I have recently taken part in the I love hearts swap organised by all4meggymoo and was partnered with the lovely Mirjam over in the Netherlands. We had to send 5 things all with a heart theme. My parcel arrived and in it were all these little packages.
When I opened them, here's what I found! What a lot of gorgeous things. She had included some flower seeds too which I shall plant in Spring.
There was a little cat folder and some paper heart bunting made by people in Nepal.
Inside the little cat folder were lots of little notebooks and sticky notes. Mirjam and I both have cats so she knew I would love this!
She had made three felt hearts and two crocheted ones.
This piece of felted fleece she included as a 'bit of fun'. It is from a fleece she bought last year from a Dutch breed called 'Drents Heideschaap' and the sheep were/are used to maintain the hay fields.
It has really long fibres and is incredibly soft. She knows I enjoy making felt, so thought I would find this interesting, which I do. Huge thanks to Mirjam - she has been a delight to be partnered with and has sent me so many wonderful things. So, what did I send to her, you may be asking? More in my next post!
Oh lovely goodies Ellie
