I recently took part in a colour swap organised by Liz. My partner was the lovely Sarah in New Zealand - her chosen colour was red and mine was turquoise. I had fun looking for and making red things for her, but look what was waiting for me when I got back. What a clever lady! Hopefully we'll keep in touch too as I feel I've made a lovely new friend. Thanks to Liz too for organizing the swap.
So, here goes.
First in my goody bag was a lovely card, handmade by Lucy one of Sarah's little girls. Looks like Lucy is following in her Mum's crafty footsteps. Thank you Lucy for such a lovely card :-)

Inside was this gorgeous handmade bag, beautifully lined with lovely turquoise fabrics. Wish I could sew and make things like that!
Just look at the little tag attached to the fastening! (It goes very well with my Croap Queen crown too).
All the contents of my lovely bag! Aren't I lucky? Look at that luscious yarn. Am thinking what I can make with it.
Looks like a jewellery roll? It's not and it's very ingenious....
A lovely crochet hook roll. What a great idea and will save me a lot of hunting for the right size hook.
And finally, a fab little padded cushion. Beautifully made as are all the other things. No idea how Sarah put the stuffing in it though - can't find any seams that don't look machine sewn! One day I shall release my machine from the depths of the wardrobe and have a go. I want to be like Sarah and my friend Joy when I learn to sew properly.
So, after all that, thank you Sarah for putting so much time and effort into the swap and sending me such lovely goodies. xx
