I know it's November, but here's my belated post on the Halloween Exchange I joined with Needlecraft Haven, such fun! I received my parcel way before Halloween from Clare @Aimetu's Stitching, and it was so hard not to take a peek.
But I waited and look at the goodies I received! I thought there was only one trick being the Christmas card, but she had to give me a hint on the others... I found out the bag had been sewn shut AND the floss (a little hidden on the left side of the photo) had been pre-cut and then I couldn't find the end to unwind the rest - both very sneaky!
This is the ornament Clare made me, aren't they so cheerful?! I love it and I think they're happy in their new home! Thanks so much, Clare, I love it all.
This is what I sent to Deb, just in time for opening day on Halloween.
This is her photo, I had forgotten to take one of everything together before I sent it. The only trick I sent was the Zombie Skittles and when you get one, you know it because it's nasty!
This is the ornament I made for Deb, it's a combination of two freebies from Durene Jones on fb. It wasn't supposed to be that way, but I goofed and then went with it. I used glow in the dark floss for Boo, but it never seems to glow for very long. I even found "matching" fabric for the back.
I also included a Halloween scissor fob I made.
And now I need to think about the Christmas exchange, what to stitch, what to stitch? 🎄
What wonderful exchange packages!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! What you said about the skittles reminded me - have you ever tasted 'Thrills' gum? Talk about nasty stuff!!
ReplyDeleteHaha glad you found the tricks - the pumpkins look very much at home
ReplyDeleteI would say you did very well both on the sending and receiving end. For me, it is never too late or too early to share Halloween stitching!
ReplyDeleteI love both the ornaments you received and sent. I'm not much of a Halloween stitcher, but I'm getting there fast.
ReplyDeleteFantastic exchange!
ReplyDeleteA lovely exchange, you all sent such wonderful things for this holiday season.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun exchanges; I especially love the backing fabric on the Boo ornie! :)
ReplyDeleteThese exchanges are great fun. I'm enjoying all the little tricks too.
