So, what was in the parcels then?
The first one had some gorgeous Japanese fabric for me and Lesley - but I forgot to get a photo of it so you'll have to wait even longer to see it!
The second was a massive parcel of goodies from my lovely aunt who had been having a clear out of her craft supplies - look how much she sent me!
by the way, these are seriously large pieces of fabric!then there was a brilliant birthday present from Maria at Wonderwoman (not)
with a fab book and lovely yarn and fabrics!
and another birthday present - this time from Jane at Craftyconundrum
a beautiful notebook and cover with a pocket full of pens inside!
- I think there were actually more pens than are shown in the photo but the naughty Little Lockets fell on the parcel as soon as I opened it and ran away with some of them - sorry Jane!
Abother parcel (which actually came a few days earlier) was all the way from Australia with these cheeky girls hiding inside - from the amazingly talented Jodie
fortunately the little gocco-girl hasn't started swearing yet!
And finally I very excitedly opened the large flat parcel that contained this book I had ordered from Rachel's ebay shop
it's brilliant with loads of really gorgeous designs in and I have already started two stitchery projects.But I had been chatting to Rachel for a while, dithering over which Bronwyn Hayes book to buy before deciding on Little Chicken Feather, so I was overwhelmed to find that Rachel had also included the other book I'd admired in my parcel - because she couldn't resist sending it to me! How fantastic is that?
And the book really is fantastic - I'm so delighted to have both!!!I am completely overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of my bloggy friends - you are all amazing! And special thank you's to Maria, Jane, Rachel and Jodie! And thank you too Aunty Margaret!

Fantastic fabulous parcels Mrs Locket. I got a parcel today... "the box" arrived!
Blimey Locket those are some gorgeous goodies you have there. I followed the link to Rachel's shop only to find you got there first and cleared the shelves!!
Just wondering why Jodie's lovely gift was a 'bother' parcel.....were you in a hurry to do this post by any chance? Had someone been phoning you ALL day and stopping you getting on? Can't imagine who that might have been.....was it Uma?

p.s. Aunty Margaret's fabrics would make some mean pj's for the pj party!
There are few things more exciting than remnants of fabric. So much potential. Happy crafting! :o)

Great packages Lucy! It looks like we're living in some parallel universe where we're both getting fabulous packages!!!
Lovely lovely postage Lucy!
I hope Uma made your life better at least if she was going to take all your time up!
Oh crumbs - what wonderful parcels. No wonder you were pleased! Thanks for all the links too - I'm off to explore places now - no link to Auntie Margaret's I suppose? x
pj party! I hear it is a zoo party with bears and dalmations.
love to you both, your big sis
Wonderful mail goodies. I just finished doing three of the stitcheries from the Little Chicken Feather book as samples for someone. Now that DS and DIL are expecting their first child I'll have a reason to make some more of the projects. Enjoy all of your new goodies!

As you sew, so shall you reap. Or something like that. I'm sure it was about sewing anway, which is quite appropriate really.
Anyhoo, what I meant was, all those lovely kinds gifts from people just go to show what a lovely kind person you are!
Sick bucket anyone??

Fab parcels. Post is great that is unless it arrives in the form of a brown envelope marked bill.
Love the Gill Mc Neil book have you read the first one? 'Diva's don't knit' I guess you have. My copy is doing the rounds.
