...i treated myself last year to this lovely, knitted, lambswool, fair aisle dolly by
Sally Nencini....
...i was having a very bad/sad day and she was so soft and snuggly and comforting...
...she has sat all alone until....
...monkey arrived this christmas!!
..i think she looks much happier...
monkey was a much loved and unexpected gift from a husband who felt there were enough
critters and dollies and monkeys in the house already....
(so imagine my utter delight and surprise...
...i think even a little tear was shed)
...there were so many lovely gifts but i just had to share this new craft bag with you...
i'm a bit of a 'mad men' fan...
and really rather wish i looked like the blonde one.....
*sigh*
...in my dreams....but i've got the bag!

It's the best thing, isn't it, when someone knows you SO well that they will give you something so against what they like themselves. What a thoughtful thing your husband did for you! The monkey looks devious ... watch him! The doll does look so soft and warm! Wendy
