I totally missed this gallery too. But its been lovely looking at the amazing stuff. People have been spoiled!
Meanwhile my package to @jemimah is staring grumpily at me because I still can’t mail it out.

I hope it can be sent soon. Poor swap package!
Same. 
It will happen!!
Wow! The gallery has exploded! Everything is so fantastic!!
I received such a lovely and awesome box of rainbowy goodness from Ewulotta, it absolutely brightened up my day (and still does! Sorry to post only now, those days are just zipping by!)
Eva mentioned she may be out of practice with swapping — I don’t think so at all! Look at all of those goodies!
Happy cards, rainy rainbow stones, the cutest pincushion, and finally my very own pattern weights! I‘m loving every single thing.
BUT do you see the nice mat it is all resting on? That’s an organiser! I can put an embroidery project in there, and have it on my lap or on a table to work from it. Inside:
A huge mesh pocket, perfect for patterns and a frame, nifty flap pockets secured with velcro and I love the two little yellow pincushion thingies. I love pincushions, but I do tend to stick the needles I’m working with anywhere around me, so this is great: can’t lose them there! So maybe the next time I need some time away from home I can grab some floss and fabric and just run away for an hour or two…
And just because they are so pretty here are the pattern weights and pincushion!
I’ve always loved those Westfalen fabrics but never got around to actually buying, now I don’t have to. Plus in this way they also come in really handy as I’m getting ever closer to finally a few pieces of clothing, so both patterns and pins will get lots of use. And hopefully really soon now.
Eva, this was so thoughtful and bright and happy, thank you very much! Way to jump back into swapping, full marks and a gold star!

I like that pincushion and paperweights. What a clever idea.
Oh, those pattern weights would not last long at my house. Too tempting! We’d be using them to juggle or something and then they would wind up behind the couch…
Everything is so colorful and cheery! And that organizer is super clever.

I received from Raury today. She went with a rainbow theme and jellyfish. I love both things. They make me happy.
When I opened the box I found this lovely jellyfish looking up at me. He’s painted on a lovely box.
After I open the jellyfish box I found this lovely cross stitch and rainbow felt.
Thank you for everything it all makes me happy!

just love that organizer…so practical and well thought out…
the jellyfish hoop is just the cutest…
I think we need to make the rest of this month rainbow month…we all need this kind of cheering up!
I received from @AIMR! Oh my goodness! Did she ever spoil me.
Everything came wrapped up in the beautiful bright rice bag
Goodies inside the bag. A super cute face mask, washi tape, two pretty hankies, a spin sun catcher and a wonderful little snake plant for my dollhouse.
A fun tea towel for my kitchen. So cute!
And last, the most beautiful and soft shawl ever! I love the colors and the design.
Thank you so much, @AIMR. Yesterday was a rough one for me but your package lifted my spirits!

Ooh, look at all that pink for you! That shawl! That tea towel has me cracking up.
Wow–that was fast! Glad you like everything!
I know you love pink, and that was one color I don’t have a lot of…the yarn was ordered back in March and due to shipping issues, I got it less than 3 days before the ship date! It was a challenge to crochet quickly, so if you have time, I believe there are three “flowers” in there that are boo-boos! ha ha ha
So glad it arrived. I was hoping to be able to get a hoop for the cross stitch, but none were available. Only being able to work from stash is tough.

Honsetly I love how it’s diferent from normal hoops yet the same at the same time. It’s WONDERFUL!!!
@AIMR that shawl is lovely, but I adore that rice bag. Sooo pretty.
Life’s been a bit on top of me the last couple of weeks, so I have been very behind on chatting, but I have to say how amazing all these packages are! I’ve been going back through the whole gallery this morning and everything is beautiful and filled with so much love and creativity 
If you haven’t already made separte posts for your work, I hope you will so everyone can ooh and aah!
