OOOOO! I was ever so excited when the postman knocked on the door at 7:45 this morning! I don't mind being woken by the postman as it usually means he's got some lovely parcel for me! And he had 2!!! One was a big bag of jiffy bags as I was starting to run low for posting out my orders! The other was much more exciting......

Aren't these Russian Dolls just LOVELY!!! Thank you Chloe!!!! they are going to have pride of place on my 'show and tell' shelf in my craft room so I can look at them while I sew!!!

I've certainly enjoyed my first 2 swaps and will maybe sign up for more once I've got some other stuff done first! I still have the June challenges for MSOE (platypus) and UKteam (mushrooms!) to start thinking about and I've made a start on some Christmas prototypes...well....I've sewn a pile of felt balls so far!

I haven't quite decided what they are going to be yet, I've got a few ideas! I've also been working on a few custom items for people at work. I made the cutest felt ipod and forgot to take a photo, I might make another one to show...oh! maybe a felt mobile phone as well?! I made a set of 4 brooches for a friends missus who is into Emily the Strange, they turned out quite well....and she loved them! YAY!

And finally I managed to finish the felt art that I started a billion years ago and pop them in a couple of frames to go up in my craft room once I've found the drill! Sad cloud and Rainbow are definitely my favourite of the four I made so I've decided to keep the first ones! I plan on keeping them as a limited edition of 5 each and will make a start on some more once I've remembered that I do actually need some RED felt!!!! Maybe I need to start making a list ready for my next felt order? ;)
