it felt a lot like christmas here today as I received not one, not two, but three swap parcels - squeal !!
I received my purse from the in the frame purse swap from Deb who has a gorgeous blog at Simply Miss Luella. I actually follow Deb's blog and I had no idea that she was my swap partner !
isn't it just gorgeous ...
and it is lined with pink polka dot fabric too !
Deb also sent me some great extras - a beautiful flower brooch - it is soooo cute
and also a key fob and some green polka dot scissors along with some gorgeous fabrics - I looooove the pink teacups on a lime green background - thank you so much Deb :)
next up is a needlebook from the ratz swap - this was made by Ellie and I was crossing my fingers when I first saw this simply adorable needlebook. I also follow Ellie at Craft Sew Create - another fabulous blog :)
it has all of my favourite fabrics - pink, lime green, and orange with tiny hexies on the front surrounded by pink polka dots - Ellie has called it rainbow sherbet - yummy !
the back is made from hexies as well - just a fraction bigger.
Ellie also sent me a pair of pink polka dot scissors so now I have a pair - yippee. I also received a beautiful card, some needles and my favourite sewing tool - a quick unpick !! well maybe not my favourite but one of my most used anyway :) and on the inside of the needlebook were some very cute pins - thank you too Ellie :)
I also received a beautiful pillow made by Kris for the care @ do.good stitches members swap - Kris made the pillow using gorgeous vintage modern fabric that I love !
the pillow is so well made and it has four buttons on the back - Kris also sent the pillow insert so how cool is that !
I love it and it's already sitting on my couch. thank you so much Kris - it is such a gorgeous pillow :)
I'm very happy to have received such beautiful gifts made by such generous girls - this is what makes all that stress about swaps worth every second :)
