Recently a dear friend and I did a skills swap. I made her this shawl.
Gratuitous second shot.
In return she used her mad jewelery making skills to make me this.
Sadly, my photography skills do not do it justice.
I’ve also been reconnecting with my sewing machine. This little guy was a gift for a birthday party Gorgeous Girl attended recently.
The denim is from a pair of Gorgeous Man’s jeans that grew holes far too quickly.
Lastly, this gorgeous handspun yarn
has been knitted into pieces and is being assembled into a bag for my good friend Lisa. I’m hoping we will get a chance to meet up when we are in Australia at the end of the year (she lives in a different state to where our families are, so it may take some coordination) and I can give it to her in person.
Oh, such lovely goodies. Love the elephant – he’s too cute!
Beautiful shawl & necklace! Love your elephant toy.
The shawl is so pretty, makes me itch to knit a shawl again soon,
Your necklace is so pretty too. There are bead shops here that tempt me to learn how to make such lovely things.
That lucky birthday kid is going to love that elephant! My aunt and grandma made me stuffed toys when I was a kid. My fave was a dog made from patchwork squares. I loved it literally to bits. It fell apart when I grew up
I LOVE my shawl!!! =)
That elephant is the best, ever!
A skills swap is a fantastic idea! Great shawl and necklace. I could see that kind of exchange because I have absolutely no beading skills.
A skills swap is a great idea. I love that little denim ellie!
