I got my first package from my secret FOC!  They wrote to say that they were having some personal issues, and thus had trouble crafting for the first send out.  But they still took the time to send me some beautiful cotton yarn and some beaded stitch markers.  I hope your personal issues straighten themselves out soon, secret FOC!  And thank you for my first package! 



(sorry for the bad pic)

that yarn looks awesome! is it soft to the touch or is it a stiff cotton?

What gorgeous stuff!  I love those kanzashi hair clips!  And craft_t_chic, you must be bouncing off the wall with your Wonder Woman goodness there!    And that yarn and stitch markers-- so pretty!

I got another package from my FOC today Sadly I'm out of batteries for my camera again I'll get some tomorrow so if you have pics feel free to send them to Hertrigger. My secret FOC is still working on my big package so she sent my store bought package first.

First off I would like to say that the chocolate was very yummy. Milk chocolate+coconut=heaven

The leather purse should be perfect for work I think. Its large enough that I think I can sneak in small knitting projects like socks I also got 2 skeins of Bernat Boucle' for me to make a one skien wonder And really cute kitty stickers too. Also she made a card out of really pretty paper that I'm going to have to cut up and use

It's pretty soft.  And from Italy, I believe.

I received from my FOC today.


I received a crocheted brown clutch (yeah!!) and coin purse, two cuffs (they both fit) and some sleeves for my ATC's (which I really needed).


Here is the lining ( I love this fabric). The cuffs are the same fabric with some lace on them, too.

Thanks so much secret FOC! I love the clutch and everything is perfect!!

I received Package #2 from my FOC today.  It's a fantastic purse!!  I cannot believe all the lovely greens in this purse.  Without further delay -

Here is the purse (yea, I hung it on hubby's shepherd's hook, don't tell him!):


Here is a close up of the strap, cuz I love it so much - I would have never thought to do something like this!:


And inside was a little zippered pouch!  Okay, not so little, it's about 6x5, I can carry lots of crap stuff in it!


And lastly a shot of the fabric lining both purse and pouch and used on the handles of both: (love this color too):


I have to go to a party tomorrow and guess what I'm taking?!  Thanks FOC'cer!!!

I have a sneaky crafter!  Sneaky crafter is sending her packages around North America (Canada, Eastern U.S.).  

My second package is a very-very-very-very well made apron.  The sturdiness of it is shocking.  It has the most adorable decorative buttons.  So cute!

Here is what I know about sneaky crafter (sc):
*sc has many crafter friends---big swapper maybe?
*very fine seamstress
*tight, immaculate knitter


 
 



Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!
