I was paired with Kate who blogs/blogged here and after a few emails I bit the bullet and got making! The swap was nautical themed and I struggled a little but this is what I came up with...
 |
| A rosette corsage |
 |
| Swarovski and Sterling Silver Earrings |
 |
| A Bow Hairband |
 |
| Some Nautical Charm stitch markers |
I put all these things in a red with white polka dot makeup bag which I forgot to take a photo of then popped it in the post to start it's trip to the other side of the world!
A few days later the postman brought me a rather exciting parcel with an Australian postmark....
In it was a gorgeous pair of fingerless mitts (which have inspired me to start knitting my jumper, more on that another day),
some fab sticky labels to mark pages (it will make a change from using ripped post it notes) and a double ended crochet hook which I am excited to learn how to use!
Thanks Kate for a fab swap :)
Now, off to knit my jumper....
Wow! Aren't those gloves fantastic? And you made loads? I found the craft swap really exciting too, so we can be sad together!
ReplyDeleteHi again - just wanted to let you know that I have nominated you for a Liebster award. In case you have already read my post, I stupidly managed to leave you off my original post, so it is now updated to include you (and Nessa). Huge apologies for the omission!
DeleteI probably made a bit too much, I realy had no idea what to send!!
DeleteThanks for the award, off to your blog now :)
