Thank you so much to Marina, your workmanship is just beautiful and you have chosen the most perfect fabrics :) I now have a new bloggy friend to follow and be inspired by :)
I realised when I was unwrapping these packages, that I had forgotten to indicate on my packages exactly what categories my items relate to :) I guess, when my partner opens them, I will be able to let her know .......... oops :)
Huge thanks to Swap Mum Cheryll for organising yet another wonderful swap :)
