Findings

Happy New Year to one and all of my blogging friends!

First find in 2012: a red envelope with a toy soldier sticker stuck on the back, addressed to me (of course!). Who wouldn't be curious what was in it?

Well... the contents, as you can see, are a teddy bear-shaped card and a little knitted stocking! I was totally blown away. Who could have sent me this?

I had no clue even after looking at the name and address of the sender on the front. The name's "Fox". My first reaction was our very own Fox @Tat-ology! Nope. Sorry about the mistaken identity, Fox.

Then it occurred to me that I saw this miniature stocking on a blog. Oh forgetful me... I can't recall which. To cut the story short, I look in all the blog links I have on my blog margin and follow. Finally found the wonderful person who sent this.

I'd won this awesome stocking from Teresa @Stitching 'n' Knitting. I must have missed the announcement of the winners. A kind soul must have given Teresa my mailing address. Thank you, whoever you are. (Do tell me who you are.) Thanks, Teresa, for sending this gift!

My shuttle will go into the stocking when it's loaded and brought around.

Next find: a pair of goldfish!

Aren't they lovely? They are for my little sister who's been pestering me to make her some clay goldfish. I'm glad I found them for her.
