On the fifth day of Christmas . . .

My very own Mummy gave to me . . .

a Christmas Bon Bon


opened by The Princess



and inside a fabric covered box, and as Babes would say "with embellishments"


and inside the box, a hideous green thing . . .








which turned out to be a fabulous felted cuff. Mine has a bow on the top, lots of sparkly beads and blanket stitching. ( I have to say Hazel, I do believe your blanket stitching is neater!!)


















All in all, very gorgeous, very funky, it has not left my wrist this morning!

Thanks Mummy!!!

Now I am up off the floor from laughing so much......!!!! you set the bar so high Rachael in the area of blog posting I am sure your (beautiful, talented, intelligent, kind, generous...) mother was trying to encourage me to keep trying, so maybe one day I too can have a gorgeous photo appear beside my comments and get my photo's and text to line up properly, just like yours :) I know Liz loves you more cos you got a bigger bead on your cuff than I did!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Miranda
