It arrived! =D

I am so very relieved! Today I hear from Carol S. that she finaly got the return gift I made her. A few months ago Carol sent me a absolutely lovely froggy fob, and then, it was my time to return her kindness. =) I made her this Xmas ornament. I used a Lizzie Kate design I like a lot and designed the shape of the ornie. I think next time I will add some red beads to the hanger so it will not look so simple.Carol isn't into too girly things, so it was a "hard" time to keep me from adding all the girly girl stuff I always like to add in my pieces. =P Making something for such a great stitcher and finisher took me a few nights of good sleep... But I am pleased with the final result and she says she likes the piece. =) I can't wait to see it hangging at her Xmas tree or at some door knob at her home. I am sure she has been a good girl all this year! =D

Edited: I realise that I never posted a pic of the beautiful Fob I got from Carol S. Oh boy... Shame on me! =( She allowed me to use a "stolen" pic from her blog, because her pics are waaaaaay much better than mine! =P Take a look and tell me: isn't it the most adorable thing ever seen?! =)

I also just heard from Pascale B., at the Netherlands, that she got her gift today too! Oh my! =) Tell me about perfect timing! Lol.

Pascale likes the primitive style, so I thought this Isabelle Vautier design would please her. I stitched some sections of "Amitié Croisée" (RV120) on a tea towel. I think the couple looks quite Dutch to me. =) The pic is a bit weird: the piece is not "burnt" like showed here. Dunno what I have done wrong... =(

My 1st Crazy Exch. came from the Netherlands!

Woo hoo!
Simone de Jong sent me the most exquisite and unusual piece!It's a magic book! The tricky thing is that it opens both from right to left and from left to right.
The lovely stitching piece would be enough but she is so talented she finished this into this magic book.

It was my 1st time seeing something like this. I will treasure it!

I met Simone at Crazy Exchanges group,and I am very thankful of it. She is just a darling person!

Husband and I were very intrigued with that piece.Isnt it lovely?

At the left you see the flossies she sent me and the lovey card. At the right, you see the hugd she included in the pack. Simone, sweetie, I got them all!:o)

Love you deeply!

Now I can show...

...what I have sent to my partner, Rita , as her Valentine's Day Exch.!:o)I made her a tea towel and have choosen some Jeremiah Junction designs I sorted out from a larger sampler.It was a delight to stitch.

Here the goodies I included.

Hope you had have a great Valentine's Day, Rita, even I am being late on the arriving... Well... Budapest is really distant from Brasil!:o)
