Seekrit Santa

So last night was our Stitch and Bitch Christmas party, hosted by Kate - who was the hostess with the mostest.

Nibbles were eaten, mulled wine was drank (not too much for me as I was driving and working this morning). We are all rather fond of cooking and are all talented in our own ways of cooking; there was some fantastic brownies, cakes and key lime pie. As I have been crazily busy at work, I had to chicken out and bring nuts and crisps.

We swapped our secret santa gifts. We departed from the norm this year and all made a gift which we would then allocate at the party. I finished mine a few weeks ago and managed to photograph my gifts before I wrapped them up.

Apologies for the quality of my images, I misplaced my tripod (which has since been found!).

As an added bonus, I made some Russian Doll stitch markers :)

I must say; the gifts that everyone picked really suited them :) The scarf looks awesome on James!

I will have to photograph the needle roll that I got, because it's awesome :)

After watching Merlin, I thought I'd offer up some tasty eye candy.
