Good morning - and I have to say a much better morning here weather-wise than yesterday when we were greeted by high winds and torrential rain. Driving back from shopping we almost had to pull over as we could not see where we were driving for a few seconds.
A few weeks ago, I saw that some of my favourite bloggers were involved in creating beautiful crochet dollies. In the summer I had purchased a doily pattern book but, try as I might, I could not find any crochet cotton in any of the craft shops I frequent. I happened to mention this in a comment on Betsy's lovely blog when admiring the amazing doily she had made. The next thing I know, I receive a lovely message from her asking if she could send me some crochet cotton! I was so touched by this very generous gesture from her. Within a few days a big box arrived all the way from America. Would you like to see what this lovely lady sent to me?
Wow...
Just the right crochet thread for my patterns...and a lovely card with such a sweet message (this will be going on my office wall where I display favourite cards I have received from friends)...
...not just one big ball, but two!! And then, so thoughtfully, she included some coloured thread too so that I can accent some of the doilies I will be making...
Just look at this yarn, I can see why it has this name as I love it too!! It is sooooo deliciously soft...
A beautiful decoration with crochet and beads, this is already hanging on my bookcase...
And, just look at this sweet tin of hot chocolate, I am saving this for when I finish work for the holidays, a special treat to look forward to...
Betsy, I am truly blessed to count you amongst my friends. I hope that you will like the little package I have sent to you, with much love to you.
Bloggers really are the best!!
Have a lovely Sunday, Helenxx
