A zip pouch

Zip pouch swap
Well back here I gave a hint of what I was working on. But I could not reveal it as it was being sent as a part of a swap. I have never participated in any of the craft swaps before and loved doing this. This is what I made and sent off with NZ Chocolates inside.

It was organised by Ros from Sew Delicious and it was to be a secret, who you got etc. But finally Julia has emailed me to say that she is munching her way through the chocolate and fending off her husband.

I got a lovely set of pouches and other amazing goodies from my swap partner - see here.

As you can see from all the Christmas presents I have been practicing several different types of pouches and really enjoying doing them. A good quick project.

A wide mouth end ( so it opens right up)

Zip Pouch Swap

I got an amazing pressie in the mail. This is the first time I have participated in a swap with other bloggers. I loved it. It was organised by Ros from Sew Delicious.

I sent mine off - you can see what I made here. And I got the most amazing parcel from my swap person. Two zip pouches!! embroidered pillowcases, chocolate - WOW. Some of the sweets I had never heard of before - really interesting.

A gorgeous break in Rarotonga

Woo hoo, A holiday with no kids for 11 days. Bliss, relaxing and warm! BTW it was an early 20th wedding anniversary present to ourselves....
