chuckmum6 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Many thanks to whoever made my lovely jolly notebook cover (came with a notebook) it will sit by my phone in our hall, so will be seen by lots of people and will be very useful!

bluekarin Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Thank you to my Autumn crafty swapper for my fab pressie It's a jute wrapped wreath with paper folded rosettes and flowers and a lovely box with Christmas cards and gift tags in. All absolutely lovely and am so thrilled to have been made them. Was the tape you've used on the cards Washi tape as I have heard of it and seen it used online but not in the flesh? Fab stuff and must get hold of some myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple hen Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Huge thanks to my swapper, I am thrilled with my gift. It is a notebook with an amazing quilted batik cover in purple shades, accompanied by a lovely card with part of an autumn poem inside. I don't think a photo can possibly do it justice. Goosey Lucy i think i am going to need your help with a photo please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 What fabulous gifts! I am so pleased with my gift, my very talented swapper has made me a beautiful scarf in lovely Autumnal colours and added an organza brooch. They are both very beautiful and i will be proud to wear them especially as they weather has just turned nippy this week. Thank you very much. I'll post a photo later. purple hen, I'll pm you about your photo x Lucy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey Lucy Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 What lovely things we've all received! bluekarin: Your sender has seen your question and you are indeed correct, the tape is washi tape. I'm just about to wrestle with Photobucket and will be putting up photos of the gifts purple hen and I received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Here is a photo of my gifts, the photo really doesn't do the scarf justice. It is the most wonderful mix of oranges and browns and has different stitching at the edges. I am in awe, I can only do stocking stitch. The brooch is made from organza and it must have been very scary to get it to shape as a night light flame was needed to singe the edges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
