It’s OK to be a little jealous

I got my loot from my scrap & patchwork swap partner, Kim, of the spotted elephant. I couldn’t have picked a better assortment of scraps myself.

I mean, really. There’s an excellent span of reds, which I love, plus some vintage-looking pieces, some really excellent prints, and a great, GREAT little squirrel print. They’re all entirely to my taste. I’m hopping from foot to foot trying to decide what to make. Plus! She added a skein of handspun yarn, which I’m already swatching out. I’m thinking hat?

Whee! All in all, she made for a great first swap experience. Thanks, Kim!

I’m so glad you liked it! You woudln’t believe how nervous I was picking out the fabric - would she like this one? No….maybe this. I went to your Flickr account to try to get a feel for what you like but was still second guessing myself even as I sealed the envelope. I love everything you’ve created and its fun to get inspiration for future projects - I think I’ll try the dish towel!

Well! I think you did an excellent job. I wish you could have seen me smiling as I pored over the pieces. It’s nice to think someone out there really put some thought into this, and I appreciate it.

My only problem is that I have a tendency to hoard my favorite bits instead of using them in something. I’ll have a hard time thinking of a good project to spend those pieces on!
