Spring Swap

I recently took part in the Spring Swap,

organised by Jackie of Sew Special Bears

I was paired with Gem from Dreams Of A Life In The Country

This is what was in the envelope when I opened it,

wrapped in dotty paper.

These are the goodies, that were inside.

I love this cute owl cross stitch kit.

Owl earrings, egg ornament and chocolate egg.

Some cream for your feet, just in time before I wear my sandals!

A knitted finger puppet.

And finally some chocolate bunnies.

A big 'thank you' to Gem for my gifts and Jackie for organising the swap.

Sew Scrumptious Interflora Gift

I was the lucky winner in the Interflora giveaway,

Wishing you all a Happy Mothers Day!

Monthly Makes

Here are my monthly makes, which aren't jewellery.

These are my first attempts at making glass beads.

I was quite pleased with my efforts and had a

great time making them.

My monkey's eyes might be wonky

but still cute!

Next, is a little blue bird made of fabric and felt.

Here is my first attempt at Stanley Kidston.
Otherwise, known as a goat or camel by my boys!!
I didn't think it was that bad.

Then I fancied doing some crochet and made
this simple pot cover in treble stitch.

Perfect for some daffodils,

which are now on my kitchen windowsill.

Whilst I haven't had alot of time

for different things, I have enjoyed what I have made.
