One swap closes and another one opens...

Yesterday lovely Susan, swap mama of the Modern Christmas Table Runner Swap assigned to us our secret partners.  I know I've got lots to do, you've all seen the horrors of my list, but having received my partner I know this swap is going to be such fun!   I'm going to leave myself a week or so to get my plans in order - this is going to have to be good ;-)

Meanwhile, Cindy's Mug rug and Goodies Swap has come to a close, for me at least, as my parcels have arrived at their destinations, and I have received my second parcel!

Mug rug, zipper pouch and fabric lovelies!

Ah I'm so bad at doing the artful appreciative "isn't it a gorgeous package" photos - I tear them open the second they're in my hands...  Trust me, it was lovely, but the contents are even lovelier.   This bunch of goodies was made especially for me by the absolutely awesome Toni.   And wow, didn't she get it right?!  

Gorgeous mug rug in vibrant solids
Toni has seen how hooked I've become on solids since taking part in the For the love of solids swap!  One thing I admired most about peoples contributions in the FTLOS group was how confident they were with choosing colours to go together, and Toni has done a brilliant job with this one too.  Someone else I could learn a lot from!

And check this out in all its retro yumminess...  four things I love  -  Kitsch, 50's, Tea, and Michael Miller!  Thank you Toni!  I love it all :-)

    Fab package, with one of my Bee blocks this month I'm having to embrace solids - it's an interesting process :o)

    I'm in a wall hanging/table runner swap too and got to go out and get things for it this afternoon. It's a slightly esoteric design, so I hope the recipient likes it!

    I too love that mug rug! The pouch is great too, such a cute fabric in the centre.
