Gifts From New Zealand! SWOON!

Good Morning Friends! It has been nice and cool in the evenings with very warm sunny days. I finally got my appetite back after it has been missing for almost 4 weeks! I am still on a bland diet, but able to eat more because I am feeling a little better. I go in for the scope in a few hours.

I received a lovely package from Lee in the mail yesterday! Back in June, Lee had asked if anyone would care for this sweet, little bunny chart.
I was actually confused when the package arrived, since I was expecting an envelope with a chart. Not a package with gifts!
Isn't that the neatest thing? To receive an official "New Zealand" cross stitch kit. I am referring to the Kiwi in the center. Guess what?! Brian and Madeleine both want me to make it for them! Well, I think they may have to share. ;) I love the animal charts. All five of us in this family are animal lovers.♥
These sweet, little silver charms were attached to each small package that Lee gave me. The two poodles! are buttons.♥
Isn't this flower fob attached to the ruler just lovely! Such very fine work. I will share something with you. I was showing and explaining each gift to Brian. I got choked up with this ruler. I remember many posts ago, Lee sharing with us that her dear Paul drilled each hole into her supply of rulers. What a special gift!♥
Look at this my friends!! An adorable bunny measuring tape in PINK!!! Love! Love!
Every single one of us in this house(and that includes the two teenage boys Lee!) had to test it out. As Emerson said, "That is cool! How did she do that?" hahaha! How indeed! Lee you truly have a God given talent in needlework. This is not the first time I have told you this. I am ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE I am not the only one to say that either! Lee, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I cherish these gifts, I do!

Stitching and praying,
Vickie

You really hit the jackpot! Lee is indeed an incredible needlewoman and very generous. Enjoy her beautiful work and all the goodies. I love the memory of Paul attached to drilling the holes in the rulers. And wasn't it just perfect to include the poodle buttons!

Glad your appetite is returning and hope the scope goes well.

Finally caught up on your last month of blog posts, Vickie! I'm so sorry to read about the ulcers and do hope the GI specialist will find some medication to help. They sound awfully painful... Great news about the Neurontin being approved, too! I'm sure once you get the ulcers cleared up, you'll feel like a whole new woman :)

Lovely gifts from Lee--her needlework is amazing. And, be assured, that I've taken a photo of your sweet needle threader and will show it to all on my next post (hopefully next week). Thank you again, Vickie, for it and for the most unusual gift ever to come through my mailbox--those iris bulbs :)

What an amazing package to come home to! WOW! It's a good thing we don't live closer because I would have snitched that bunny tape ;o) Lee was truly kind and I hope you are enjoying every bit of it!
