Handmade Gift Exchange

I have now participated in my first ever handmade gift exchange! The exchange was organised by Linda at Craftaholics Anonymous. It was very exciting and I was all worried about participating until I read this lovely line at the bottom of the invitation to participate: "There is no skill level required. A handmade gift is always wonderful, no matter how technical it is!". So, I decided to give it a try.

My partner, Tara, was also on her first handmade gift exchange, so a first time for both of us!

I embroidered a 'T' and put it in a necklace frame, and then I made two patchwork pouches and a drawstring bag to put them all in. Hopefully Tara is happy with the result.

I think I may well participate again!

Monsters!

My friend Loz had an awesome princess party for her (2)8th birthday. She needed a prize for the pass the parcel. I made one monster pouch. Then another. Then another. Then I really got carried away.

 

Also, the 33 owls I made to be adopted for the party bags... that was a labour of love that one.

And we got married

It was a while ago now... but we did get married!

It is our 6 month anniversary on Sunday, so we are celebrating by going out for breakfast. Awesome!
