Look what I got....Swap 2 and 3

After a great Easter weekend I've finally managed to get my swap piccies on my blog. So here goes, get ready for picture overload.....
This was my "Make" swap with Jaime, look at all my lovely parcels wrapped with tissue and tied with ribbon, which has all been kept for later use! Inside my packages were a lovely beaded purse, a little teapot book mark(i think?), a needle case and brooch, cute silver heart box and choccy bunnies, gorgeous handmade ear-rings and 2 divine smelling oatmeal, milk and honey soaps-how lucky am I?!?

I was so pleased with this needle book as I haven't got one and the brooch is so sweet, can't wait to use them.

Close up of the handmade ear-rings, really lovely and I'm wearing the black and silver ones as we speak.

My second parcel from Emilie contained these wonderful Easter tins, how cute, and very intriguing.

Inside this beautiful little box was the cutest magic glass egg which changes colour with light and water, thank you Emilie my boys were amazed with this!!

The other tin contained this wonderful Americana garland and bucket, just love them both!!

This is my gorgeous glass egg which changes colour in front of my bunnies, Emilie also included some really cute little bunnies which I have forgotten to add but they're on my display with my Easter goodies( will pop piccie on in a bit)

These last piccies are from my Easter display, my fat hens look right at home with the bunnies and chickens!

By the way my eldest has named all the Hens, this one is Bryan!

This one is chicken pox!!

Happy Bank Holiday xx

Look what I got....

I have managed to sneak in another work day this week, which was good as managed to get another design layed down-did take a couple of attempts and did nearly throw it all in have a tantrum that my 2yr old would have been proud of, but with patience I finally got there!!





I also finished up my last swap which will be winging it's way to it's partner soon. I've been busy tying up all the loose ends with my swaps this week and have found it great to make my own things but a bit aprehensive as to what my swap partner will think?!?


Last thing this arvo I managed to get these (flat but will be fat) chickens made, thank you Claire I appreciate you sending across the pattern. Thinking I may adapt the design to incorporate a tail as my eldest asked where it was!!! I have changed the legs slightly but I'm pleased with the overall look and love mixing different fabrics. I wonder who's going to want one of these for Easter? Today I also received my first blog award from Emma , which I was totally chuffed about. Thank you Emma for choosing me it means alot (glad someone reads my ramblings!!) I love your blog too!

So, the Easter holidays are nearly upon us, my eldest has finished nursery for the hols and he was a little bit tearful as most of the kids he goes to school with will be going up to reception after easter, I'm sure a few chocolate eggs will take his mind off it.

Tomorrow me and the boys are going to get the Easter tree out and decorate it, pic's will follow. Love decorating the house for any occasion, I'm sure Mr S thinks I'm mad but he's grown used to it-I think?! Any excuse to have lots of pretty decorations out which means no dusting for a week hee hee!

Have a great weekend!
