"Color swap" for Juanita Tortilla.

here's what i sent to Juanita
this was for the color swap organised by Jessica @ kidsnapping
Juanita chose her colour combination as lilac and grey
this had me a bit stumped TBH,
i knew i'd be able o sort out a nice assortment of buttons
but what else could i make?
***

after cutting out loads of different shades of purple,black and grey felt
and then layering it all up and re-arranging it many times
i chucked it into the debris on my {so called} work table
and dug out my precious bag of leather scraps
i think i've had these for well over 10 yrs so it's really time to start using them up!

so i made this little guy - he will be my last owl for awhile.

here are the buttons i put together
the purple flower in the middle is a real favourite,
i love this design, i think they are from the 40's
and the little dark purple beauty at the bottom
is a dorset button made by
BIGBLUEBED
who has etsy and folksy shops.

i also sent a fluffy cat card and some cat stickers
and some very yummy sweeties and chocolate
i know they are yummy cause i ate some **blush**
and now i am addicted!

*****color swap*****

i joined up for Jessica's {kid's napping,i'm scrappin'} color swap
&
my swap parcel arrived today!
my partner in the swap was the lovely Juanita Tortilla
she sent it out soooo fast
{i hang my head in shame as mine is neither sent *blush* nor finished}
i've got to send it out on friday - eekk!
i seem to have lost my mojo this week but today i cracked on and got crafting,
spurred on by the arrival of this lovely parcel

look at all my lovely red & turquoise coloured things!

a pretty beaded dingly-dangly

a very cute and bang on trend vintage bow embellished beaded necklace
resting on a crocheted basket

a super "sproingy" crochet cupcake with seed bead sprinkles

Mmmm . . . . . . . swiss chocolate and gummy pigs!
even the candy is colour co-ordinated and had little notes and ribbons attached!

buttons - yeah!

thank-you so much Juanita - you are a great swap partner!

{i've been eating gummy piggies all evening - somebody stop me i feel sick!!
but to be fair i can't start the chocolate till i've eaten up all the piggies!!!
oink - oink - oink}
