no.253 140108 Thank you for the three presents

These pretty quilted pouches were hand-made by my eemo

I've been waiting for a parcel that my eemo (aunt) sent before Christmas. Well, I've been waiting for two packages - one from Korea that my aunt sent , and the other one from the States that other eemo sent (she is my mom's friend, so I call her a eemo as well). I've also been expecting a card from a friend of mine in the States but that didn't arrive either. It was strange because they told me that they sent it before Christmas and it's been almost two weeks since Christmas and I haven't yet received anything. Speaking about cards and parcels, I wonder if pastor Roland's got my Christmas card I sent him... I hope he did! Anyways, all three came at the same time!

They were expected yet unexpected because I knew what was in the two packages that were coming from my eemos, since I had requested them. With the package that came from my eemo in the States, I knew what I was getting, I just didn't know the design and moreover, I didn't think she was gonna send me this many! I only wanted a couple to carry it as a makeup bag. Plus, I already had a few that she made for me from years ago, so I really didn't need all that. She had also sent a few aprons for my mom to use. Anyways, this eemo is amazingly good and I'd say pretty much everything that's got to do with hands. She's an awesome cook, an awesome baker and an awesome quilt-maker (is that a word?). She's my mom's best friend, and she's been making so much stuff for my mom and for me. My mom told me how this eemo made me a quilted blanket, a pillow and toys to play with when I was a baby. I have quilted baskets, bags, makeup pouches, stuffed animals and Christmas ornaments at home, all made by my eemo. Everything quilted in my house is made by her. I still have the bunny doll she made me when I was only a baby. I will share that picture with you tomorrow!

Lastly, I was waiting for a present from my friend from Florida because he had told me that he sent something for me for Christmas. I was curious on what he sent because I thought he just sent me a card.  So, thanks friend for the surprise! And thank you to both of my eemos for the gifts!
