have not received

I've not gotten my ornament yet. :((

My exchange to Monique



I've heard that my ornie has been received, so I thought I'd show some pictures.


Monique, my recipient, doesn't have a blog, so it wasn't easy deciding on something to make, so I decided to try something new, and made a felt ornament from a book I bought when a nearby LNS closed. I made it a little jazzier than the original design called for, and did more stitching rather than use Bondaweb, and I really enjoyed the whole thing!


I can feel a whole host of little felt ornies might be in my future...

Susan also sent me this wonderful biscornu kit, with fabric and threads and beads and everything, thank you!! I'm sorry but I don't know if you have a blog Susan. If you read this, please visit my blog and leave a comment so that I can visit your blog and e-mail you :)

This exchange is going rather well!

Girls, I'm happy how everything is going with this exchange! Only 3 ornaments that still have to be sent (and I have contact with those senders) and 10 left to be received.
It's a lot better than the first exchange! I think it does help a lot that it's not Holiday season ;)
I'm already thinking about a new ornie-exchange... "It's never early enough for Christmas" ;) But I'll come back to that later!

Hugs, Simone

Hello, I would like to Ina for the wonderful package that I received in the mail, a box full of goodies, Thank you so much Ina!!!! I will try to post picture later, Susan Locke

Pretty Exchange from Amy


I just wanted to take a moment to give a huge THANK YOU to Amy... and to show off the pretty exchange that I received from her today... Amy stitched me this sweet ornament with a star button that is to die for. Aw.... And wow, she hit my wish list and sent me a chart I really wanted... plus the WDW linen and NPI silk for it. Thank you Amy! You went way above and beyond. I shall cherish this forever...

My ornament arrived!




Here is my lovely exchange from Valerie - it was great to get such a sweet ornament by one of my favourite designers!

I enjoyed all the other bits and pieces too - the very funny card, cute chart, festive fabbie and threads, needles in my preferred size (28s! yay!) and not forgetting the chocolate - which I have been very restrained with and not eaten yet!

Valerie says that this is her first ornament finish - I'm not sure I believe her, it is so neat! LOL - it has been finished in a similar way to a pin keep, which is great for me as I will be able to display it on my shelves come Christmas time. Thank you so much, Valerie!


I'm getting a bit anxious though about the ornament I mailed out - it should be there by now...

It's in the mail

I mailed out a package to my partner today. I enclosed some extra goodies that i have been collecting for her. Hope she likes it.


Exchange received from Ruth B




My exchange arrived from Ruth in LA today.  Ruth stitched a very pretty holly ornament which she fringed and backed with felt. Isn' t that pretty?  She also enclosed two lots of finishing fabric, three skeins of threads and some cute buttons. Thank you Ruth - a lovely exchange.

And thank you Simone for arranging this exchange.

Oops I Did It Again...

I forgot to post that I sent my ornament out on July 1st. I hope that my partner likes it and the other goodies that I enclosed along with it.

from Chantal to Anita.


This is what my mom Anita received from Chantal.

she liked it a lot.

Hugs

Pascale

received my xmass exchange


He

yesterday I received my xmass exchange from Carol.

thank you very much Carol.

I've fallen behind on this exchange. I have no excuse except laziness. LOL I kept putting it off and putting it off, realized Tuesday that I had only a few days left to get my partners ornament stitched. All I have left is the back stitching and the finishing. I'm so sorry for the delay. The ornament should be in the mail tomorrow.


Ornament from Simone

Here's the lovely ornament I received from Simone. Id like to know the designer - will you tell us that Simone? Anyway it's finished like a pinkeep in a wonderful triangular shape with ribbon around the edge that says "Happy Holly Days!"

Here's the entire package.

Thanks so much for your gifts Simone. The ornament will make a great addition to my tree this year! And thanks too for organizing this exchange. Much easier (less pressure) to stitch ornaments in July!
