Paper bag Swap Sent & Received

Earlier last month I signed up for Rachel's paper bag swap which is where you make up a little parcel of fabric and nic naks, post them off to your swap partner and then they make you something with what you have sent. My swap partner is Denise (**wooo hooo Denise**).

It took me aaagggggessssssss to decide what fabric I was going to send and after I had covered my living room floor with fabric I finally picked these.....

I also included some co-ordinating threads a piece of grey felt and some buttons. I cant wait to see what Denise is going to create with these!!

Today I received Denise's parcel. Just look at the gorgeous purples!! Cute cherry fabric, pom pom braiding, some embroidery threads and some totally scrummy buttons.

Just look at them!!! I love the purple sparkly one and the mother of pearl one, top middle.

I have no idea what I am going to make with this lovely stash of goodies.....so I'm going to have to get my thinking cap on. Big time!!
