October Skies

I had a piece of registered mail at the Post Office since the first of the month.

It is so inconvenient to go there but after my last "reminder" yesterday... I decided to go ahead and stop at the Post Office on my way to work today. They opened their window for me even though it was before time to open. I had a package from Malaysia? What could that be?

It was my wonderful Friendship Bag! It was waiting there for me for two weeks!

My swap partner is Aida! Thank you so much! I love it!

I can't believe that she that she hand quilted this little bag! Goodness! And do you see all the extra goodies that she added to my bag? So sweet and thoughtful! The little details are incredible! I wish I could have gotten a better picture

of the embroidery work on the heart. I am in awe!

she has a lovely blog and after seeing it ... i decided to send her something Malaysian
( KLCC and Malaysia thimbles...batik handkerchief and tissue case...needle case..)
glad that she likes those items sent to her....:)

bears are here ...

here i am ...
making 4 little blue bears for 4 little princesses that touches my heart ...xoxoxo



Airish's bear with blue ribbon ...










Aina's bear with red ribbon ...















Alia's bear with light green ribbon ...













and my fourth bear is for my little pricess Daamia ... which it's still under progress ... well, actually Daamia is still in Perlis (her mum's hometown) so ... no rush nenek embah !!!
still using the same fabric but yet to decide what colour of ribbon i'm gonna use....pink or purple ?
