WOW, is what I have to say today, thank you to my blogging friends. There is too much to include in one post but here is a start. First to arrive was this gorgeous parcel from elisabethandree.wordpress.com who has sent all these wonderful bunting creations……………………
a host of beatiful flowers…………………….and some really beatiful colourful cotton yarn along with 7 balls of baby pink that I am sure can be transformed into pink fishes, flowers or even a few little piggies for us to add to our project.
Of course the piggies will need wings if they are to fit the fantasy theme!
Then there was another bag with pink and peach cotton which I have started to make some flowers with.
They are not quite finished yet I need to add the stamens and another layer to the front to add a bit more dimension, a bit cinderellaish at the moment but they will be transformed over the next few days. Time permitting I will share the finished items later.
Right now to write the next few thank you posts so see you again soon.
Thank you for the mention, I look forward to meeting up with you in the near future.

Just wanted to let you know that I received the prettiest thing ever, not in a box but in an envelope. Your gorgeous garland has arrived safely, thank you so much. I love all the bright coloured flowers and the little pearl centres are fab. I have taken pics today so will get on with the text and post about it this week. Thank you again, we really appreciate it so much.

Aaaah, lovely 🙂 I’ll contact you in the next couple of days. I’ve made a few things but didn’t want to promise them until I’d actually made them, they might’ve turned out disastrous and I’d be panicking 😀
