Christmas Handmade Ornament Swap Report

Remember how I mentioned that I was taking part in the Christmas Handmade Ornament Swap?  Well I completed it and sent it off to my secret partner.  Now I can reveal what I did!

I decided to make a simple Christmas pudding. Originally it was all going to be in felt, then I decided I would  instead use felt, crochet the leaves and cherry and the icing would be Japanese paper.  My only worry was bonding the delicate Japanese paper to the felt.  I feel it turned out right in the end, and I was very happy with it.

Gift from the Applecart & Co

Squeal, I received my Calico & Co stationery swap from an unknown swap buddy today. Really exciting to receive a parcel with lovely goodies inside after a days worth of work.

The lovely sweet Jodie from Applecart & Co sent me these lovely cards, notebook and bookmark featuring original images from old world children's books. Ahhh brings me back to my childhood. Also amongst the goodies was some cute Japanese Washi Tape. Jodie has realised my weakness. :-)

Thank you Jodie!
