Welcome

As the song from Gilmore Girls says “So welcome to my little corner of the world”. It’s all about me and my crafting – focusing around my love for stitching and sewing along with anything else that catches my eye. So welcome, grab a coffee and happy reading.

Biscornu swap with Steph

Steph very kindly offered to do a swap with me to enable me to complete one of my challenges on my 101 list that was (I also did a swap with McKenna so double tick!) We decided to do a biscornu swap and here is what I sent Steph...


So to the close ups...a biscostar...top and bottom or bottom and top!



I will find the pattern and share the link with you all. It's stitched on fruit tea dyed lined in a pretty vari thread from dinky dyes called Aussie dreams.

I also sent Steph the Sheldon bookmark you saw yesterday, some Pez for her minnie mouse, a cute notebook and a bag of bits.

Steph in return sent me this most amazing, generous, and breath taking parcel. I did wonder why postie couldn't get it through the door so when hubby brought a rather large (for a biscornu) box from the sorting office, I found it full of this goodness...


So sitting on the hand dyed linen  which steph dyed for me for a blackwork project is a gorgeous charm pack of fabric in greens, some little charms and buttons, a candle, crochetted heart and an angel cookie cutter.

This fab card...


and the most amazing biscornu I've ever seen. It's a stunning 15 sided one with a matching mini one.




It is truly breathtaking. I must admit I'm in a little bit of shock about it all! I'm off for a sit down!

Happy Stitching.

    Ooooh that IS a gorgeous biscornu set you received! The fabric just makes it such a one-of-a-kind gift! Just gorgeous! Your biscostar is great also, and I am hoping to try that kind of assembly this year thanks to your blog! Hugs!

    I should have waited for you to post this then I could have snaffled your pics of my star ^_^Mine came out too dark. I loved all of my goodies ( as you know...I may have gushed a lot!) It's a shame people can't hold the star to see how lovely it is...but it's mine so they can't!! ^_-
    Hehe! The box I used was bit enthusiastic really! I picked up a couple in the garden centre to use for post, but they were a tad too big. Glad it was all good and you liked.
    Thanks for the lovely swap.
    happy hugs
