AMAH'S (EDNA) GIFT TO US

12 of these , and 24 pieces of tiny cross stitch to make this most beautiful and exquisite Christmas tree decoration , plus assembling the pieces to make it , and look-that isn't all......... Mine has a little boot attacked to the bottom, plus the red ribbon to hang it -it is so lovely and I am so impressed that Amah at 82 can actually see to stitch such fine work.
And I do believe that it is stuffed with Lavender - FANTASTIC!!!
Amah's tag was so nice and my camera didn't pick up the other side , but there is a nice little (Stick On) Christmas message as well.
Another wee parcel, that gave no indication of the contents -surprise!!!!
Amah, as you will all realise is my Son-In-Law's maternal Grandmother, and when Steve was a little boy , he couldn't say Grandma (or I think that is the story)
And yes, Amah has crafted and stitched for ever, and if any of you are ever here at Christmas time, -her house is filled with the most beautiful Christmas decorations of all kinds, beautifully made -I am lucky enough to live close by.
Thank you Amah -your gift is simply beautiful and soooo neat
