Here are the mugs for this year........I got a yellow one............
Each year we have a swap and I got a gift from Brenda........
a beautiful ๐star๐ coaster........and a lovely soap......
Mixing it up by Making It and Faking It......
perfectly thoughtful given our dinner theme.......
Trish very kindly gave me these bed socks..........Oh my goodness I have needed them the last few nights.........snug and warm.........
Betty gave me a lovely Chooky casserole carry bag full of the yummy jars below..........
there may be no quince paste left now...........
we had to make sure it tasted ok..........not sure what happened next but it disappeared..........
I had asked Lianne to bring some of her pickled cucumbers if she had any.........
OMG she did they are the best........thankyou
Stephanie gave a demo on how to make these coasters and this one found it's way to my sewing table.........thankyou Stephanie.......
Finally a little bit more shopping..........I need to baste a quilt and it's only small so will try this spray adhesive.............
the cute birdie pins were a must and I liked this sashiko...........
also a little addition to Chapel Street.............
after finding I have a couple of these already once home I am now trying to take some pics of what I can find and have them a little bit more organised............never mind they will be used in something else........
AND finally I split a fat 1/4 pack.............so a nice bundle of fat 1/8's...........
Annette made me do it.............
SO that's it.........
I know Scrub Stitchin' makes my heart sing.......
It's a great part of my "tribe", "community", "social connection" but I know it's important to me and I appreciate the distance those who attend travel to get here..........
Thousands and thousands of km's...........but we all come for the special time with like minded people..........friendships are made, strengthened and deepened.........
I always breath a big sigh of relief once I know everyone is home safe and sound..........
see you all next year.......
who knows what's next on the blog......
Catch you later.........
Chookyblue.........
