Swappy Shindigs!

Hello there!
How has your weekend been? While the boys in our house were busy yesterday morning at rugby & rowing, I had a lovely time sewing away in my wee corner listening to Coldplay...it was wonderful! Hopefully I'll get the projects finished tomorrow so I'll have something to show you then.
We're only two weeks into January & I was wondering, how many of you have signed up for a swap or a quilt along? There are some great ones like the Swoon Along or the Sew Red Blog Hop. The first swap for me this year is going to be Mouthy Stitches which is going to be great craic! The theme is for a zipped pouch & there are 90 of us poised & ready, just waiting to hear who are partners are! Here is my inspiration mosaic:

Last year I really enjoyed taking part in some swaps & here are some of the gorgeous pouches I was lucky enough to receive:

I love swaps - they're great fun & such a wonderful way to meet folk. Its so nice too to have something that someone has made, just for you... like this table runner I got this week from my Sew Happy Geek Table Runner swap partner:

Doesn't it look perfect on our kitchen table!
We'll I'm off now to stitch some hexies & watch some Sunday night TV with the rest of the Hamilton household...Hope you all have a lovely evening!
Take care

    Love the mosaic. As an ex-rower though, all I can say is that inside in the warm was the place to be lol
