New Zealand, winter time ........





........... here in the Netherlands we've got a very warm day, about 33 Celsius. So I worked in the morning, and then came home around 13.00 p.m. and found a lovely package in my mailbox. I really was a suprise I didn't expect anything. But it travelled from down under all the way to The Hague. Thank you Margaret, I really love it what you made, you do such beautiful work, lovely colours, and I'm very fond of chocolate, and I love little silver jewelry. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. Oke here some details, I don't know much about embroidery. The needle case is Wessex Stitchery, wich was revived from Britain by New-Zeland embroiderer. For the colours she choose the colours of the NZ Pua Shell, a shell fish. That makes it very special.

Oh, that looks gorgeous! The colors are beautiful and I love that way of stitching, it look a little bit like blackwork, only the way the circles are stitched is unfamiliar to me.
