Super Swopsies

You may remember that I and the Equally Lovely Denise (The Lovely Laura’s Mum) had agreed to do a swop …… I had a overwhelming desire for some bright crocheted cushion covers, as I had decided to embrace colour to add a certain je ne sais pas to my largely magnolia rooms……. and Denise rather fancied a FiddleFart work of art!!!!!!……
Bright flower and bird paintingWell,  just before Christmas we arranged the “grand hand over” …. oh my goodness, WHAT a swop! as I opened Denise’s parcel the whoops of delight just got louder and louder, not only from me but also from My Lucy ….. as each cover was revealed in all it’s glory,

I just can’t tell you how thrilled I am ……
crochet cushion 1 - Copy…… or how jealous Lucy was …..

…. and the backs are just as beautiful, made from a variety of cotton floral prints.
What a brilliant, brilliant swop, and I sigh every time I go into my lounge, because it looks so beautiful and bright!

    And myself and the Ever Patient Ken are equally thrilled with the painting, which has pride of place in our living room. Long live 'craft trading'! ELD x

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
