Christmas Exchange at Needlecraft Haven 🎁

I'm just a little behind on posting the exchange we did at the beginning of the month, but here it is. 

 This is what I received (minus the background).


Oooh, look what I opened, so lovely! The background fabric is the same one used on the ornament, perfect.


Isn't it adorable?! I wrote that I like polar bears and was not disappointed! We didn't know until later who sent it, so a huge thank you to Deb, what a beautiful way to start Christmas.


This is what I sent to Dusty, it was fun putting it together.


I had no idea what to stitch, but I thought this little guy was cute. It didn't come together as well as I would have liked, so don't look too closely.

I placed it in a tin lid from a cookie container I had, and asked DH to drill a hole on top for the string.


Thanks to Christine for organizing the exchange and thanks again to Deb for such a lovely ornament - another fun event at Needlecraft Haven!

    Another lovely exchange. I love the Ornament you received. I'm not such a "cute" fan LOL. But the tun lid is an inspired finishing idea.
