I’m just keeping all my fingers and toes crossed that my package to mistressjennie will arrive without any Corona delays. Everything is so topsy turvy right now…
I received from the generous and thoughtful and talented, @Lynx on Thursday. She has been patient with me posting, so here goes:
First, the bag. I cannot say enough about this bag. It’s scrappy, quilty, big, and exactly what I asked for (a tote with Velcro handles so that I could attach it to the car handle so I could crochet while in the passenger seat while DH drives). She got it perfect! Here it is:
I just have to point out some of the special things she added to this tote besides what I mentioned: a yarn feed, a plastic divider (which is great because I often put my waterbottle in my tote, now it won’t condensate on my craft), the front zipper pocket was made with fabric I sent her in one of the Xmas swaps on the C site, it’s a flat bottom bag, and the inside is ORANGE!!!
Second, the wallhanging. L2L has posted somewhere here on LC how she had several quilted pieces leftover from some project for the school she subs in. She had made a tote with some of them that I liked so much I offered to buy it from her! She said she was keeping the tote . But then look what she sent me:
The fabulous twisted fabric wreath with the mirror! Sooooffft variegated blue yarn! And my own piece of LC jewelry!!! (I was so hoping for one!)
I literally sucked in my breath when I took the items for this swap out of the box and did not take a breath for a moment. L2L is so freaking talented and generous and thoughtful and all good things and I feel very grateful!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, L2L!
P.S. Please don’t mind my just woke up face in the mirror!

@LadybugsAndBees I’m so glad you love it!! (The mirror and jewlelry I sent technically for the LV swap, though!) The bag, wall hanging, and yarn (and velcro) was for this one. It was hard to separate the swaps in the box. Can’t wait to see action shots of the bag in use!

Going bananas over that tote!!!
@Lynx you certainly did a fabulous job of sending some pretty useful and coveted items!
I love the added features you designed to make the happy scrappy bag even more functional! I love the abstract wall hanging. It truly is a fantastic piece. You are a kind, and generous swap buddy.
Oh my goodness, how incredibly thoughtful and generous and beautiful!! The bag is just amazing - gorgeous and so very functional! And the art is so fun!! You’re setting the bar high for this swap!! XD
