a while in Melbourne, Aus where it is to be 29deg Celsius today (31 for Christmas Day)! It looks lovely and the ironing pad will be such a handy item. Well done, SS.
Lovely well done SS
what a handy little item is your small ironing pad ,I am going to make one for myself, I agree with sally on the scarf ,at least we have had 2 days of cooler and rainy weather.SS well done
I live in Germany so I will have plenty of opportunity to wear it.
you will get a lot of use from your scarf ,enjoy

LOVE the scarf and an ironing pad is just so essential for any crafter to have. Well Done SS
Very nice and so useful! Where do you live in Germany? I'm in Rheinfelden BW.

Great gifts, well done SS! The ironing pad is one of those items that you'll wonder how you ever did you do without it!

Don't have a way to upload the gorgeous gifts from my SS, so I'll describe. First, a big, fat cushioned overstuffed chair pincushion, complete with a heart shaped pillow at the back. Then, a bright green flowered tea towel with flower and coffee cup appliques and a contrasting edge, very well planned for color and design. Last, a pair of fingertip towels with a scrolly and pair of butterflies, just the right size design for the little fingertips. Last - a glittered Christmas card, which is what I always received from the maid who helped raise me for 34 years. A lovely reminder of her, long after she is gone. (She knew children love glitter.) It is humbling to receive a gift from a stranger! Thank you forever.

Thanks so much for your description-well done. Your SS did a great job as well, especially for unknowingly providing such a nice reminder for you.

My Secret Santa gift came from a Cutie in Missouri.It is a beautiful pair of pillowcases that will go perfectly with a blue sheet set that I have. There was also a lovely hand crafted card done on parchment paper, two FSL ornaments for my tree and some soap in the form of a cross. Thank you so much, it is as lovely as can be. I am so jealous of those who have the big hoops and can do this amazing work. Thank you, thank you, Secret Santa.

I hope my SS will forgive me I totally forgot to photograph the gorgeous card that came with my gift, it is also stunning, (I love Santas) and my favourite Grandma was Scottish so tartans are a big favourite, and the embossed gold foil border is so lovely.
You can be sure I will keep this beautiful card as I keep all the cards I receive, though it will be a shame to have to put him in a box..... I think I might frame him to bring out every Christmas. Thank you so much, Meg

I was looking all over for a Santa just like this to stitch out. Great card!

Shuede the Chinese web site has a lot of gorgeous, old fashioned Santa designs done in cross stitch.

hugs n blessings, Meganne
Meganne, I'm too afraid to go to the Chinese website. The last time, they got my information and well over $1,000. It took time, but I did get the money back because it was clearly fraud. (Also, I had to take my computer in because it kept "calling China." Now the computer needs to be completely wiped and reloaded.)
Shuede I never have any problems with the Chinese site I download from, if you email me I will help you with it.

Here's what I meant to post HERE ...
My Secret Santa gifts just arrived from Canada! I'm absolutely thrilled to bits with them! I got a lovely casserole carrier made out of cotton and lined with navy terry cloth, the front reads "Bon Appetit" and the back is embroidered with "Make Thyme to live, love and laugh", a kitchen towel that reads "WIshes won't do dishes" and a serving spoon!
Thanks so very much, Dear Secret Santa! You couldn't have pleased me more! Hugs!

Sorry I posted it so late as I got the gifts 2 weeks ago. My Secret Sister made a super cute stuffed duck(I think) for my little Lily and a lovely dark green ornament where you can put a picture inside.
Very thoughtfully she made a template for the picture. She also included a very nice card (which I will photograph later).
Look how happy Lily is with her new toy!
Thank you so much my secret santa! I absolutely love everything you did for me and my little Lily!

Apologies for the delay in posting due to visitors and family over the Christmas holidays. Here is my beautiful SS gift. I am going to hang it up where it can be seen. The picture does not do it justice at all. The fabric round the edge of the quilting is patched in a interesting way and the fabric has a delicate gold pattern on All the coloured fabrics have a pattern on and are in the brown, gold, tan shades and one has some vivid blue on. All totally delightful. It is very humbling to think that someone has spent a lot of time creating this beautiful piece of work for me. I have taken part in all the SS Christmas swaps and it really is BRILLIANT. Thanks again to Sue who arranges this so well for us to enjoy. I am going to see if its possible to take and upload a better picture. So thank you/danke to the wonderful German cutie who created my super present. ( And I hope you love what you have received too)

Sorry for the lateness of this post, but with a wedding today, family over from Canberra, Christmas and gastro I have not even turned on my computer. I recieved by Secret santa gift two day before christmas, but didnt open it until boxing day because I was at my daughters. My SS sent me a beautiful hand towel embroided with an angel fish in teals, a teal coloured glasses case and two FSL tree ornaments, I am very grateful for her work, it is just gorgeous and fits me so well. You will notice the glasses case is the same colour as my glasses. Thankyou so much Secret Santa

Love you dear friend

Love you dear friend

Wow...nice! Love the pincushion...it looks like it is one that will "stay put" on the arm of a chair or your sewing table as not to have to "chase" it around...and the Needle Mate is the perfect companion...so glad Meganne shared her design with us so we could all enjoy her talents, too! Good job SS...
Funny thing you thinking that Lenamae, I almost offered to do it for you and everyone else having problems but thought you'd all have it sorted before I could do it. :-) hugs n love, Meg
lovely gifts ! nice pincushion
Hmm.. is it possible to have pin cushion envy? LOL! Just beautiful! Well done, SS!
Two beautiful gifts. :)

I sent mine in mid-Dec. but have not seen a picture of it yet.
I count 25 gifts posted, is that correct?
Yes!
I know that my gift arrived so maybe the recipient is on vacation, or having issues with her camera or computer.

The weather in some parts of the US has been very bad recently and that could play a part in packages being delayed in delivery. So nice to see those that have arrived. I think so far they are all wonderful! Happy New Year to all. Hugs. Nan W

Lovely gifts. Sue, what does "chuffed" mean? I am American so not a word we use! Hugs. Nan W
Beautiful FSL, especially the monogrammed ones.
Another American that doesn't know the definition of chuffed, so this is what I found, "in a state of delighted satisfaction mixed with pride".
terrific

What a nice thing for you to offer to do, bless you.
Quite a few people have made a similar kind offer - thanks to you all. The main problem is finding out if gifts have arrived or not - some people are more difficult to contact than others.

My out bound gift still hasnt been shown on cute, cant wait to hear what my recipient thought of it.

I have tried to contact her but not had a reply.
She is on holiday still.
It really is the best part, seeing the comment made by the recipients of everyone's gifts. I hope the waiting is over for all soon.

Ii has arrived! Was sent on December 3 and arrived today January 5! However my Secret Santa has my postal code wrong. The right code is: E1C 0A8 (e1c 0a8).
Now, it says this is part one of two...how lucky am I? This proves that all good things come to those who wait!
I received two beautiful embroidered mug rugs ad a gorgeous FSL sun catcher. just gorgeous. A lot of work went into making these...I can't believe there's a part two!

Wow what a lovely set of mugrugs. The suncatcher is very catching too!! Well done :)
Phew!
Phew is right! Here I was complaining about our postal service, and they actually did the extra work of finding the right postal code (is e1c 0a8, but was addressed to ec1 018). I am very happy with my lovely gifts. Thank you again, Secret Santa. Now to figure out who she is...what a puzzle!!

Dear all, especially dear Secret Santa. I am so sorry for posting so late. I have just returned from my holidays and I am sooo excited to receive the gift. Please have a look. It is stunning!! I love the colour, the fabric, the beautiful clutch. Thank you again so much. It is so beautiful and I am sorry for having kept you waiting for so long. When I signed up for the Secret Santa this year, I did not know I was going away - otherwise I would have not participated. Thank you for your patience and thank you so much for this most beautiful present!! I love it! Thank you!
