The Inaugural A&C Swap - sign up here!

[GreebosWhiskers]

Yeah I know I said I'd post on Monday but I know some of you are getting a little over-excited (naming no names meridian) so here it is.

Easter Swap

Either 1 medium or 2 small Easter-themed items. I'll leave the details entirely up to the individual as you all know what constitutes small or medium for your own particular passion.

Sign up on this thread by 11th February & I'll post partners the day after. Parcels should be mailed by 10th March so that gives us a whole month.

To sign up please copy the list of names & post it, adding your name to the bottom.

I'll go first shall I?

Champs...did you get my email yesterday? I would like to post out your Easter swap tomorrow if possible. Post office closed this afternoon and it's my birthday on Friday..got to spend most of the day at work though!! I need your addy please!!

i'm so pleased you like it! you do not have to share, tell your fella to keep his mits off and hide them from all the childminded kids!

Dizzyday thank you so much for your lovely present!! I really like the vintage fabric and am fascinated at how it is put together! I use my sewing machine a lot but no way am I that proficient with it

And the chocs were yum - I think at a generous estimate they lasted about 10 minutes

Miaou - I'm so glad that you liked it.

I can't take any credit for the design - it was something I saw in a patchwork magazine. It's just like origami but with fabric!!

I'll email you the instructions as there are 2 versions of it

Oooh lovely thank you!!

oooo, where are piccies, i want to see it!!!

Anyone seen Champs? I need her addy to send my swap!!

I've added a couple of pics to my blog

Oooh dizzyday I would add a comment but I don't have a password !

I think it's really lovely and the little pocket right at the front is the perfect size for my embroidery scissors - it is just right for keeping my bits and pieces handy but out of the way of little fingers!

(You may post that on your blog on my behalf if you like )

oh its just fantastic! {JBR gushes away and blames the pregnancy hormones!}

bah so sorry dingle!! been hectic and on and off internet access!! will go check email and reply.

Vintageviolet thank you for my gorgeous easter swap, it is in the (still not finshed) nursery now, and it is the only piece of decoration that is personalised for the baby - you are brilliant!

i've blogged my swap now - so pleased JBR liked it here

Hello, I've just blogged my easter swap gift from Fubsy on my blog and also on the Mumsnet Crafters blog

It's sooooooo lovely !

have we all received our swaps now?

No, Champs and me were a bit late!!I have posted mine to her and hoping that she has got it today. Waiting to put piccies on my blog! I think she has posted hers to me, but I haven't got it yet.

Wanted this one "out of the way" before singing up to the Vintage- might be too late for that now anyway.
