I have been disgustingly busy with work :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
All I have time for is an occasional quick peekyroo in betwixt the furious action. This gallery is amazing and I am agog at all the beautiful colourful incredibleness, wow.
I also received my wonderful, delicious package of orangey goodness from Edel! And it came in record time which I really love as an affirmation that praying to the postal gods and goddesses works. Hopefully hers is arriving as speedily :crossed_fingers:
I took a ton of pictures but seriously not enough to show off all the awesomesaucery. I am so truly spoiled, rotten to the core. I love everything, & look at it all!


Beautiful hand carved print from Edel’s dear friend. So gorgeous, love the ombre colours.

Stickers! Trim, zippers, feathery fringe, thread, ribbon, tea, a puzzle. Super cool!

This enamel pin is a colour wheel that SPINS!

I love note cards & these are brilliant.

The rando poetry is hysterical & also somehow profound

She made me a wee journal for my purse, I love this so much.

Sorry this picture is upside down, lol, oops. Fabric, mushroom fabric, orange monk’s robe fabric. Not even kidding. This is the coolest.

This. Pouch. All the things I like the most. Patchy, stitchy, scrappy, orange. And lined with mushroom fabric! It will be travelling with me this summer :kissing_heart:

I. Have. No. Words.

I’m just catching up with the gallery now, so much awesomeness. From the embroidery, to the bluebirds and that good witch miniature. Wonderful swap packages everyone.

@magpie, as usual I crammed everything in up to the weight limit of the package. But I’m very relieved that the glass in the picture didn’t break. It would have been ok without the glass, but I thought I’d take the risk and it seems to have paid off, I’m glad your entreaties to the postalgods worked. Hugs

Blues and greens together make such a lovely combo! The pouch is lovely! I also like the two pieces of tiny green art…the one with the gold swirl is fantastic!

I should have said - I made them thinking they could be zipper pulls but they would work as stitch markers too!

I got a great box of yellow from @Kwality570
A bright spot in this dreary week! :grin:

Everything was wrapped in pages from an old typewrite book

This bright scrappy pouch! I love it!

This magnet badge - right onto the fridge

A monster paperweight. I named him Brodie

a dish scrubbie (your poor fingers!)

and a small notebook decorated with gelli prints

Extras!

Everything together

The typrwriter book pages

So I got a fabulous package from @Magpie of course she completely ignored the size requirements, starting with this beautiful shawl that she had sent to me via the lettuce garage sale a few weeks ago.

First this lovely collection of ephemera via @knickertwist I love the wings and fun stickers. And this cool little 3-d people.

Then these brilliant things. A mug carpet, for my very posh mugs. An adorable robot charm, which is now on my keyring. And this totally amazing set of pencils, smallest colouring pencils I’ve ever seen, with sharpener and eraser-the whole set is about the size of a credit card. And a trading card from the first round of this that was done on the old place, we didn’t swap cards then so this is new to me, and super cute.

Everything was wrapped in these lovely vintage pieces of fabric

I was totally spoiled with a huge amount of wonderful fabric, skully goodness


And if that weren’t enough, more fabric, spiders and mushrooms, fabulous!!

And the piece de resistance, this amazing fabric bucket, the colours and the stitching are wonderful, but the base piece to go inside, captured my heart.

And look at this great collaged card she made. It’s brilliant.

Thank you so much sweetie, everything is amazing xxx

Definitely need to teach her that the word is “mini” not “maxi”…wow…

beautiful collection of fabrics (are those skellies, er, having a go? :flushed:)

The batik base with that sentiment really tugged at my heart strings…such a beautiful bucket, inside and outside!
