Strumpets Crumpets Crafty Peeps Swap - Here's what I got :)

Matching wallet and hanky case.

So after another interesting interaction with the Bosnian and Herzegovinan postal service I got my parcel from Poland. It was well worth waiting for. The gifts inside are so cute and beautifully made.

I love the zip lock part inside the wallet!

And how cool is this - it has my name on it.

And as well as being cool it is very useful.

If you're looking at the things I got and thinking, 'I so need one of those,' then check out Agnes's Etsy shop . If you would like to find out more about her and what she does you can read her blog.

Crafty Peeps Swap

This is the second time I've been part of a swap hosted by StrumpetsCrumpets.

This time my partner was a candy loving, red headed girl from Poland. This is the gift I sent her. She makes the most amazing and beautiful notebooks which she sells in her Etsy Shop - Marysza.

She also has a great blog which you can read by clicking here.

Were you right?

you might remember I posted a blog a couple of weeks ago called Can you guess what it is yet?. Well now is your chance to see if you got it right! This is the gift I sent to my StrumpetsCrumpets Valentine swap partner Annie from www.wattlebird.com. When I am making dolls for specific people rather than just for my shop I like to make the doll a caricature of that person. This is easier to do when you really know someone but you can actually find out enough about someone just from reading their blog to make a pretty good go of it. Annie said that she was wearing almost the same oufit as this little doll the day she arrived! You can read more about what she thinks of this doll by clicking here and reading her blog.

Strumpets Crumpets Valentines Swap

Thank you Annie from Wattlebird Designs for my cute alice band :) and thanks to Becky from Strumpets Crumpets for organising the swap.

can you guess what it is yet?

In my last blog post I said I was about to start working on something for my swap partner for the Strumpetscrumpets Valentines Swap - well I've just finished it! I want it to be a surprise for my partner when she gets it, so rather than show you the final thing I thought I'd show you a work in progress photo I took this afternoon.
