Handmade Heart Swap........

Hello there,did you all have a good weekend ? We actually had a bit of sunshine, here in the Midlands. My garden is a little sun trap so I made the most of it and took my knitting outside, soaking up some much needed Vitamin D and just relaxing, I love those sort of days , doesn't a bit of sun make you feel so much better ?

Last month, Mary Poppins organised a Handmade Heart Swap, I love doing swaps, so I put my name down as soon I saw it. My swap partner was Sarah from Home to Roost, I'm so glad we put together, we corresponded through Twitter, she is so funny and made me chuckle a few times. She is also very talented and dabbles in a few crafts. Here are the gorgeous handmade goodies she made for me.

Isn't this little hand embroidered bag gorgeous, such a talented lady.

A knitted heart keyring, this is going to adorn my knitting bag, it's so sweet.

This is a little hand warmer and the weather we've been having lately, will come in very handy.

A thrifted sewn heart, I love this fabric, look at the cute ladybirds.

Lastly, was a knitted dishcloth, can you see the heart. Sarah, said it's for posh dishes but this is far to lovely for washing dishes so I'm going to use it as a face cloth.

I've had so much fun with this swap, thank you so much to Mary, who organised this great swap and I'll be looking out for any more she does in the future.

You can take a look on Flickr, at all the other swaps that have taken place.

Handmade Heart Swap..............

It's me again, I don't normally post twice in one day but I had to let you know about the Handmade Heart Swap that I've signed up for.
As I was blog hopping last week I came across a fabulous blog called Mary Poppins, I spent an age looking through all the posts and the wonderful photography. Mary posts are so varied with bits about crafts, family, fashion and loads more, well worth a visit.
Anyway when I went back a couple of days later, I saw that she was organizing a Handmade Heart Swap which really appealed to me, who wouldn't love to receive some handmade gifts.
All you have to do is leave a comment here to sign up and find out the full details. Mary will pair you, then start creating ready to send your partner 5 heart related items and they do the same, though it says handmade you can send one or two thrifted items. There is no skill level, it's just about sending the love !!!!!!!
It's open to everyone, U.K. and International so is you're interested you have until the 27th May to sign up.

If you are looking for my  IBSIC post it's here.

Happy Crafting
