From Friends!

How are you spending your weekend?
I hope you all have wonderful weekends!

Recently I haven't been stitching at all, just busy unpacking and tidying up my new old house...

And have been driving up to the nearest city to look for what's there around.

By the way, I have been still talking about Christmas, lol
Sorry about that, but I really want to show off what I've received from precious friends!
This is what I've received from littlehands, just before Christmas!

She sent me chocolates which she wrapped and they were in the tin which she made, I think.And as she knows that I like PINK, she added a small perfume from BVLGARI which is in the pink bottle, it smells so nice!

And also added a small cross stitch kit and lovely hair-pin which she has chosen as imagining me, I heard!
How did you know that I always use this kind of lovely hair-pin?!
I was surprised when I've heard why she has chosen this!

This is the close up photo of chocolates that she sent me!
Lovely aren't they?

Thanks for your thoughtful presents, littlehands!



And here is the photo of the present that I've received from Japanese blog friend, Hiyo.
She presented me lovely Pinkeep, and needlebook kit, teas, and lovely candy cane!

She is one of very good friend, although we've met just online, but even after I've quited Japanese blog, we have been keeping in touch by e-mail!

This is a close up photo of her Pinkeep!
Sorry that I don't have a dictionary with me right now, I don't know the title of this story in English, but the design is from fairly tales.

It's very lovely and I also like the backing fabric which she has chosen for this Pinkeep.

She is very good at cross stitching, moreover she is so fast to stitch and finish!!
I'm always surprised how fast she is, and always love her tastes.

Thanks Hiyo, I also had to stitch something for your Birthday, but it's too late, lol
Please look forward something from me, without any expectation!

Your gifts are wonderful what thoughtful friends you have, the design looks like The Ugly Duckling, he turns into a beautiful swan when he grows up... I think.
