SSCS

Thank you to my still secret santa for the SSCS gift! I know my partner is from Finland, and I know her surname... but her blog is not one that I follow I don't think. I could go looking through the sidebar on Chooky's page to do some detective work - but I think I'll just leave it a surprise. I love it that all of these Scandanavian ladies knit so beautifully!! A couple of years ago I had a partner from Norway - and received gorgeous knitted items too! THANK YOU SECRET SANTA!


Our neighbours came back through town and picked up our mail for us. A bit of a shame I didn't know they were going or I would have sent my parcels to town to be posted!! The roads are still closed and the water is going up and down all the time and different parts of the road are inaccessible at different times. We do know of people that are getting to town through lots of water and boggy roads - but honestly - I have 3 small children - I don't feel the need to be risky and drive them through lots of water to post parcels. And I also don't want to risk the $500 fine from the Police for driving on those roads in the first place!!


So I'm still apologising to my SSCS, FIS and ADVENT Swap partners. Your parcels are still at my house. But look at it this way - the longer they are here the more little things I can make and add to the parcels!!!

Gosh! Still wet, wet, wet at your house. I think it's lovely that you will have your kids home for so long. (I guess that's the homeschooler in me coming out) Hope things dry out soon. I'm sure it's not nice to be stuck!

Not nice to be isolated like that, but what a great surprise to have mail dropped in. Keep safe there and enjoy your kids. Always the computer to fall back on when you need some human contact - remember that there is a chat room that opens whenever you have organised to meet someone there - doesn't have to be Friday night!

Gorgeous ornament - lovely! Good luck with the rain and the water receding so that you can get your mail in and out. Stay dry.
