Judy's Stitch Marker Package from Craftybernie

I'm not sure if Judy's posted this yet but I thought I might as well (would hate to miss out on the voting!!!) Here's a piccie of the things I sent to Judy...


The blue beads on the stitchmarkers are actually plastic beads that I crochet over with some blue(ish) embroidery thread. The little pouch was made using fabric remnants and a ladies hankie to line the inside. Also, the little mini sock was made by me and felted especially for Judy (our felting filly). Apart from the sock, I tried to stick to a blue/purple theme. Thankfully everything has arrived safely.

Enjoy!!!

Judy's package is in the post!

Edited: 14th June 2007. Judy has emailed me to say the package arrived. I'm sooo relieved! Now, I can relax! :) :) :)

I've been in touch with Judy throughout the exchange and have informed her that her package went in the post yesterday. Ok it's a few days late but better late than never. Besides, I think it will be worth it!

Thank you, Monique

Here are a couple of photos of my lovely package from Monique which arrived safely this morning. There is some beautiful cotton/linen yarn in tones of pinks and purples, a few bobbins, some lovely fabrics, the stitch markers in their own lovely handmade (I'm guessing) pouch, and a baaa-eautiful little sheep card!


And here's a close up of the stitch markers. Aren't the pearlescent beads nice mixed with the metal beads?! Not bad for a first timer, eh Monique!


I'm really pleased with the swap and think it was a perfect match.

Thanks again Monique. I really appreciate your generosity. And a quick thank you to Debb for organising the swap. Have a nice summer folks and see you all in September. x Bernie x
