The Valentines Initial Swap
On top of all the gorgeous birthday parcels arriving at my place, yesterday my Valentine's Initial swap present arrived. This was such a fun swap -a huge thank you to Cheryll for organising this fun swap for us.
My wonderful presents came from Debbie and I was really lucky to receive this gorgeous bag and fabric, threads and my very favourite, Maltesers.
I just love this bag and will use it to hold my current stitching project - some secret sewing for a red work swap. Enormous thanks to Debbie for such a delightful gift.
This is what I sent to Lyn. A mug bag with a stitchery designed by our sweet Michelle + a mug, sweeties and heart shaped lip gloss. I know it has safely arrived so I can show this picture.
Just a reminder that next Tuesday February 12th is Tuesday Treasures. It's a chance to share something you treasure and of course there is a giveaway too.
You can always rely on Martha Stewart.com for fabulous ideas and projects. This one caught my eye.
Sweet little duck washcloths. These would make a delightful baby gift. Here's the LINK. Many thanks to all involved.

Your gifts from Debbie are gorgeous. Having seen it in person, it's the perfect size for carrying stitching projects in. The mug bag you made for Lyn is gorgeous as well. The fabrics I can see are so pretty.
