And when I received this beautiful swappage from Nicolette the other day, wowee, did it really make my day! She made the bub this cute fishy softie......
And I got this huge, and I mean HUGE, lot of fabric and bias trims. I do believe that the bar has been raised higher yet again with this wonderful package from Nicolette.
These are my faves. Tulips, dutch boys and dutch girls..........
dotty snails, ladybugs and butterflies.......
and this beautiful pre-quilted panel, that looks like an Oilily print. I love these vivid colours!
But wait, there's more! Orange flavoured dark chocolate, an avalanche of lollies, stickers and felt flowers.
It's going to be very difficult to top this package, Nicolette. Thank you, thank you very much!
Then just when I think I've had enough excitement for the day, on my front step lands this lovely package from Fiona. I had been lamenting earlier about having depleted my stash of those key-rings.
She thoughtfully came to my rescue and sent some my way, along with some colourful zips and felt shapes. Thank you, thank you very much, my dear!
And if you thought that wasn't enough, I'm now going to go linky on you and nominate the other bloggy peeps I'm bestowing the "You Make My Day" award. First of all, snap to Kate, Jhoanna, Di and Sue, because everything they create is so beautiful and inspiring. I'm always oggling and thinking I want to make something like that, too.
Last, but not the least I'm also tapping Beki, Anna, Louise, Cathy and Tamara......because they're just the nicest ladies and their blogs are always chock-full of inspiration. Whenever I see a new post in these blogs on bloglines, I'm always surfing over there for a look-see.
Anyhow, I gotta get back to my trusty crochet hook and finish this project, otherwise there won't be anything to show this weekend.
Cheerio!
