Presents in the Post

I seem to have lost my mojo lately - perhaps it`s just the `post holiday blues` kicking in but I haven`t felt like getting crafty with anything. There`s a HUGE stash of wool and material lying in my spare room which I`ve hardly looked at for weeks and it`s making me wish I could spend all my days in Pleasureville with just my crochet hooks,sewing machine and knitting needles to keep me company! How SAD is that! Unfortunately, other things like work, seem to get in the way and by the time I actually have time to spend on my guilty pleasures, I can`t be bothered! Today, however, I think my mojo may have returned......

I`d almost forgotten about the latest `giveaway` which I was included in until I checked out Dosie Rosie`s blog on Sunday morning and discovered I`d won! I`m thrilled yet again that I`ve been so lucky and today when I got home from work, my neighbour called me over and handed me the parcel which our kind postman had left  with her for me. Here for your delictation and delight is what was inside:


Firstly, the prettiest card with a lovely message from Gill.

Followed by two of the prettiest little pouches which were filled to the brims with ...............................



.........the sweetest selection of buttons and beads to get me started on my way to making some of these...................
I`ve always wanted one of these necklaces :: now I can make it myself!
....and this necklace is just adorable - I love the colourway - this is second on the list!
This bag charm is so cute - I have started one already! Easy Peasy - I think!
...and of course, something for Xmas.....that should take me nicely up until December with works in progress!Hooray for mojos!

A HUGE THANK YOU to Gill for letting me take part in her Giveaway - I`m so glad I won.
