I am even more spoilt.....


Oh, I am such a lucky girl, I joined in the Four Colour swap organised by the wonderful Swap Mama, Cheryll of Gone Stitchin'.  I was lucky enough to have Barb from Barb's Creations as my swap partner - she was so generous that I feel overwhelmed!

The parcels in the box which the postie brought:

Everything Barb so generously gifted me with, in all their glory:


Some beautifully scented soaps:


Some gorgeous red and white fabbie:


Yummy red lollies (gone to my desk drawer at work to share with my colleagues when we hit that 3pm slump) and a skein of my favourite Cottage Garden Threads.


A vibrant red and white pincushion and some Turkish Delight Tim Tams (how did Barb know that I have loved Turkish Delight ever since reading "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" when I was a child?).

 The red crocheted scarf (which is the perfect width and length) and mug have been put to good use already in Melbourne's cold snap.

.... and right at the end, out popped another skein of red thread.



How lucky am I?  Thank you so much, Barb.  I love my bloggy, stitchy friends!

I, of course, posted off some goodies for the swap, too, but I will just have to wait until I am certain that she received them before I post about them.

Have a great day, everyone,

hugs,
