Day 1 @JoyfulClover said I could open them in any order, and my husband chose for me, He couldn’t resist the awesome fabric wrappings either.
And OMG She totally went completely overboard in an amazingly wonderful and generous way-you know when a swap package makes you want to immediately start making things for the next two weeks and send your partner ALL THE THINGS. that was how I felt when I opened this.
First, look at this brilliant fabric, and she sent a whole yard of it. I love it.
And look, look!! what was inside, this most amazing huge snuggly knitted shawl. Yes a shawl, in the most divine soft mellow colours. She must have forgotten that this was supposed to be 13 small items! But I simply adore this, I am wearing it right now and it is light, soft, warm and just lovely. There was an extra item inside this first day, but I am saving this for tomorrow- The shawl is glory enough
Brian trying to show how large it is (she’s so cute, she remembered that I said in a chat that I love a huge snuggly shawl)
He’s cute, but he’s no blue steel.
Neither am I, but this is just glorious
Day2
The sweetest most adorable witch, she is gorgeous, but she’s not divulged her name yet. Time will tell The colours and the details are fabulous and her hair reminds me of mine 
Day 3
This couldn’t be better timed. Grandmother Owl often shows up when things need to be let go of in life. And I am selling my home, so she is so appropriate.
I love this beautiful stitched tree with the owl. It is luminously lovely. Simple and perfect. Love it!
I have it on my household altar,
Day 4. I woke up this morning with a covid-sad or maybe it was just hormones, but then I remembered I had a package to open, it’s cheered me up big time. I couldn’t resist the fabric in this one and it was wrapped in not just one, but two half yards of the most amazing halloween fabric. Look!
But to the best bit, it is a cold day here today, so a woolly hat is just perfect, it is really soft and warm and I love the colours. It’s been firmly lodged on my head since I opened the package.
Action shot, very smexy pre-brekkie look
Day 5 @JoyfulClover is multi talented.
Look at this set of adorable monsters, they have a real 1950s vibe. Paper pieced?? Tell me more. The spoon is for size reference
Day6 nooo this can’t be nearly half over.
I love love love these. Two hand carved stamps that are totally, completely me. Corvids and caravans.
Day 7 this is very timely and useful. I’m making two cloaks (medieval reenactment) they’re not for me, they are raw silk and have the longest hems in.the.world. and the hem has to be hand sewn. The raw silk is a PITA to sew. But this lovely pincushion/pocket/sewing organiser is right beside me as I work. It’s saving my usual hunt for thread, scissors etc etc while I’m hand sewing. I love it.

It’s anyone else finding the unopened packages incredibly tantalising?!
Day 8 (already!)
@JoyfulClover is so clever and creative, I want to be her neighbor and pop in for many craft sessions. I love today’s gifty. It’s for my new house, although I have it hanging on my current front door. It’s a witches bell, to keep the bad things away

Isn’t she clever. I love it.
Day 9
How cute is this?!! I love the wee house and the copper flowers, sitting on a bed of fairy snow. It’s just gorgeous, so serene.
l
Day 10 this most amazing beaded spider. I love her so much. So pretty and I love spiders
Day 11 I’m running out of superlatives. This hoop-amazing, just amazing. It’s witchy and perfect and I love the stitching.
And I’m bereft. Only two more days 
Day 12 The sweetest earrings. I am wearing the blue ones right now. That blue plus silver is the perfect combo for me. And I love the simplicity of the crystal drop ones, they are really lovely
.
Day 13 another adorable gift. @JoyfulClover totally spoiled me. I’ve loved every single thing. This swap has been just amazing.
This super cute wooden witches hat. I love the green background. It’s already on my wall.
Thank you so much @JoyfulClover I can’t believe it’s over now. But opening these preciouses has been a daily highlight. And thank you for organising. Xxx
). Thank you so much! You are so kind and generous and extremely talented. I will display these items with pride.
