Pincushion Swap...

I have signed up to do this swap, kindly being hosted by Claire at Claire's Crafty Blog. My partner is Julie at the 'Grey Frog'. I am still waiting for the blog address for her, so will amend this post when I have it.

In the swap, we have to make a pincushion and send it to our partners, along with some haberdashery items (buttons etc.) as a treat. I have already made a pincushion but am doing another one to see which I prefer...I will only post photos when I know that Julie has received it.

I had decided not to enter into another swap, as I have a lot on at the moment. However, how could I resist pincushions? I love them!

Garden Swap

I finally sent my goodies to my swap partner. I am sorry it took so long Paula, and I hope you like them. I didn't send anything edible as I know it is frowned upon in the US - I also almost sent you seeds!

I sent Paula some beautiful wool for her knitting, a rubber stamp with 'English Country Garden' on it, a plant sprayer and the beaded flower that I blogged about a couple of weeks ago. I am afraid that I took the soaps out before sending as they weighed a ton and had to be posted to the US (blush - sorry again Paula!) The flower just needs a chain or ribbon to be hung from and it can also be turned into a hair accessory or brooch.
