"OwL sWaP pReSeNtS"

oooooohh look at all my stuff!

a gorgeous smell came from within the jiffy bag
it was coming from this fantastic crochet owly eyemask!

a very fancy box of chocolates

ooooohhh!!

this little box of chocolates came in some very unusual flavours!

some sweet vintage buttons & beads

and this cute pair of owl brooches
my daughter has her eye on one of these
and as there are two i think i will share!

thanks again to Karalea for being my swappee and to MeridianAriel for organising this fun swap xxxxxxx

***** OwL sWaP *****

i've been dying to blog about what i made for the owl swap organised by
MeridianAriel @ http://meridianariel.blogspot.com/
but i needed to wait until my swapee had received her parcel , it went to
Karalea @ http://karalea-karalea.blogspot.com/
in the USA
i'm always nervous when the swap is in transit
hoping it doesn't get lost or worse still that the swapee will be disappointed especially after seeing all the other fantastic owls being sent and received http://www.flickr.com/groups/970960@N24/ here
but it got there safely and Karalea said
"I absolutely LOVE it" - phew!!

here is what i sent to Karalea

a felt brooch - a pair of owl eye buttons & a owly greetings card

unfortunately i took my photo's in a bit of a hurry and most of them came out blurry these were the best of the bunch
i'm glad i take so many photo's of each item!

i'm really enjoying making these fat owl brooches and so i will be making some more for the shops
do you think the bright coloured ones or the natural coloured ones look best?
I can't decide!
