Journal swap.....part 2

 This is the beautiful journal I received from Naomi at http://beeshebags.blogspot.com/ didn't she do a lovely job?

When you open the journal the practicle side is revealed,two styles of notepads and a section built in to hold my pen.....fantastic idea  Naomi and to top it off she winged the pattern and made it as she went!I LOVE IT !!!! Thanks Naomi for being my swap partne and thanks Cheryll for hosting this swap,I've really enjoyed it.

Journal swap.....

 I can finally show a photo of the journal I made for Elaine.I chose a Bronwyn Hayes stitchery for the front of the journal then jazzed it up a bit with a bag of caramel centered easter eggs as well as some sticky tabs and a matching blue pen.I had lots of fun making this journal for Elaine and to hear she's happy with it makes me happy :) Thanks for being my swap partner in this swap Elaine,maybe we'll be able to swap again another time :)

I also bought myself this yummy,soft wool for a scarf and guess what??? This scarf is going to be for little old me! I'm finally making something for myself,will show you a pic when it's done :)

Two finishes,two starts and FNSI results.....

 Two flurry scarves finished and two started.....

Result of FNSI.....one ball knitted two to go :) Not as much done this Friday night as I have a uni assignment due next Wednesday and that's taking up a lot of my time :(

March finish for OPAM.....

 I finally finished putting this circle cushion together,it's only been hanging around a few weeks lol....

I decided three are just as easy to put together as one  but ran out of bobble trim so a trip to spottie tomorrow and then hopefully two more finishes.
