Spring swap part 1

Hello,
Earlier this year Steph and I decided to have a 4 seasons swap and just before Easter we exchanged our spring parcels


Steph in all her marvellousness sent me an awesome Easter egg hunt...


Here it is all unpacked on the beautiful blanket. 

The blanket was made of the softest wool and is lovely for my lap on cooler evenings


Steph stitched this beautiful spring bunny cushion. You can find the link to the design on Steph's blog. 


There a stunning and very long granny square scarf. It was very handy on our break to Minehead last week as it was a little breezy. 


Steph stitched this friendship biscornu 


And the back with a lovely daisy button


A needle felted sheep...



Then there was this wonderful bag, stuffed full of goodies including a Lindt bunny, sweets, candle, charms, 3 cheerful crocheted brooches and flower garlands! 


Steph is a very talented artist too and painted me this postcard, here's the front...


And the back, I love the fabric in the heart. 


Still with me as there is so much more still to go!!!

Flower garlands

Bunny and monster egg covers for the kids


And one of Steph's fabulous fabric books. It's really worth reading Steph's blog about this as she explains is so much better than I can. 


The cover with a granny square in the same wool as my cosy blanket


A spring lamb in the field and spring is the time to get creative...


And of course a spring giraffe!! The back cover below had a beautiful mandala on it. I did hint to Steph that it would make a stunning brooch! 


And last of all is a wee Witchy postcard...


So as you can see I was truly blessed with the swap. Steph is an amazingly talented lady. I'm already plotting the summer swap. 

My makes for the swap coming up in part 2...

Thanks for reading. xx
