According to the Santa Tracker, he is now making his way down the east coast of Australia so it is time for (some of) you to open your gifts!

When you have, please post a picture for us all to see.

Well, priorities this morning went as follows: Feed cat, walk 2 greyhounds, water out front, feed dogs, water out back (we're expecting 35deg Celsius here today -ugh!). Then I've opened my gift from my secret santa Cutie -now that my time is my own :) It's fantastic. About to load a photo.

OMG!!! It is Christmas Eve here in VA. My envelop is still laying in the chair, I can't believe I haven't opened it. Go to my Nephew's tonight and to my Friend's house, and his family tomorrow. Won't be home until late tomorrow afternoon. I will open it then.
Merry Christmas to everyone!!! And the Happiest New Year.

Fingers crossed that your gift arrives soon. It's certainly the time of year for tolerance and understanding. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait and meanwhile you get to enjoy seeing lots of other gifts and know the work that has gone into them :)

I know it is on its way, please be patient for a little while longer.

Good morning, it's 7.00am in Newcastle and my gift is just stunning. It's a hand drawn picture of a Rooster. It's just beautiful and the hours of expert work astounds me. God bless whoever made this for me.

Merry Christmas everyone, and I wish peace, health and joy for the coming festive season and may 2016 bring everything you wish for.

Love and blessings Chris, Newcastle, Australia

I'm surprised you didn't ask your neighbour to open it and send a pic, Pauline :)
by Leaha 25 Dec 2015
Maybe as my little friend says...'she wants to be in suspenders' awhile longer. lol
by nonna57 25 Dec 2015
Should i ask her to open fro me or shall i wait. Mabey my SS might pop in a hint :)
by greysewist 25 Dec 2015
Depends on whether you get more joy from the actual opening of the parcel or from knowing what's in it, I think!

Here is my gift - it is an absolutely beautiful sewing caddy. However, I am at a loss as to the use of the plain green fleece section. I hope someone can enlighten me!
Thank you SS, I really appreciate the time and effort which has gone into this lovely gift.
14 comments
by crafter2243 25 Dec 2015
It is a very nice gift and super practical. Could it be that the plain fleece is for saving needle and pins?
by queenofhearts 25 Dec 2015
Is the fleece to anchor it under your machine?
by cfidl 25 Dec 2015
I was thinking anchor as well. Excellent gift!
by pennifold 25 Dec 2015
The anchor is a good idea, but I'd personally use it for placing pins and needles in it. Beautiful and useful gift Sue. Love Chris
by greysewist 25 Dec 2015
Did the organiser manage to keep her SS Cutie a secret from herself??? The fleece part could be as others have said, a mat for under the machine, a pin and needle mat, or perhaps a protective layer so that sharp or metal stuff doesn't rub :) Very nice indeed, SS!
by crosses 25 Dec 2015
Wonderful gift and cute sunbonnet.
by ethan 26 Dec 2015
A real mystery this fleece, perhaps it is to keep hands warm when sewing. If you find the answer let us all know. G
by sewfrenzie 26 Dec 2015
crafter 2243 is correct, it is for saving pins. You roll it up to stick your pins in. Here is a link to a site that has the pattern for those interested in making one. http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/sewing/other/tooly-tool-holder-easel/119430?rceId=1451094327722~i9nfqgtj
by embquilt 26 Dec 2015

by marianb 29 Dec 2015
A wonderful gift..
by toogie 09 Jan 2016
The fleece may be used underneath, when your easel stands, you think? There is pockets for machine needles but I'm sure you could use the fleece for hand needle,as well as the standing of the easel so it doesn't slip, when used. Either way, a very nice project,SS.

Thank you so much secret sister. I feel as if I had received 2 gifts. Since one was a card you were staying within the “one” rule. I will treasure both items. I am only sorry that my picture taking skills do not do justices to the beauty of the items, specially of the angel which is full of sparkle. Thank you so much

Apologies to my SS for taking so long to post but THANK YOU for your beautiful gift. I have been sent a beautiful fsl heart shaped trinket box. Pictures often don't do justice to work and my photo doesn't show the stunning purple colour as its much more vivid than my photo here. There are also small silver decorations within the design. Please could my SS let Sue know where the design came from. Thanks

Woo hoo. I've just heard that the very last gift has arrived!
The first gift for this person was lost somewhere in the post so the Secret Santa very kindly made another.
The recipient will post a picture as soon as she can, but at least this post brings the thread back to the first page so she can find it!
