Surprise Gift

 Today in my letterbox I found a parcel which had come all the way from the US:

A while back I left a comment on the blog "Chrisknits". I didn't know it, but Chris was having a give-away to a commenter. She drew my name out of the hat (don't know just how she did the draw really) and told me I had won a zip pouch. I thanked her and told her she didn't really need to send me anything, as international postage can be pretty steep (see photo for proof). But Chris generously insisted, and today, here it is! 

The body of the pouch is a chambray fabric, and features a pineapple block in mustard, navy and white. The zip has a beaded pull:

The lining is mustard:

There is a boxed base, which means the pouch can stand up:

 I love it! Thank you so much, Chris!

Sorry the photos aren't great. I'm having problems getting photos off my camera, so I used my phone and then had trouble getting the photos off it as well. So maybe the problem is with my computer rather than the camera.
