Born Abroad

Marlene of Somerset House of

http://somersethouseaproject.blogspot.com/ 

sent me a goody package. I am happy to be

the recipient of 2 of her cross stitched rugs - the 

tiger and the green one in the middle. I know

exactly which apartments are going to get them.

I never learned how to crochet but I love those

items. The blue and green crocheted blanket is

adorable. If I just fold it in half one of my

little dolls can have a shawl.

The christmassy apron is so cute. It has

hearts, a snowman and a gingerbread man on it.

The little white cotton doily will make a nice addition

to my sewing apartment. I will place it under the

cutting table to make that area bright on the wood

floor. When I went to the camper I took the 2

magazines with me. There are some nice things

in those magazines. Can you see the package that is

between the magazine and the cross stitch pattern.

That paper is instructions for inkjet fabric sheets.

With my trusty magnifier glass I read the directions 

while at the camper.

Inside of the plastic are 3 fabric sheets.

In a couple of days I plan to check this out.

I do plan on cross stitching the rug pattern as

soon as my eyes heal enough for me to be

able to see the holes in the aida cloth.

All of these items were in a little black compartmented

box. Some of this was wrapped up in tissue paper.

 The white tablecloth is so soft. I do not know yet

where I will put it. The cameo's will make nice

needleminders. There are 2 toys for Elizabeth's

children Ally and Allison. They will love them.

The jewelry pieces are really nice. They just might

get a makeover and go into a shabby chic room

that I am thinking of making. Marlene made me

one of her pipe cleaner dogs. I had never seen one

of them before but it is so sweet.

The silk hat was a surprise. It is so lovely.

Thank you very much Marlene.

I do like your package and I am glad to know that

you like mine.

Thank you for visiting me.

Many hugs and kisses sent to everyone,
