Presents From Oz.

Back in February I was reading Lulullollylegs Blog when I saw a link she'd added for someone called Kellie , so I thought I'd pop across to say Hello.
Since I started my Blog I have met some lovely people and Kellie is one of them. Whenever I have been stuck with something or needed help or advice she has helped me or pointed me in the right direction. A few weeks ago as a thank you for all her help I sent her a small present.
Then yesterday we very fortunate to recieve an unexpected gift that she sent us all the way from Australia. When she had said she was sending a parcel I was expecting stamps for Milo!
When we opened the box I was lost for words as we unwrapped gift after gift, can you see all this?





There were cushions for Baby G and Milo


This is the back of the monster cushion


There was a bag for Milo - he loves things with his name on and the cars are like his favourite VW Beetles.


Inside the bag were 2 books with gorgeous pictures and information on Australia,


There was fabric and a tissue holder for me ( excuse the trying to be arty picture which failed miserably!). All the fabrics she used are just gorgeous.


That little blue fella is trying to sneak in again!


There were sweets, postcards from Megan, Benjamin and Jessica, a tin of ' Milo ' and some ' Milo ' energy bars ( he doesn't normally get chocolate early in a morning)


I hope I didn't forget anything, it was like Christmas came early!


Thank you so much Kellie, you have thoroughly spoilt us.

It was my absolute pleasure! After I made the monster pillow I was a bit worried that Milo might not have liked it ... Jessie was terrified of it and said that there was 'no way' that she would put that 'thing' in her room :).

What a gorgeous and generous gift Lisa! Kellie does such beautiful work - those cushions look great and perfect for boys rooms. Lucky Milo to have a chocolate bar with his name on ...if only they would make a Lisa bar we would both be set!

Milo is definitely putting his stamp of approval on those Milo bars! You must have been over the moon to receive this most generous parcel and all the way from Australia too. Kellie's work is beautifully made and she uses lovely fabrics too. x
