Inspiring Monday

This week I am sharing with you a gorgeous embroidery hoop I saw on Flickr.



This scrappy embroidery hoop is by Jednoiglec who blogs here.

Look at all the sweet details like the tiny buttons, the varying sizes of the hexagons, and the fussy cutting. Hope this inspires you as much as it does me!

I've Got a Crush for my Partner!

Well partner your Scrappy Hoops Swap will be in the mail tomorrow! I am so excited for you to get them and all the lil goodies I have included with them! Here's a sneaky peek! (Sorry for the lil paper on the right one - had to cover up the monogram!)

Scrappy {Hoops} Swap is here!

One of the swaps I am participating in on Flickr is the Scrappy {Hoops} Swap where you create a scrappy embroidery hoop for your partner and cross your fingers that you stalked them well enough to know their preferences and they will like it!

I haven't quite finished my hoop for my partner, but it should be mailed off by the end of the week.  I did get my swap package from Suzanne though this past weekend and could not be happier with it!  I LOVE IT!  It was adorable both on the outside and inside.



My hoop was tied up with pretty ribbon and some matryoska doll fabric covered buttons which I adore.  I am thinking I will attach them to some hair ties for when I put my hair up in pig tails.



I also got some adorable Sublime Stitching Cowgirl embroidery patterns and floss.



But the best part though was this - 'Rainy Daze' - an embroidery based off an illustration that her brother did.  I adore it!



All in all it was a fantastic experience thus far and I am loving participating in these swaps and getting these amazing gifts! And I hope other are loving the packages I am sending just as much I am!
