The postman arrived again :-)

It is a beautiful sunny but cold day here on the east coast but I am smiling as I got a surprise in the mail today , I had won a giveaway on Carolyn's blog , the Clenbar Cottage and the package arrived this morning , yippeeeeee! It is such fun opening squishy packages when you are not quite sure what is going to be inside , well I was not disappointed for sure . Carolyn sent me two Australian Homespun magazines , I love those magazines and they are really difficult to get here .She also included a really cute kit for a Christmas stocking with a hanger included and some Christmas prints .Thank you so much Carolyn , I really appreciate each and every thing in this package .You made my day extra special :-)
 I have been trying to decide what to do with my landscape , I really was not happy with it the way it was so I took the binding off and was going to add a border but I tried something else instead , I had this antique picture frame and it was the perfect size so I placed the landscape inside the frame and I really like this look , what do you think ? Forgive me for the glare , it is not unglare glass of course although I may replace it with the unglare as this glass is not in the best of shapes anyway .
 I think the gold frame goes well with the colors in the landscape , I'll see what Hubby thinks when he comes home . No sewing happening here so far today , I have been cleaning house , not my favorite passtime but it needed to be done . Hope you are enjoying your day and thanks so much for the visit it is always a pleasure to have you stop by.
 hugs Sheila

  6. What a wonderful win you had! I like your landscape in the frame very much. I am wondering if adding some embellishment to it would wow it up too.

  8. Enjoy those magazines you lucky girl!! The landscape looks perfect in the frame, me personally, I think I would loose the glass. No glass in a quilt either and this way you can still notice the relief of the different fabrics .... curious what your husband said hihi. Hug, Daniëlle
