Last Wednesday I stitched most of the day. I wanted to finish the projects that I had been making for an Instagram Christmas in July Swap. Posting date wasn't until July 13 but I wanted to be early for once...
By late Wednesday afternoon the gifts were wrapped. Still 'smarting' 2 years later from paying $27 for postage of 2 mug rugs being sent to a North American address, I kept the parcel as flat as possible. One of the workers at our little local post office had recently told me the 'flat' trick. I had rolled those mug rugs and put them in a tiny post bag...they made a thick parcel...so expensive postage!
( the postage on this parcel was a more acceptable $14.50)
So now a little look at what I sent...
Some Christmas iron on labels
Some novelty buttons and some stickers...
I didn't do that machine embroidery...a lady on Etsy who embroiders this design on towels, was quite happy to embroider on a piece of homespun instead. I think you may have guessed that the recipient rather likes horses????
And a hexie table centre... The darker green hexies feature little rocking horses! Lol
On Wednesday night, DH went to the State of Origin Match #3 ( a rugby league match with Queensland vs New South Wales) with DsD2. The ticket had been his birthday present from all the girls and 2 partners. He wore his last year's Christmas gift from DSD2 and her husband...
He had a wonderful time...all the atmosphere and a very exciting game which saw Qld the winner 52-6!!!
And I had a lovely quiet night at home :-)
