frith_in_thorns: A rainbow of yarn on shelves (.Yarn)
I got a wonderful parcel FULL of stuff in the post from [personal profile] redsnake05 for the [community profile] homemade2homemade craft exchange! Here are all the things. (Some of my photos are upside down - they weren't before I uploaded them.)


A little bag!


A notebook with a lovely wood-burned design on the wooden cover!


Four badges! My favourite is the sewn galaxy one.


The problem with taking photos of things on the floor is that my bunny really really wants to investigate everything...


A wood-burned ruler with moomins on! (I love moomins.)


Another little bag, with embroidery! (And bonus bunny)


A yarn bag! These are great because you suspend them from your wrist with the yarn in while you knit. I actually own one that's about half the size of this and is great for small yarn balls but doesn't fit larger ones, so this having a larger size one too now is perfect!

Thank you so much, Red! I'm absolutely delighted :D :D

Right, so I spent most of the half-term being ill, as is only traditional for teachers. (I made a nice cave under my duvet and Ellie brought me tea.)

But during this, something delightful arrived in the post, which was my [community profile] homemade2homemade gift which I'd completely given up on! Apparently it did a fair bit of bouncing over the globe, was returned to sender in Australia, and then made another outward journey.

It is WONDERFUL and [personal profile] tielan is a sewing genius. I already knew this as I've seen pictures of her quilts, but getting to see an item up close is something else altogether.

I took A LOT of unboxing photos.

Seriously, so many... )



A photo of the whole bag. I seriously love it and am in awe. I especially really love the swirly fabric on the outside, it's beautiful and really works so well as a Star Trek bag. And the gold piping! I have only done a bit of sewing and it is really HARD to get something to look as brilliant as this -- I couldn't come anywhere close.

[personal profile] tielan, thank you so much! This is INCREDIBLE, I really am absolutely over the moon! ♥ ♥ ♥

This is a repost of a post from a couple of weeks ago, but apparently the images didn't work for most (but not all!) people, I have no idea why. Hopefully they work this time!

I had a great time making something for the inaugural [community profile] homemade2homemade exchange! I knitted a lace shawl, because that's my thing. My recipient, [personal profile] abigail89, said that she was a Ravenclaw, so I made a feathery shawl in very dark blue with bronze beading.



Way more photos under the cut! )
