Swaps are great YES!

Don't you just love the fact that you know a parcel is on the way too you that has been lovingly handmade just for you-BUT you have no idea what it is till you recieve it..I participated in Mothers Day swap (nope we didn't swap mothers-I would not burden anyone with that)..the swap was within the yahoo CRAFT group it was an open item swap-make something you think your partner would like....
Well I guess I was lucky 'cause my partner was Karen and she just loooves cats-so coolies I make her a puddy-cat....I also sent Karen some fabric amd a set of coasters(aussie made) with bright coloured fish on them-which was ironic as Karen's husband has a room of fish stuffs(which I did not know about) so they will fit in well....
And well I guess I wasn't too difficult for Karen as I looove Chooks(not real ones)..
and she made me the most gorgeous chooky doll......and Karen also sent me some beautiful Debbie Mumm fabric and a cute pin cushion (never can have too may pincushions)

This is Chooky Doll (as I have lovingly called her) standing tall

Well look at that Chooky Doll has her own chooky to nurse

HEy presto will you look at that chooky doll has turned into a sitting chook...golly Karen is soo clever,

cheers Vickie
