Finally crafty photos.

I recently joined a couple of swaps and now that the items have been received I can finally show pics..

First swap was a Brown Paper Bag Swap hosted by Clare’s Craftroom on FB.

(A Paperbag swap is where you send 1 fat¼ of fabric and some buttons,ribbon,etc.)

This is what I made for my partner Maria who can be found @ veryspecialcreations.

And since I had a small bit of fabric left I also made this.

P1050084

Just loved the wee bows.

P1050085

I sent my Maria a fat ¼ with chooks on it and was totally gobsmacked when my package  arrived.

P1050089

A lovely oven mitt and a superb pincushion.I love my items very much thanks again Maria.

P1050090

Each segment of chook fabric has a chook on it and this pincushion  is a whopping 10” round,and it has wee pockets on the edges. I have been saying for ages I need to make a bigger pincushion and was just stoked when I opened this package.

The next swap was the Once a Season Swap hosted by Cheryll over at Gone Stitchin, and theme was Spring.

P1050088

This is what I made for my Peta, I also sent her a Tilda book and I popped in some buttons and some wee pegs with lady beetles on the pockets.The fabric is yellow daffodils.

Peta mads the most gorgeous item and truly never thought I would ever call one of these gorgeous in my life..

P1050109

See that snail it is so dang cute. Also there was some lovely pouches with flower seeds in them and a beautiful fat ¼ withy bright flowers..loved them all thanks again Peta.

 

I love these hanging bags I have many and not one is used for pegs.

Cheers Vickie
