Firstly, EMS Staff Stitch N'Stash Exchange for Laura:
The idea was to stitch and finish something stitchy which could be hung and send some nice stash with it.
I stitched Laura a scissor pocket with shades of dusky rose (and got to hear from her that it's one of her favourite colours 
Tidbits:
- Design: Mother's Love Grows, complimentary design by Periphaeria Designs.
- Floss: Atalie's Pivoine.
- Fabric: 25 count linen band.
- Other:
- It is lined with fabric to make sure that scissors won't come through.
- Ribbon is ~3mm wide pink polyester ribbon I have received from an exchange and it is sewn to the lining.
- Design is stitched over one with two strands.
See how cunningly the threads and fabrics are matched. *grin*
Based on the feedback she loved everything so I think I can say that this exchange is now finished.
OMGWTFBBQBMW!
That was my first reaction when I opened the little box in Linda's envelope. In addition of sending that "one pattern from your wishlist" she sent me the mini bourse she was making for me (and I should finish hers and mail it... *ahem*).
But, pictures don't do justice to this bourse. It is just amazing.
Did I tell you that this is Linda's design?! Don't you think too that it's simply amazingly beautiful? I am in love.
In addition to this gorgeous one she sent me, not only one pattern from my wishlist, but four other patterns too - and one of the is a design I have been adoring from distance for a while!
Simple Thank You! isn't enough, but still... Thank you Linda!
And some pattern p0rn
The mysterious big envelope was what I thought it was... so, now it's time to do some simple calculus. These plus this lot:
...equals:
As previously mentioned I have some duplicates, but they, plus few other extras I have, will find a loving home from Linda's house.
I think that it might have been a very good idea to mae the bedroom my craft room... my pattern stash is already taking half a shelf (1 meter shelf).
