Craft swap

So ... I participated in yet another swap :) This time it was a CRAFT SWAP -> https://www.pinterest.com/merialc/craft-swap/. The idea was to send at least two handmade items and a selection of other goodies. It was quite challenging as there was no price limit and we only had the info about what our partner didn't like and not the likes, which would have made it so much easier. Still... I had so much fun putting my package together :) and was really curious what would come in the post. I sent my parcel to Ellen and received loads of goodies from Michelle :)

Here's what came in the post: 

Butterflies... I love butterflies :) It was such joy to open the box and see this magnificent picture. But I couldn't wait long so I opened all the little gifts and this is what was there:

Magnificent pouches :) So well-made and so beautiful in such vivid colours! Amazing! 

Green yarn! Yes, green...my favourite colour :) I've already decided what I'm going to make... an autumn/ winter hat.

Chocolate goodies- just the right present for a person with a sweet tooth

Tea- ideal for a tea addict ;)

Strawberry 'goodies' for the body and strawberry and kiwi scented candle...mmmm

Ribbon... will definitely use it in my projects.

Beads... thinking of making a necklace or bracelets

Oh! and a London souvenir! Perfect for the study where I teach

Thank you for all these marvellous goodies, Michelle! I have been so spoilt!


This is what I sent to Ellen:

 

I knitted a hat, crocheted hearts and made them into a chain and also made a decoupage box. I bought a Barcelona calendar, buttons with Audrey Hepburn, a nice box of plasters, a box with a towel that was folded in such a way that it looked like a cake ;) and I added some Spanish goodies.
