Crafting It Forward... At Last!

I am not going to look back at the exact date for shame, but last year I jumped at the chance to receive a Craft It Forward gift from Charlotte.  She treated me to some gorgeous fancy chocolate mularky, and in return I put out the call for 5 bloggy types to receive a gift from me.  In return for doing likewise, when they receive from me, they will blog, make, and so on and so forth, sharing the love ad infinitum.

So with 365 days to honour my side of the deal, I kept a 'CiF' entry on every month's To Do list that I wrote this year.  I even showed you progress at the end of the summer when I added them to my Q4 FAL list; so now, with a clear(ish) conscience, I can show you the finished pressies...

These should be landing on doorsteps of the surprised victims recipients, who I'm sure must have given up all hope, and been too polite to ask...

Just in case you like to know the details of these things, these needle books were inspired by some that I coveted over at Krista's, and all were made with Liberty 1/2" hexies, Essex Yarn-dyed linen in Denim, lined with Alison Glass' Sun Print Text, and felt from Eternal Maker.  Everything was pieced and stitched in Aurifil 50wt.  There's a handy clip for scissors, or to attach to a zippy pouch, and I think they measure up at about 4" square when closed.

I added some chocolate and a small button badge to try to get me back in the good books, and the postmaster popped Christmas stamps on the UK ones, so it even looks, for all intense and purposes like they are early!

I will link back to the recipient's CiF posts, so you may get lucky and be on the receiving end of their crafty generosity some time soon.

Linking up now with Liz, even though it's not Thursday.

Right, back to the next thing on the list xxx

Craft It Forward...

Look what arrived for me today...

I had completely forgotten that I was lucky enough to get into Charlotte's Craft It Forward group, so this was a wonderful surprise and went down very well with me and all the ill people in the house right now!

(Don't ask, but let's just say the fear of impending debilitation is making me shift into warp speed, I am planning on being ready for Christmas by this time tomorrow!).

The chocolate-peppermint lovelies probably won't last the week night!  Thank you Charlotte, you are a splendid choco-genius xxx

I am sure you are waiting to see how you can be in on the Craft It Forward action!

The rules are simple...
The first 5 interested people with blogs to comment below, will receive something handmade from me in the next 12 months.  Simple.
When those 5 receive their goodies, they must blog about it and then repeat the offer, ad infinitum.

No reply bloggers are welcome but MUST leave an email address in their comments, (NB.if you regularly leave comments on my blog, and do not receive replies from me, then that'll be you then!).

Please don't make me ask twice!  And don't expect anything edible from me either, I use the kitchen for basting quilts and pressing seams ;)

***Edited to say - I am off to work, but seems like there is one place left if you are interested***
