Postal preciousness
Posted under Witterings
Awful title I know but I’m sick and my head is thick and has no imagination today. But look what Postman Andy brought, a lovely and perfect present all the way from lovely Elizabeth in Denmark. I have another piece of her work in my home, her gift to me at Blog Camp last year and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have another, custom made to ORDER piece. Oh, I’ve just remembered I also have a lovely Christmas decoration too which arrived as part of Elizabeth’s decoration swap. Lucky lucky me!
How clever she is! These photos aren’t really doing her work justice, I’m using a borrowed camera and am finding it hard to work to get to grips with. What vibrant colours and perfect, neat embroidery. The colours are just right but then, they should be, because they the colours I asked for when I inadvertently ordered it. Earlier this month, Elizabeth celebrated her 500th blog post by asking her readers what they thought she should work on next. Or that is how I read it. What she was actually doing was offering to gift something, so when I said ‘something in bright, vivid colours’ that’s what I got.
The back of the potholder is knitted in a delicate duckegg blue, with a crochet (I think?) trim. I’m not sure why the Momjii doll hopped in to this picture, but I wasn’t about to argue.
Thank you Elizabeth! In a note accompanying the package Elizabeth suggested that I pass the potholder along if I didn’t like it. WHAT?! Is she nuts? Nooo, it’s mine. all mine. To be treasured. xx
Just enjoy it, that is the best compliment and get well soon.
Your gift is soooo lovely Elizabeth! I wonder – was it hard to produce? I am trying to start doing some more handworks as I feel like being at least a bit creative after the day spent running the business in the office. So I am looking for some good tips for beginners now!
