I received! Everything is brilliant!

Here is the whole lot: Cute pleated makeup bag, Makeup brush roll-up, a little ID pocket with key chain holder, and amazing chocolates!

Thanks so much, Sparkledust! Everything is fantastic. I will be using the makeup bag in with my gym kit because it is the perfect travel size and can hold the essentials. The brush roll will be so useful because my brushes have just been scattered across my desk, now I no longer have an excuse to be messy. And the chocs are amazing...I love coffee anything so mint coffee chocolate is heaven. Half is gone already   

I'm finishing up my small today and will send on Monday or Tuesday. I hope you like the package even a fraction as much as I like mine!

These are so amazing. Love the pleated bag and the brush roll.

What a beautiful package - beautiful fabrics!

[Sparkledust]

I'm so glad you liked it as I worried the bag was too small. I followed all of them from tutorials, I find making the patterns up a lot harder than the execution so usually cheat in this way, why bother when someone else has done the hard work?

The pleated bag was easier then I thought, I added stiffener to the lining fabric so it held well but didn't effect the drape of the outer cotton.

I loved the fabrics too, hopefully some more appear on my fav auction site soon! Looking forward to receiving my package, I could do with going through my make-up stuff and throwing out the unused bits and bobs!

Great stuff there!  Can't wait to see everyone else's!

I love the fabric, especially the green with pink flowers - it looks like something I would absolutely pick out for myself! I just wanted to say thanks again and have a quick brag because I've had my package for nearly a week now and I've honestly been using my stuff every single day at home & the gym. It was such a cute and useful package!!!

Well well well I was off to collect my parcel straight after work today and was wondering well why on earth would my sichaun peppercorns be recorded delivery?! And then I get in the queue and when my parcel arrives it is not a parcel oh no I have a BOX presented to me! A box! Now you're all jealous right?! Thankfully I am a bit closer to the depot than Holakitty is so I could run down the road home quick as anything to open it! (If you were not excited about the box my peppercorns where at home when I got there!).

And this is a bit image heavy but here goes....! So excited, the first pic is the full package



I got a Recipe book, personalized with a recipe in it for American no bake cookies. Someone learnt a lot about me from such a small questionnaire! The binder also slides out so if mix accidentally gets on it I think I should be able to clean it easily, functional and stylish! Behind this is my make up bag, this is a large size folks, I can get everything in here including my skin cleanser, moisturiser etc and it has another inside pocket too. (close up later) The appliqué is fab, I love all those things like the word LOVE pillows etc, this is two birds kissing saying kiss and make up, just superb!
And then I got lots of home-made goodness including some of those cookies, I tried re-wrapping it but it is so obvious two have already gone before I took the picture lol! I will do closeups of the chocs later along with my super duper mug cosy, which will become a permanent fixture, the longer my tea can stay warm the better, I'm always one of those who ends up drinking half of it cold because i was busy sewing or similar!

Zoom in of the appliqué

The pink spotty cotton is the inside pocket! You can also see a scrummy heart with my name all over it 

Cosy close up, you can't see the button but it is wooden with a floral design on it, super pretty, not seen anything like it before.

Can you just see how many recipe I can get in there!

Thank You SO much HolaKitty, you have super spoilt me. Thanks for being such a great partner for my second swap ever. You've really spurred me on to do some more knitting/crocheting, I would love to be able to make some cosy's or anything really that just wasn't knit and purl!

[Sparkledust]

Oh and it was wrapped in lovely spotty paper which I'm going to re-cycle for my card making!
