Embroidery Hoopla R9 - The Not Just Thread Round (SU closed, SO Mar 5)

[rachel.in.rainbows]

I've been housesitting since Saturday, and being away from all my crafty gear has meant I have been at a stand-still. I just can't get into the groove being out of my space!

Hopefully I will be able to use tomorrow night to finish the things I'm working on for the Book Lovers Swap, and then I can use the weekend to work my way through the hoops I have planned for this swap!

I've planned both my hoops, I just hope there's enough 'not thread' to fulfill the swap requirements!

I have the opposite problem I've yet to figure out where to use thread... But I found my main color at the office today! It was on the floor, under a chair, where I'm quite sure I didn't put it >_> (must've rolled off the table when I grabbed my hoop and project bag to get back to my desk) Luckily we have good cleaners, so my main color is still the same color it was when I started using it

I have several great ideas and started a mock up of one last night.  I think I like what I see so far

[Bobomom]

I have it just about finished. I should be able to send out later this week or this weekend.

Figured it out. May not be able to send out till Monday but by then for sure! Yay! So excited!

I finished one hoop yesterday and hope to get the other started today!

Checking in!  Still in the planning stage.

[Bobomom]

I sent today!

So... I'm kind of done, maybe. I'm really pleased with how the hoop came out - but if I'm honest it's not the most complicated design and took about 3/4 hours all in, so I sort of feel like it's not enough. I didn't want to add any extra because the simplicity is part of it really.
Maybe I should do another small hoop too? Or some other 'extra' to make up the parcel. What do you guys think?

Well extras are not 'allowed' so I'd suggest not sending anything else.  There are no time requirements for how long you must spend on your hoop so if you feel it's good and your partner will be happy with it, go ahead and just send it.
