Mel's Own Place

Christmas came from down under a couple of days ago! Shari agreed to swap cottages with me and sent a bunch of fun extras!! First, Shari did a great job on the construction of the cottages! She was worried about her 1/4" but she needn't have! My son loved the one with the foxes sewng in the windows and said "Maybe you could hang this one on my wall in my bedroom!" Shari knows that I stay up real late and put a note with the blue night time cottage that read "Who is still awake this late at night?" Isn't that fun? I have plagued Shari with questions about Australia and how they celebrate Christmas in the summer. The book she sent; Twelve Days of Christmas Australian style is so fun! I think it will become a favorite of our for years to come! Take a look at these exquisite Japaneese fat quarters she sent! The patterns are beautiful with metalic accents. Mail goodies are so fun and I appreciate Shari swapping with me and for the extra goodness!! Happy holidays!
