Send a Little Love Swap

Happy Valentines Day! My first ever crafty swap has been completed with Melanie from The Patchwork Robin. The Send a Little Love Swap (in time for Valentines Day) was organised by Mad About Bags. Below is what I sent to Melanie, and what she sent in return. So much love!

The parameters were; Send a minimum of 5 things to include *Something heart shaped or themed *Something deliciously edible *Something handmade *Something red

The love I sent off to the UK
The facecloth I made from this free pattern
using two strands of contrasting cotton

*******
The love I received in return!

 

Thanks so much to Melanie for all the love, check out The Patchwork Robin for links to tutorials for the mug bag and crochet heart wreath Melanie made me. Thank you also to Mad About Bags for organising. I had fun with my first ever swap and am sure I am going to do more. Although perhaps I shouldn't commit myself just at the moment... the knitting needles are calling.

  2. That's a cool concept Karen! I reckon that'll be the second-best face washer you've made - my Mario one is AMAZING!

    1. I'm very glad you like it Dave. I did try to get a picture of it before I gave it to you, but I couldn't get the angle right. Stay clean ;)
