I've been trying to write this post for three days ... but I've been having awful problems trying to upload my photos on the new blogger system ... anyone else struggling?
At last, after three attempts and hours of waiting, I've managed to finally get some photos uploaded!
So ..... I was thrilled on Wednesday, when the postman delivered this huge box of delights...
because I knew it was from my Autumn Swap partner Helen @ Ramblings of the Doormat!
The box was packed with lovely Autumn goodies ....
a sweet knitted pumpkin
cool fingerless gloves
a gorgeous toadstool pincushion
super scraps of fabric and papers to add to my stash
I love this ....
because it opens into a fab emergency sewing kit. It's gone striaght into my handbag!
Everything was wrapped in 'kiddymade' wrapping paper and the spaces in the box were filled with enormous pine cones. Thank you so much Helen, I am delighted with every single thing!
I know Helen has received my swap parcel, so now I can show you what I sent:
which included my first attempts at sewing gifts
a button brooch
and an owl pin cushion ( which I hear has been claimed by Helen's little girl!)
Finally, I popped in some Hallowe'en sweeties in haunted house bags.
I've really enjoyed taking part in this swap and met a new friend too!
Glad it is not just me! I was struggling all yesterday afternoon trying to upload photos....extremely frustrating. Any idea what the problem is?
