Good grief, two posts in one day! Whatever next? Well, yes I know I already blogged today, but I received not one, but two parcels in the post since then, and just couldn't wait til tomorrow to share them with you - you know how excited I get about nice things in the post!
First was this gorgeous parcel of fabric that I ordered from Z&S. I had secretly told myself that I wouldn't place any more overseas orders until the exchange rates improved, but when I saw that they had the new Prints Charming fabrics in stock, coupled with 15% off, I just couldn't resist!
The pale turquoise fabric on top isn't Prints Charming - it's by Clothworks but don't ask me what it's called! - but is very lovely nonetheless. I think I might make another buttercup bag with it. I now have quite a collection of Prints Charming fabrics, certainly enough to make a quilt with! Perhaps I will, eventually, I'm not sure yet. For now I'm happy just looking at it all!!
Anyway, shortly after that there was a knock at the door and there was the parcelforce man with another package for me!
This enormous box was from Lissy Lou, my heart swap partner. Eventually, after much rummaging, I pulled out this little lot!
Ooh, how exciting! I very quickly ripped everything open and this is what was inside:
Some stickers, a set of heart cookie cutters, some pink jelly beans, chocolate hearts, loveheart sweets, some gift tags, some mini pegs with red hearts on and a very sweet fabric heart decoration. The chocolates and lovehearts made me laugh as I had sent the very same to Lissy Lou! Thank you Lissy Lou, this has been a great swap. This is what I made for her:
a soft fabric basket,
a beaded felt heart decoration,
and a fabric/felty brooch. I also sent some stickers, cupcake cases, clips and the sweets, but stupidly forgot to photograph all that until it was all nicely wrapped up! Never mind, I think she liked it all!
Many thanks also to Catherine of Mollycupcakes for organising the swap.
