I knew Ria had made me something for Christmas - but I didn't know just how amazing my present would be! I love skulls and all things Mexican, so Ria made me this Mexican Day of the Dead style bag. Isn't it amazing? I LOVE this trim!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivSdXcmPjHAU9X95lciKDNn-GeyuL2m_Md23R5F6kWCdu11jmsnxO0xe1WImYdrbXJezU4p9XCV1xM0n79CiIgZ-OQVBr48sL-lZ46tVdOChpIaRQ1nPQ1Tp9bmBtjkApyDHW6Ng/s400/Picture+018.jpg)

She also made me some traditional German Christmas Cake called "Stollen" - I have never heard of it before, but it looks amazing and I really DON'T like the traditional English style Christmas Fruitcake with almond icing. I am saving this for Christmas Day - it looks amazing.

Finally, Ria very generously bought me "Make!" by Cath Kidston - I have wanted this book FOREVER but I could just never bring myself to buy it, I have looked at it at book stores a lot though.
Believe it or not, this book even comes with supplies so you can start crafting straight away! No need to make a mad dash to the fabric or craft store.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikzEszeHpn1CTibRz2Hkf5W4OY8gZ1K3pjcCH7q3EuJi8ySLAxbHgv3pcJ1RfECBagWXtsFrhLGXUSYHM74feWwuZRYWjnikMFoKuwwF5G6HphUiH4bIJWzRZOEvob2RsEDx2JDA/s400/Picture+028.jpg)
