I received from Kitschkween today! Look at my awesome goodies

A hook roll in the most PERFECT fabrics

And this was the first time she'd ever made one!

Inside were these hooks

They're decorated with sculpey, sequins, seed beads and decoupaged paper. How pretty are these?!

Cute stitchmarkers. I've never used any before, and I love that my first set have been made just for me

The bird ones have tiny safety pins, so I'm thinking of using one or two as brooches on jackets or bags. I love the swallow 

A beaded necklace with a pair of folding scissors! I love the green!!


Beautiful wool. The black is Noro wool/silk and the green is a mix including mohair and alpaca, and she sent loads which will make a big drapey scarf


And a vintage pattern for a cloche hat. I love the bottom view with the brim turned down, I may try this at the weekend


She also sent me some freezer paper, which I can't wait to try stencilling with.

Kitschkween you're fantastic and I feel really lucky, thanks again!

Here's the needle roll opened up and in action.  I pinned the stitch markers inside for easy access.  I can't get over the hand stitching on this thing... and the colors and buttons.... exactly my style.  I LOVE this!!  Thanks sooo much Israma!!

YEY!! i'm so glad you liked everything. i love the bamboo hooks too. and the gauge is vintage cause i coudnt find a newer model! i'm so happy you liked the needle roll!

Sweet package, SalutingMagpies! Never thought of decorating hooks with sculpey, that's a great idea!

[meganlorraine]

I received an amazing package from justcheeky. She did a great job & it was her first swap.

Everything:

a large project bag already in use. 6 different yarns, 3 hooks & a needle roll

Closeup of the bag with a tree from my wists & the hook roll:


can you guys guess my favorite color combos & prints   

[kitschkween]

justcheeky, you did an amazing job on the bag and roll!

i had fun crafting for you, SalutingMagpies! I'm glad you like everything.

the sculpey hooks are really easy. just decorate, then bake at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes. after it cooled, i put a couple coats of modpodge. before the last coat dried, i added the sequins, beads and rhinestones.

Ooh, I love that bag.
