Another Great Post Day!!

Another wonderful day from the postie today. I received my charm from Kim - which is from a swap run by the Surface Designs Group. I love how the edges are done, and can't quite figure out how the fabric is made, but it's gorgeous - all sparkly, and both sides different colours. Thanks Kim!! Also, I received a wonderful green and pink ATC from Doreen. It has beautiful gold embellishments on it, and I really love it!! And how about the equally gorgeous card I received with the ATC!? Thanks Doreen!! Oh, and I didn't receive the "fairy postcard" today, but when I posted about it in a previous post, didn't put up a photo (don't know why - just a forgetful day I suppose) - so here is the beautiful postcard which I received from Anna - which I posted about here.

Fabric Charms Sent

I finished the Fabric Charms and sent them off today. Added to them was an eyelet, and some machine made cord for the link to attach them to the bracelet. I also made a pair of earrings out of the charms for Ruth, but the photo (which I tried to fix up - ahhhggg) is really bad.

Fabric Charm Bracelet Swap

Cut Into One Inch Squares
I have joined yet another swap - I'm addicted to them!! This was organised by Ruth http://ruthrae.blogspot.com/. There are 15 ladies involved, and we all make 15 charms, send them to Ruth, who will organise the charms and then make the bracelets. Thanks Ruth! I made a piece of fabric (see my previous blog), which I have now cut into 1" squares for my charms.


Nice As A Fabric Mosaic
Then I picked out the nicest, textured pieces and have satin stitched the edges. When I've made 15 of them I will add the eyelets for the bracelet links. I really like them just as they are, so don't think I'll add anything to them - but who knows!! Actually I really like them all lined up - would make a great fabric mosaic!! These small one inch pieces could become quite addictive.......
