Swapping little bits of goodness

Recently I discovered a wonderful handmade swap group ~ Bits of Goodness, and I am so glad I did! 

When you join a swap, you create 5 items (plus a gift for the swap organiser) ~ and you receive 5 beautiful items in return 🙂 And wonderfully, all items are made with natural materials, and a lot of love ❤

  ~ my heart gnomes ~ 

So appropriately, my first swap was for Valentine’s. My creations were heart gnomes that were sent off with little felted hearts. 

And a few weeks later I received a lovely parcel containing…

~ made by Samantha ~
~ made by Hope ~
~ made by Sarah ~
~ made by Julie Ann ~
~ made by Teah ~

Thank you lovely crafty mamas! And Bits of Goodness!!

A new toy (*ahem* tool) ~ and crafting on

A scroll saw has been on my wish list since I found out about them (which admittedly isn’t that long!).

Fairy doors in progress…

So when my cabinet maker brother-in-law visited recently I asked if, by chance, he had one. And – big smile – he does! And – even bigger smile – he has lent it to me!

So, my crafting to-do list already had lots of fairy doors and gnomes (that I was going to use a jigsaw for)…

More and more…

…but with the wonderful scroll saw there are so many more possibilities. I’ve now added trees and a couple of other ideas to that to-do list 🙂

Trees!

And 3 broken blades later I am getting the feel for it and loving every minute! Joining in with Nicole at Frontier Dreams for Crafting On 🙂

Happy crafting, Kelly
