I have just completed my 2nd swap. My swap partner was Cheri who sadly doesnt have a blog so I cant give you her link. These are the gifties that Cheri so kindly made for me.
Some little coasters for cool drinks as I don't drink tea. @ pink fat quarters and some buttons that I left out of the picture. Sorry Cheri. A hand knitted face washer, a little cake of soap an oven mitt and a little throw that I am going to use for afternoon tea delights.
I have finished my swap giftie which will be posted tomorrow Thursday 12/3, just one day before the deadline. Just made it Stephanie.
For those who dont know the swap was organized by Stephanie from loft creations. Stephanie is such a sweet person and it has been a real pleasure getting to know her.
Have you been to Chooky Blues blog lately. She has this amazing little quizzy thingy, well sorta but not really. Her link isnt actually working so here it is rainbow quiz. You just answer some simple questions (no right or wrong ones it doesnt matter) and then they give you your personality by colour. Mine was really accurate and a little scary. But then some people say I am a little scary. Hey Chooks we dont call it scary do we, we are just a little crazy and loving it.
Not many sleeps to go now till GDITC. This annual event has been so well organised by Kerry from Cottage on the Hill.
For a sneak peek of what we will be making at the retreat pop over to Rosalie Quinlan blog and Leanne's blog you will need to scroll down to a Sneak Peek from Nundle post. Dont they all look fabulous?
All of the girls going have been emailing the most hilarious emails about what to pack for the event. Peg sends us a daily list of things we need to take. Snacks, music, drinks. Peg says we need to snack every 2 hours to keep up our strength, we most definatley need to keep up our fluids (the alcoholic bevys kind of course) as good stitching cant be achieved if you are dehydrated or hungry.
I await tomorrows installment....keep them coming girls.
Nighty night
May your Angels Come to Play with my Angels

Very nice tea swap gifts from Cheri, all pink and pretty. Darling tea towel! It's been so nice for me to get to know my lovely new people.
You ladies are going to have way too much fun at your retreat. I'll be looking forward to lots of fun blog posts!
