Scissor keeper swap

Hi everyone

I recently joined a scissor keeper swap over at

Cookies and cream and I been partnered up with Karri

who lives in Narromine NSW.

I have never made a scissor keeper before, so I thought

I'd have a go. I have also made a matching needle case

and added a tassle scissor fob.

Inside I have added a selection of needles, pins, some

threads, snaps and hooks.

there is a tutorial for the needle case HERE

and the scissor keeper HERE (I have just co-ordinated

the scissor one to match the needle one)

Hope you like them Karri and can get some use out of them :o)

Thanks to Sandy for organising this swap too!

Friends swap

Hi everyone

just thought I'd pop back in to quickly show the gifts that

I sent to Marina in the F-R-I-E-N-D-S swap

F = Fabric, with christmas coming, I thought I'd send

3 fat quarters of christmas fabric.

R =  Ribbons and red snakes

I = Inspiration, A craft/sewing book

E = Embroidery threads. I was going to chose 5 skeins

but thought a nice selection on a floss card

might be a nice gift as I know that Marina

likes hand embroidery :o)

N = Needles, and a handmade needle case.

D = Decorations for her christmas tree

2 handmade reindeers and

2 handmade plum puddings

S = Small handmade button bag with some buttons

I hope you like your gifts Marina :o)

and thanks so much to Khris for organising this wonderful

swap, it was alot of fun!
