no exchange this year

After collecting votes over the past few days, I was hoping to get to 10 participants or more, and we didn’t. Because of this (and actually also because I’m trying to get my book finished!) I’ve decided not to run the Christmas ornament exchange this year.

I’m sorry for those of you who were excitedly […]

ornament exchange

Just wanting to bring to your attention our possible Christmas ornament exchange again. So far we only have about 4 people wanting to take part, which means I would not be likely to run it with so few participants.

At this stage I’m only wanting expressions of interest, so if you say you’re interested, you’re […]

Ornament exchange again?

Last year here at White Threads I organised a Christmas ornament exchange. I have been wondering about whether to run it again, as I’m not sure it was entirely successful last year. I just wasn’t sure that everyone received their ornaments. However, no-one let me know that they *didn’t* receive the one that was promised […]

A snowy Christmas

I’ve explained that here in Sydney we don’t get snow at any time of the year, but particularly not at Christmas! However, due to a bit of a ridiculously out of season cold snap, the Snowy Mountains (quite some hours south of Sydney) DID get snow right near Christmas time!

My snowy Christmas arrived in […]

Christmas swap ornaments

Today I will start showing you some of the ornaments sent and received in our Christmas swap. Mine still hasn’t arrived, but we have not yet had any further mail deliveries since Christmas, so that is not surprising! Hopefully in the next few days… 🙂

Today I have two ornaments to show you. One made […]

sending off my Christmas ornament

Today I’ll be sending off my ornament for the 2010 Vetty Creations Christmas ornament swap. If you’re taking part, you’ll probably need to be sending yours off as soon as possible so that it reaches its recipient a good time before Christmas so that they can enjoy it!

If you could email me or comment […]

To follow up on the needlework Christmas ornament swap I proposed a little while back, we have already had a good number of people indicate that they want to join in, which is great. But I want to allow the opportunity for anyone else to also join in. I will set the deadline for signing […]
