Sorry if it has already been organized but I think it would be fun to send a wee parcel (that is if the post is not on strike) With home made goodies to someone ho would appreciate
Let me know what you think

Yay! I got home to find mine. It's a really really beautiful crocheted scarf in "my" colours - dark green and pink AND a crocheted reindeer loo roll holder I think. Although DS insists its a puppet. Anyway, I am thrilled and feel really spoiled. I wasn't expecting anything quite so lovely, they are both really beautifully made.
Thankyou mystery mnetter xxxx

ChilloHippi · 22/12/2009 18:32

It's so lovely that people are pleased I'm waiting for my poodle to arrive!!

BumpersSanta · 22/12/2009 18:54

Glad it's arrived, Bumper.

I made it and I give you permission to open it!!!!!

CharCharGabor · 22/12/2009 19:47

I'm glad you like them miamla The cranes were trickier than I expected but glad they're ok.

dizzyday07 · 22/12/2009 20:51

I'm still waiting too

JackTheHallsWithBauersOfHolly · 22/12/2009 21:56

Tatty, tell you ds he is wrong it is a loo roll holder.

I really hope that the rest arrive in the next few days. I have faith. well, in you lot that is, not Royal Mail....

tattycoram · 22/12/2009 21:59

Aha, I had a very strong inkling I knew who it was from. Thank you. I LOVE the scarf xxx

HohohoBumperlicious · 22/12/2009 22:12

Hello secret santa, I'm actually ok with saving it, gives me something to look forward to coming home to

If I wasn't feeling so knackered I'd do some super-sleuthing to see if I could figure out who my SS is. Another day maybe...

JackTheHallsWithBauersOfHolly · 22/12/2009 22:15

I thought I was being so subtle
So glad you like it, and glad the colours are right, I was having such a hard time deciding!

And sorry about the loo roll holder, but it had to be done!

Now, tell me about these cranes!

BumpersSanta · 22/12/2009 22:28

Urm, don't get too excited, Bumper.

Do hope you like it, though.

As for who I am, tis a mystery (even to myself).

ChilloHippi · 22/12/2009 23:46

I love the festive mist!!!!! And in the words of that girl on Big Brother the other year, 'who is she????!!!'

tattycoram · 23/12/2009 05:46

Oh, it sounds from my last post as if I don't like the reindeer and I do, I do!

I really want to learn to crochet myself. I keep seeing really fantastic toys that I'd like to make.

Skifflerssanta · 23/12/2009 07:39

Hey Skiffler, glad you liked the prezzies! I was a bit worried about how the gloves turned out but I'm so glad you like them and that they fit! Glad Lily is having a good time too

got any of that festive mist going spare?! .....

Hi ChilloHippi
Its your very own secret santa here!
I'm just writing you a quick note to let you know that your gifts were dropped down the Royal Mail's chimney on Monday in the first class channel.
I feel its only fair to warn you now that the elves and I struggled for a while to make you a toilet roll cover but our crochet skills were just too slow to finish it in time. I appreciate that you've been a good girl and that you really do deserve what you asked Santa for and I'm very sorry.
I really hope you understand and that you like the substitutions the elves created for you. We did a fair bit of reading of some of your old threads (it felt a bit stalkerish to be honest!) and you mentioned that you'd really like a particular thing so that's what I asked the elves to make for you.
There's a little something in there for your DC as well but its up to you whether or not you share it!
Ho Ho Ho and a Merry Christmas to you all
from your
Santa
x

ps sorry the kiss was tickly, my public insists i have a beard. Annoys me no end, I keep losing mince pie crumbs in it!

ChilloHippi · 23/12/2009 11:27

Oooh Santa, you lovely person! I can't wait! I dread to think what you read about me from my posts...did you knit some wine as I talk about that a lot!!!!!!!!

santaForChilloHippi · 23/12/2009 11:34

worry not ChilloHippi, your secret's safe with me

I really hope you remember that you wanted this particular thing when you see what it is!

ChilloHippi · 23/12/2009 11:55

Wow! Postman has been and I am so chuffed It's fantastic, and yes, I remember talking about it. I love the colours too. The stocking is on my tree, and DS is over the moon with his new 'friend'. He's currently talking with it (on his hand) about Dora the Explorer.
It's such lovely stuff, and was so beautifully wrapped. Thank you so much xx

DingDongMiamlaOnHigh · 23/12/2009 12:07

you've opened it already then I see!

DingDongMiamlaOnHigh · 23/12/2009 12:07

bums! i didn't namechange!

DingDongMiamlaOnHigh · 23/12/2009 12:08

arse! just realised, from my first message I could have just been an interested bystander!

hey ho!

looks like i'm out the closet!

DingDongMiamlaOnHigh · 23/12/2009 12:13

Happy Christmas ChilloHippi!
Really pleased you both like your pressies. Has DS got a name for his new friend yet?

ChilloHippi · 23/12/2009 12:55

Hee hee! I know who you are so I can thank you in person now, so thank you
My DS is three and has imaginatively named him Puppet. Which fits in well with his other favourite toys, Doggie, Small Doggie, Cat and Cushion!

BumpersSanta · 23/12/2009 14:09
DingDongMiamlaOnHigh · 23/12/2009 15:08

chillohippi, you see, this is why i don't name change! Puppet is a marvelous name for him! Oh, and I knew your DS was three from my stalking
Very relieved you remember harking after a snood! DP was a bit about it!

bumper's santa.. you alright there? need some arnica for that bruise? although not sure i've got enough to cover the whole of Santa sized bum so use it sparingly !
