I've got mail!

Lu from Hippyxic over at Flickr and I had agreed on a swap.  Her package went out a little later than promised on Monday (sorry!) and I received hers today.

It was so beautifully packed, that after I had opened it, I had to put the bag back together to show you!

This pretty bag and a little bag with buttons.  As soon as I had looked at it all, I went straight to e-Bay and have bought some cellophane bags like this.  They are so cute and I am sure will come in handy for future swaps.

Look at these fabric pegs - I have admired these on her Flickr account and they are just gorgeous.  Plus they came with a fabric covered tag.

And the piece de resistance - one of her beautiful pincushions.  I did ask whether she could send me one of these.  And I am not disappointed!  It even has some pins in it. 

Thank you so much Lu.  I hope it isn't too long before yours arrives.  I am bowled over by your generosity!

The pattern swap has been sent out to L..K. from Gryphon's Feather.  It went out in the post this morning.  Quickest swap ever!

I am going to give you all a little sneak peek of my current project.

It is one of those projects that I started last year and have just not got round to finishing off.  Now I have told you all about it, I have no excuse but to finish this off once and for all!
