Yesterday was a great day... The postman brought me a parcel at lunch time that I *had to* tear apart! I open the box to reveal this lovely wrapped present... and then unwrapped it carefully to find the most beautiful Hoop and some lovely goodies from Ivy I absolutely love what she has created for me, she used all the clues from my mosaic to create a wonderful hoop. Look at those gorgeous hexies... I must say her hoop was my favourite from the photostream and I was secretly hooping it would come my way... so I couldn't hide my delight when I found it in my box yesterday. It was the most perfect birthday present. The girls noticed it and commented on how lovely it is, so I am glad Ivy embroidered my name on it... just in case! Thank you very much Ivy for a perfect great swap, I have been spoilt and the timing was so good to receive it on my birthday! Celine

Another lovely little swap on Flicker , another swap I couldn't resist of course. I had seen some beautiful hoops before (including in the Zakka quilt along) so I knew I NEEDED one too of course! Well my partner asked for bright colours so I thought a dark background with a funky tape measure fabric should work well.
