Ebony's Trades

I am a bit late in posting these on my blog but here goes anyway.
The first ATC was from Val who enclosed this one for Ebony in the parcel that she sent to me.
It is beautiful Val and Ebony loves it.





The next one is from Claudia who is about the same age as Ebony and she does beautiful stitching--just look at the blanked stitch edge on this.
Ebony thinks that Claudia is very clever and so do I.




This is the one that Ebony sent to Claudia--no stitching on this as she is a bit off stitching at present--more into paper art stuff.
The background is a piece of scrapbook paper and she has embellished it using some of the lovely pieces that people keep sending her.

She is one happy girl

ATC's from Ati

Yesterday these two lovely ATC's arrived from Ati in Norway.
The one on the left is for Ebony and the one on the right is for me.
It has been a lot of fun for Ebony and I to swap with my blogging friends together.
Thank you Ati we both love our ATC's very much.

Ebony's finished ATC's

Ebony finished the stitching on her ATC over the weekend and they are ready to be sent out to her swap partners.
I must let you know that I tried to influence her in the stitching but was told in no uncertain manner "Nanny I know what I am doing I am going to put flowers on them" so I left her to it.
I had also given her some beads for the centre of the flowers and I could hear her complaining in no uncertain terms about not wanting to do it because it wasn't working.
When I checked she was trying to stitch the beads on with the chenille needle that she had used to stitch the flowers with.
After giving her the correct needle and thread she was happy again and finished the beading.
These are going to ------------
