sisters box & mo's birthday pressies...

are at the door, ready to be picked up by the courier! YAY! So avert your eye's Rebekah! Better yet, close down the window and come back tomorrow...

My nephew Massimo turned two last Thursday and his naughty aunty (think - me!) forgot the date and so didn't send it in time. Still, a week late is better than never, right?!?

I've been having fun with applique recently and so he get's two appliqued t shirts:

and a crayon wrap (of course!) made back in January! See, I didn't totally forget his birthday...

And then there's the sister box, that Rebekah and I were going to send back and forth... I've been collecting little things for it for about 6-8 months and haven't sent them on to her! Can you tell I'm feeling bad yet? :(

I found this tin on one of my op shop adventures and knew I had to buy it for Beck's!

Don't you just love the colours?! Red & Pink, my favourite...

Some sewing bits and bobs, and a cloth I made way back...

some other bizzare stuff...

I love you Rebekah ( & little Mo'), sorry about my tardiness!

The Sister Box

My wonderful sister has just posted me the first of many (I hope/she hopes) back and forth parcels. I read about the sister box first about 4-5 months ago on somebodies blog - and I thought hmmmm, that would be great for Rebekah and me! So I sent her the link (can't find it now) and we both agreed it would be a fantastic thing to do!

Rebekah is my most wonderfully creative baby sister who lives in the South Island and I live in the North Island (New Zealand). I am always seeing things she'd like and she is always seeing things I'd like and so it seems the perfect excuse to spoil each other! We have both been collecting things for each other since my visit to Christchurch in April, was it really that long ago? Seems like just yesterday!

Today, she finally put it all into action by sending me the first parcel, and now it's up to me to carry on the challenge! Keep an eye out on your post box over the coming couple of weeks Rebekah! ;)

Look at what she posted me!


My favourite things are the fabric (I love love love orange and pink together) and the neat tea cup, although I really just love it all - Thanks so much Rebekah! :)
