Today I received a wonderful surprise in the mail. My purse swap package arrived from Leanne from Daisy and Jack. I was expecting to wait for a few weeks for my goodies to arrive especially if they were from overseas, but it only had a small trip from NSW. My package left for the UK on Monday. Fingers crossed they will arrive quick smart.
Here is my beautiful purse. It is so modern and funky! I didn't want to be specific about what I wanted as I was happy to have something a little different and for it to be a surprise. The extras included were some fabric magnetic buttons and a gorgeous hexie needlebook. The purse has beautiful accent stitching bottom and near the frame. Lovely! Thanks so much Leanne.
This is the purse I sent to ..... I put some goodies too, a pin cushion and some sweeties. Can't wait till they get there.
there has been a finish too this week....
Now that wasn't so bad was it! What was all the procrastinating about?
Now for the little bits of heaven....
today at work we had a fair day. I got to operate the Fairy Floss machine!! Woo hoo.. Now is that like putting the inmates in charge of the asylum, I ask you. It was great fun and of course I had to tastelots some. There were some incriminating photos too as I had threatened to just stick my head in the machine and keep my mouth open. I think I have found my calling... Now don't judge it is fat free you know.
Hope your week is going swimmingly!

Marina I am having a good giggle about the mouth open in the fairy floss - I love that stuff, so no judging going on here! The gifts received are gorgeous... what are you going to do with the much-procrastinated stitchery?
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful purses and I love your finished stitchery. It's wonderful. I think you were very restrained around the fairy floss machine.
ReplyDeleteLove the stitchery Marina, and the purses look great. You do a great job of attaching the closing bits... may have to have a lesson!

ReplyDeleteWell you certainly drew the long straw at work...wahoo indeedy, the fairy floss machine, yum!!!...I think the stick your head in mouth open method would have been a fine and dandy way to conduct quality control...
