Third and final set for the Spring Exchange


These arrived from Cheryl, aren't they cute! little blue penguins with very sparkly blue and red acrylic crystals to match!

I really enjoy the exchanges, and i am planning my Spring sets already - the sets i sent this time were all Christmassy ones to tie in with the Winter theme. I used white tiger eye beads to represent snowballs, with red and green swarovski crystals and some really cute Christmassy silver charms - i really hope my partners like them :o)

Hats off to all of you that partake in the Stitchmarker Swap. Every time Fran shows me some of them I am in complete awe... the time & patience that goes into creating them is wonderful. They are all true works of art.

Oh bless ya! See, i find making stitchmarkers fun and not complicated at all, but cross stitch on the other hand... when i see your pieces i am in complete awe!!

The red and green one's look so opulent/stunning I'd be wanting to wear them, rather than knit with them:)

Franney your stitchmarkers are awesome...I have made a few in my time but they are just not half as exquisite as yours :D


The penguins are cute though...and a wintery theme I wouldn't have thought of....lucky you aswell as lucky those who got yours!!!
