@Chr1stchan the bug painting is faboo, and that tote! Wicked good colour bomb. Sometimes the hardest thing is choosing a fave.
I received from @Edel and she sent me such a lovely package full of all the goodies! My colour theme was “colourful” lol. She got it completely.
First up is this super cute rainbow VW bus bag that I adore. I’ll definately have to share this one with my big fluffy hippie man so it’s going to our caravan so we can use it all summer.
It folds up into the clever pocket which is printed on the inside with an anatomical heart that I just know she carved herself. Love it.
Next some pretty inspiration points, I have plans for both the gold lace and the blue beaded fringe though my @Pigeon tried to convince me to give her the latter.
The fabric beads I will have to work very hard at not hoarding.
And then a hand bound journal covered in fabric printed from art work in her own journal. I’m pretty sure I said this rainbow bubbly stuff was my fave of the bunch when they were posted.
Just look at how marvelous it is!
And it’s got random pages with nifty bits pasted in to spark creativity.
Aww, I
you too, dear friend 
The houses are so great!
And a double pocket full of these awesome bits!
And this precious page, wow. I am absolutely honoured to have it. I am going to have to think what to do with this…
The letters are random tiles that just happen to spell out my name, how fun!
It is all so wonderful but this is scrappy treasure is my favourite piece of all. Edel called it a mug rug but there is just no way. I will add a hanger to it and put it up in my studio, I love it.

All of it in its orangie goodness!
3 beautiful wash clothes in a variegated yarn and a pure orange wash cloth. Then a hand knit button top tea towel.

Beautiful yarns including some of the orange she used, so not only do I get to add to my stash I get to see examples of how wonderfully it knits up!

I am glad you liked it dear friend. And yes you did say that fabric was your favourite. I hope you use that journal for everything, from great thoughts to shopping lists!
The blue star was made by my daughter, it’s designed to be put in a window, you get a load of secondary patterns from the folds, when the light passes through.

when you do something with that plant hanger yarn, its helpful to tie a wee knot in the end of it…that crap likes to unravel otherwise.

I received from @geekgirl yesterday. a lovely purple/blue package. I think I put down jewel tones as ny color choice and a marrakesh natket kind of them. These hit that mark perfectly!
She made this precious hummingbird. I asked for embroidery not in a hoop as I am out of wall space and have decided to make a fiber art book with as much of my swap goodies as I can. This will be a perfect inclusion to that project.
This little mixed-media piece is so fun. I love the slightly grumpy face. This will go up on my wall right away, as I have little space, so little art is perfect. 
The purchased inclusions (yiu can see them in the fiest photo) include a lovely blue glass tea light holder and a gold star/moon decor piece that will probably both find their way into my livung room. The notepad and colored oens will be put to good use too in my studio as I often forget what tasks I need to do, peehaps the novel idea of writing them down will help. 
Thank you so much. This package was so ME. I love it.
