Thought it was time I did an update on some of the recent swaps I have been in and what I have sent and received. The latest thing in swaps seems to be mug rugs....mini quilts that are basically fabric drink coasters...I recently sent these.....The first one I used some of the fabrics from Leesa Chandler's Under the Australian Sun fabrics
For the second one I did a Bronwyn Hayes stitchery as the person receiving these likes cats....
In return I received these two lovely mug rugs...and in my favourite colours!!!!
And from the recent ALQS5 swap I received this...
and from the Creative Colour Challenge I received this lovely package which included some yummy sweets, a gorgeous piece of fabric and this mirror which has been collaged by the designer...Thanks so much Debbie...
and this is a sneak peak of what I sent to Debbie....she hasn't received it as yet so I hope it is still a bit of a surprise...
today it has been such a lovely day that I have spent some good time in the garden. and decided to take a couple of photos of some of my plants which are in flower..the above is a grevillea...as I was hacking into one of my native rosemary plants which have become so overgrown they have tipped over, I discovered this little treasure and its precious contents....I just hope I haven't scarred the parents off so that they abandoned their nest....needless to say, I stopped the pruning of that bush for the time being...
I then moved to an area which has become overgrown with blackberries (very nasty weed here in the Yarra Valley) and promptly got bitten by a bull ant....my ankle has swollen and it is SOOOOOOOO itchy!!!!! I decided then to come inside to update my blog!!!
Hope you have all had a lovely weekend...see you again
