Prezzies...ooohhh.. what fun!

I love making gifts for my friends.

This year's ornament gifts included tiny model railway scale people in wintry scenes.

All made into metal tart tins.

I also knitted a kitty cat scarf for my niece. The yarn gave lovely natural stripes.

I also love fun mail.

You know, real mail. 

Packages in your mailbox...

A sweet Canadian friend organized a favorite things swap.

I sent out five envelopes filled with favorites (and yes, I forgot to take a pic, but as I recall there was chocolate, tea and Marimekko napkins.. I can't remember if there was something else too..)

I've received three packages so far.

 (had to try that nail polish right away!)

 *so much fun*

And then I love friends who know me so very well.

Friends who know just what to bring me from a trip.

 Yes.

A lego men ice cube mold!

And coasters.

And magnets!

Same friend also gave me this.

*squeel*

I may have to knit her fifteen pairs of wool socks now :D

 And lastly, I love my hubby.

I now have a radio in my studio.

A radio I have lovingly lusted after for years.

Oh is it ever pretty...

..my precioussss....
