Mouthy Stitches Swap Love!

Good morning!

I couldn't wait to post about this.

After a long day at work yesterday,

I got home to find the most awesome package in the mail!

It was the perfect ending to the day.

I received my tote from the 

Mouthy Stitches Swap 2.

It was another FABULOUS swap.

I was the LUCKY recipient of this gorgeous bag from Margaret.

You can check out her lovely blog by clickiing

Sunshine? Paradise?

Now check this out:

From the minute I saw this bag,

I knew it was mine!

(Hello??? It's the perfect pink!)

Everything about it is pure love.

When I opened the package, 

the tote was wrapped in the blue fabric sticking out from the top of the bag.

My heart did sink a tad,

because I really, really thought the pink tote was for me.

Well that Margaret is a tricky gal!

(a gal after my own heart there)

I tore that fabric off like it was Christmas!

With it came this adorable hexie key fob.

How flippin sweet is this?

And the hand stitching on all of it...

LOVE!!!!

Margaret....thank you so very much again!

I hope you know how thrilled I am to get this work of art!

OH!

I also finished by Ghastlie wall hanging.

It's so much fun to pull things out of your scrap pile to put something together.

The pompoms are just a fun little added touch.

An here it is in it's new home.

Enjoy your day!

Mouthy but Nice!

Did the title get your attention?

hee hee

I wanted to do a quick post

showing you what I've been working on.

I've been stalking someone over the past couple weeks,

but not in a weird, "I'm watching your every move" kind of way.

It's more like,

"let me make sure I get this right so you love it" kind of way.

I'm in the Mouthy Stitches 2 swap.

We're making totes for this round, which I think is great.

A quilter/crafter can never have too many totes!

It's a secret swap, so my partner doesn't know who I am.

(I love being sneaky like that)

Here's what I've come up with so far.

This is going to be the back.

(Some Patrick Lose Fizz  - I LOVE his stuff - and a nice white fabric)

And now....the front.

The little fishy could possibly be covering up a name.

We were to make a key fob to go with the tote.

I used some of my Heather Ross fish fabric

(I love those fishy's in a bag!)

which is an out of print line now.

I'm so glad I had a few fish to share!

So here's a close up of the key fob.

I'm thinking my partner might like the fish,

but we will see!

So that's the skinny folks.

I've been held captive in my sewing room.

But it's OK.

They treat me well here.

Have a good one!
