My Parcel went to Kim who blogs as The Material Lady, and if you don’t know her , she is an amazing and very talented lady. She sews divinely and knits socks and all manner of wonderful garments. So what on earth to make for her as she had been a very good girl this year.
Reading her blog I discovered she feels the cold , and last year had been thrilled to receive a shawl. So I made a pair of gloves and a matching hat.
Next it was time to fill the stocking I made for some smaller gifts
A crochet pot, a lavender filled owl and lemon pin cushion from leftover yarn
A Santa sack for
some useful accessories and finally my whole £10 budget went on
West Yorkshire Spinners yarn and a pattern. In went a card , and as Kim also blogs as The Old Bat at the Back, as she runs as well you know, on the back of the envelope went a hand-made
Once again thanks go to Sewchet for her inspiration in thinking this up and her remarkable organisational skills so we all have wonderful squishy Christmas presents. And there is to be another one in 2018 Sewchet wrote yesterday. What a way to start 2018.

[…] These were wonderful and deserve a full post (again, after the new year) but I will say to both Nana Cathy and Deborah of Sweet Fallen Angels that their parcels were fabulous! I’m really looking […]
What a great present you created! I bet she loved it
Kim emailed me to thank me , I think she liked it.
Very thoughtful gift. Love the Santa socking.
Thank you.
Lovely gifts. The gloves and hat look lovely and warm. As you know I love the stocking and the cheeky bat is brilliant! 🙂
Thanks Bekki, the bat simply had to be made.
So nicely done, Cathy!! Love the stocking!
Thanks Kathy.
What an amazing package! Kim was very lucky!
Thank you.
You can be my Secret Santa anytime!!! I love your hand made stocking!!❤️
Oh bless you, thanks.
Oh that Bat’s adorable Cathy! 🦇
Thanks!
lots of lovely surprises there ^^
Thank you.
Brilliant!! She is going to be thrilled!
She emailed me to say she was very happy.
That’s a wonderful bunch of goodies you have lovingly created and put together Cathy 😊 ❤
Thank you.
I’m so pleased you made such lovely things for Kim as she made me such lovely gifts. I hadn’t come across her blog before but I’m a follower now!
Thanks, she was a tough cookie because she makes such super things and so well. I too am now her follower. And she can run!
I hadn’t realised about the running until I read this post from you… now that is impressive.
What a lovely selection of gifts. I love how we have all worked at personalising our presents – the bat is brilliant!
I decided she had to have a bat the moment I read her other blog. I love doing the research bit and deciding what to make. It is a really fun part of Christmas.
I bet the gloves and hat will be popular, judging by the UK weather I see on the news!
Kim sent me a lovely thank you email and said that she would be wearing them both straightaway.
No surprise there, then! 🙂
What a wonderful selection of goodies full of cosy cuddliness and loving thoughtfulness. Mrs Santa, you did well!
Thank you, it was such fun.
I have Santa stocking envy.
I love making the stockings, there could well be another one next year!
