My swappy gift

I am so excited to share with you guys the SWAP gift I received from my dear friend DiceyJaneThreads! (go check her out!) This gal is a FAB seamstress. Something I am NOT gifted at! She sews incredible bags that I have been lucky enough to receive once before for my 30th B-day! When I heard she was my SWAP partner I was soo darn excited! I knew she was going to come up with something that was SEW amazing! Which gave me an idea. :)

This is the bag she made for me. It is made from an old quilt... and I wish you could see the inside, lined with the cutest fabric and pocket:) (for my lip gloss of course, she knows me well:) She also made the cutest wallet to match! Yesterday I took it to the store and got 3 compliments! FYI: She takes orders for these AMAZING creations she makes, and I may add that she makes the cutest APRONS that I have ever seen!

I wanted her gift to be special, and reflect her. She is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. So, I came up with this. (Thank you Charity for taking the time to take pictures! I was too excited to give the gifts, and forgot!)

The paper flowers are made from SEWING patters, and a button placed in the center.


The "SEW busy" thing is actually a door hanger. The other side says "Knot so busy" and I made it for her sewing room to hang on the door.
Get it, SEW BUSY(dont BUG me!)
Im so glad that I got my dear friend and she got me... Go check out her blog DiceyJaneThreads and look at all the FAB things she makes! You will be SEW impressed!
