Sadly, I haven't recieved anything yet, but I'm assured that it was sent out yesterday bu my partner. Hope it arrives soon!
I forgot to send a bag pattern (one of the requirements for the swap) so I purchased and emailed Chrissie P. one for the 'B4 Bag'. No comments from her...hope she likes the package and appreciated the work that went into it...maybe I'll hear from her again when she feeling more up.... Kind of discouraging and sort of puts me off future exchanges...
I can safely post pics of the bag that I had sent to my assigned partner. A bit disheartening that she seems less than enthisiastic about it, because I sure put alot of thought into both the bag and the goodies that were sent.
The pattern is "The Sheep Tote" from Fibretrends. I've been wanting to make it for sometime, so this gave me a good opportunity to try it out. It's made from Cascade 220, Turquoise and Magenta. I also added a touches of fair isle on the side pockets.
I personally love this bag and plan to make one for myself. I needlefelted the swirl design onto the front using a handspun roving from the woman that makes and sells Padraigs Cottage slippers.
I stuffed it full! Hersheys Chocolate flavored lip balm, chocolate, two balls os SWS wool and a pattern for the Multidirectional scarf, little snippet scissor, gum....
See the cool pocket? I picked that up some time ago and have been looking for a good use for it! I attached it with a snap so that it can be removed as needed.
