UK Embellisher Swap

Lovely notebook I received from Sheila in the summer mystery swap.

Thank you Sheila!

Christmas Card from Canada

What a lovely surprise - this beautiful Christmas postcard arrived in the post from Mary Lou in Canada as a "Thank You" for organising the monthly swaps on UK Embellisher Swap group.

 Thank YOU Mary Lou - I was delighted to receive this - it really cheered me up after a week of being a bit under the weather.

Another Thank You from UK Embellisher Swap

Chrstimas Eve and what a great surprise.  The post man brought me this beautiful card all the way from Mary Lou in Canada - hand embroidered complete with bear and star sequins.  Aren't I lucky getting these little pieces of art from such creative folks.

Thank You from UK Embellisher Swap

Eileen from UK Embellisher Swap group has sent me this lovely winter landscape Chrstimas card, made on her embellisher, to thank me for organising all the swaps each month.  It glistens and sparkles and it was a nice surprise.

Monika who lives in Bavaria sent me this super card, again as a thank you for organising the monthly swaps.  There is a delicate gold thread running through the top layer of fabric which catches the light beautifully.

Thank you ladies, I am delighted with them and so pleased you enjoy the swaps.

Embellisher Swap Received

My swap partner Carol was super quick with her swap - just a couple of days after partners were assigned I received this lovely key tab.  Thanks Carol!

Tree Decoration Swap

Here is my lovely tree decoration, made by Jenny Jones.  Thank you Jenny, it looks great on my tree.

The colours are not good - think rich Christmas red and green.

 I've got more learning to do with this new scanner.

My Christmas Card from Marja

This lovely postcard arrived from Marja in the Netherlands for the Christmas Card UK Embellisher swap

Embellisher Swap from Jenny B

It's so long since I joined in a swap I'd forgotten how exciting it is to get these little parcels through the post. 
Here's my needlecase swap from Jenny B.  It's gorgeous - I've left the photo a higher quality than usual so the delicate details can be seen.  I love it!  Thank you Jenny B.

Swap Received - Pincushion

Here is the pincushion I received from Amanda in the UK Embellisher Swap August 2008. It survived being left in the front garden by the postman in torrential rain. Good job my son spotted it!!

Thank you Amanda.

Cuff Swap received

This is the lovely cuff I received from Jenny on UK Embellisher Swap group Super colours. Thanks Jenny

UK Embellisher Box Swap Jan 2008

Here is the box I received from Sue - what a lot of work has gone into this. I've renamed it bejewelled casket - "box" is not a grand enough name. Thanks Sue!

A couple of treats were in the box a beaded key ring and some very nice plaid bias tape - I love these parcels!!

Birthday Card - Swap

My friend Chris drew me as a partner in the UK Embellisher Card Swap for Christmas.

She sent me an embellished birthday card which is great - birthday cakes behind net - obviously there isn't a cake for every year - Chris is far too polite - and probably couldn't find a piece of card big enough to fit them all on Ha Ha!
Thank You Chris!

Another Star

Lovely star received from Kandy, just in time to go on the Christmas tree. Deep purple, decorated with sequins and beads. Thank you Kandy.

Star Swap

Received my first star today from UK Embellisher Star Swap. It's lovely, red and sparkly. Thank You Sue!!

UK Embellisher Christmas Card

Beautiful Christmas card received from Chris - Thank You! The Christmas tree is stitched in gold thread.

Magpie's Nest

Thanks to Sue for Magpie's Next - lovely brooch pin for the November swap.

Brooch Swap

A lovely poinsettia brooch from Lorraine in US - Thank you Lorraine! Here is Lorraine's Blog, I enjoy reading this - so many different ideas. I'm looking forward to wearing this brooch at Christmas, it will look great.

Super Swaps Received

Two parcels each containing a beautifully made covered notebook.

4 Seasons Autumn (Bonfire Night) from Ann. The picture doesn't capture the bright sparking fire and the sparkling explosion in the sky - you'll have to take my word for it. It really is lovely.

Covered Notebook swap from Amanda. This is a gorgeous combination of texture and colour - a lovely piece of art.

THANK YOU both - I'm delighted with them.

4 Seasons and Brooch Swap Received

A lovely, bright Summer themed needle case and Brooch pin from Annette. Thank you they're lovely. The needle case will be well used - much better than sticking them into my pin cushion and then struggling to find them again.

Swap Received

All the way from Norway - 4 seasons Spring from Ati. Thank you it's lovely.

Ati has a fantastic blog - particularly if you like crazy patchwork. Visit Ati's blog
