Oh my goodness! I received the most FABULOUS swap package from @fluffypants … post swap anxiety anyone? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Canada post suggested 3 months sending time, and it snuck in just under that.

Here’s the box… and so beautifully wrapped, how pretty!

First up a lovely prayer flag, the textures are so nice to touch! And a gorgeous flower brooch :blue_heart:

Next up, this made me smile so much! My very own monster book of monsters! :grinning::grinning:
And a sweet bookmark! :heart_eyes::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::heart_eyes:

This gorgeous clutch! And check out this beautiful brooch :heart_eyes: did you make this Fluffypants?! Wow!!

And check out this AmAzInG quilted pouch :grinning::heart_eyes::grinning::heart_eyes: it’s soooo good!!

And here is everything all together :smile::smile: including some Canadian granola bars that Fluffypants designed the label of as a graphic designer! Totally crushing on the crafty skills of this lady!

One of my favourite colour combos is navy blue and emerald, and you can see that Fluffypants tailored this package to suit me so much, even down to the beautifully dyed fabric it all came wrapped in… did you dye it yourself? (I just keep getting blown away!) Thank you so much Fluffypants! You’re an amazing swap partner and you totally spoiled me! xxx

PHEW! It was quite the trek (and what a wait!) but I am glad everything looks to have arrived in one piece!

I did dye the fabric – I think that was one of the first things I did! I figured “oh, I’ll dye all of this and then think of things to do with it.” Then I made one tiny prayer flag and had OODLES left over, hahahaha. It makes good wrapping at least!

The white flower brooch is made out of polymer clay, in a setting I bought on eBay many moons ago. I definitely want to make more brooches now! I have quite a stash of settings to use up.

The quilted pouch gave me grief, but I’ve gotta say, after not seeing it for two months I like it better than when it was a frustration on my sewing machine. :wink: Hehehe. The little plastic scissors had been in my stash for years and they just looked so happy on there!

I am SO glad this parcel finally showed up and didn’t get eaten up by the postal monsters. Thank you again for a fabulous swap! <3

This is so fun–what a great creative explosion of treats to receive. Nicely done, @Abbeeroad! And well photographed, @Kwality570–your enthusiasm is contagious.

Oh wow, I didn’t realize there was still a package outstanding. And it is outstanding! What gorgeous items! I really love that brooch.

Loved seeing all of the items in this swap…but I have come to a conclusion: y’all have way too much stuff to use up so this swap needs to happen about a zillion times more… :rofl: :joy:
