Sssssshhhhhhh…..
Posted under Crochet, Things I make
Ssssssshhhhh….somebody, somewhere is getting this gift from me sometime soon….I can’t say who, or what it is….because I’m mysterious like that. Or, more to the point, the recipient might be reading and then it would be no surprise at all would it?
This is my offering for the Art Exchange project I blogged about a few days back. Make one gift, post it off, receive 36 in return…in theory. Even if I get one I’ll be thrilled.
I do feel a bit shy about my ‘offering’ because I’m such a beginner crafter. Also, the offering was immediately snitched by a Megaboy. Then the other Megaboy forced me to make one for him. I was going to make a third, non snitchable offering for the project but I ran out of supplies. So, in the dead of night, I snitched one back from the Megaboys and have posted it off. Let’s hope they don’t notice (slim chance).
To divert attention from my crap crafting I have gone all fancy with the wrapping.

Alternative view, hopeful that the lavender diverts attention away from crap stamping:
Crocheted flower embellishment. Oddly tied on with ribbon bow and stuck down with sellotape to stop it slipping all over the place. Pure class, that’s me…pure class…
‘Handmade with more love than skill’…that’s what it says on the card. Pretty much sums it up….I do feel sorry for the recipient! But it’s been a fun project.
Alas I can’t share the contents of the parcel because it would be too embarrassing will spoil the surprise. Sorry about that.
Aww, what a lovely gift! You so crafty! X
Just love your wrapping, especially the crocheted flower with the ribbon and the colours are superduper. I’m sure you did well.
Thanks again for the pictures., had a lot of positive reactions.

You really are very crafty . . . but which sense of the word am I using?
It’s adorable.
Hey, I think your gift will be amazing….you have crafty in your bones, dear friend…..do not be embarrassed by your efforts, hand-crafted is the best kind of gift.
I sent mine off today…..too.

Gosh, beautifully wrapped but disappointed as, initially from the photo flickr, it looked like a fab cushion! But then, maybe it is, underneath the wrapping!
Oh it’s wonderful. All the tiny details, so sweet! I love the little crochet flower that matches the flower in the fabric. You are such a perfectionist my dear. Too hard on yourself and your creativity. Don’t let it stop you, keep going and enjoying the fun. I’m sure the recipient will adore it, as we all adore you.
SO CUTE!
