Craft Swap Goodies

So last week, I received my craft swap goodies from my swap partner, Jessica. I have to say that I absolutely love everything that she made me! I had been wanting to make this exact pincushion for me (because somehow, I still don’t own a pin holder), but I’m not very good at making sewing items for myself, so it kept getting put off and put off. . . until I received this one as a gift! It will be well used with such cute little pins. The jewelry is great – I love turquoise and coral (I think it’s coral!) and tissues are pretty much a necessity in the allergy laden hills of Austin, so the tissue holder is super fun and appropriate. And of course, the cup holder – how cute is the embroidered ‘e’ on that! I can’t wait to use it at work. I’m pretty sure my coworkers will all be jealous! So thanks Jessica, for a great first swap experience!

    I am definitely a tea/chai/hot cocoa drinker with an occasional coffee thrown in there for good measure. :)
