A very quick post to share a few bits and bobs I’m sending my crafty secret Santa in the Stitching Santa swap. She’s a yarn lover who knits beautiful lace, so most of my £10 budget was spent on this locally produced yarn…
These pretty buttons were made by a local crafter…
Since my swap partner is an accomplished knitter, it felt a bit coals to Newcastle knitting for her, so I so unearthed my sewing machine and made…
I’m sending a few other bits and bobs too, but these are the gifts I’ve most enjoyed finding and making. I hope my partner likes them. Thanks again to Shelia for organising the swap.
What a great idea – whoever receives your lovely gift is very lucky indeed!

Well I know now I’m not your partner as I can’t be described as somebody ‘who knits beautiful lace’. Drat, I love that wool and buttons too!

New mind, you can work on the lace for next year 😉 I love those buttons too – don’t want to part with them.

I thought it probably best not to as I know she’ll be reading 😉 And I don’t know about you, but there are very few surprises under the tree when you’re an adult, so it’s nice to have one…

That’s a fab looking selection of stuff! Love the crown! I’m finding this swap very exciting 😊 and I was very pleased my parcel arrived in South Africa as I was worried about the post. (I sent it in early November! )

Thank you. Me too. I was ridiculously excited on Saturday when my parcel arrived from my partner. You’re right South Africa’s post is awful – sometimes lucky to turn up at all. Guessing now who your partner is 🙂
