I've been spoilt

Michelle is my swap partner for the Let's Celebrate swap and she thoroughly spoilt me for my birthday. Look at the beautiful pouch she made me, I love the design and the fabrics. The project box is perfect for storing the blocks I'm working on and Michelle very generously filled it with lots of lovely goodies. Thank you so much Michelle, I love it all!
And thank you everyone for your get well wishes after my last post, you are all so kind!  I am much better and have got back to some crafting this week.  A bit of painting (which is different for me!) and knitting.  The jumper is for Charlie and the photo shows my first attempt.  I reluctantly decided it was too large for Charlie so have re-knitted it in a size small and with tighter tension.  Thankfully it is fitting her well this time and I am up to the bottom rib.  There has also been a little bit of stitching done lately but as it is all for gifts so I cannot show you it yet!  Wendy xx

    Lucky girl - that project bag is gorgeous.
    Pretty jumper you're working on there, sorry it had a false start.
    Enjoy the paints.

    the goodies inside are lovely too, such a great idea.

    The cover is a great idea for the project box - very pretty, too. The jersey you are knitting is a gorgeous colour - is it knitted from the top down?

    Your gifts from Michelle are gorgeous. Charlie's jumper is a pretty colour, isn't it horrible having to redo something like that!
    Good to hear you're back to health again too...
