Roll up, roll up...

OK so if you are in the states you are freezing cold and if you are in the UK you are soaking wet right? So I thought we should all cheer ourselves up with a swap and here's how it works.

The theme of the swap is pins/brooches/embellishments etc, you know the ones, the ones that we wear on our coats, hats or handbags that strangers in the street say 'ooh that's nice, where did you get it?'

If you want to make a brooch pin to swap and receive one yourself enter your name in the comments below and I will pair people up in one weeks time on the 28th February. You can share this post on your blogs too if you like.
To give us lots of time, we will send our creations before or around the 14th March. 


If you are feeling a bit nervous, play to your strengths - it could be felted, sewn, crocheted, knitted, collage, beads, buttons anything you like as long as it cheers us all up and speeds us on into Spring.
Roll up, roll up are you in?
Jo xxx

    This sounds like fun, Jo - I always get compliments when I wear the little zippy brooch you made me :-) I'd love to take part, but will be away on holiday for most of March so at the risk of being awkward, could I still take part but perhaps make arrangements to post either before I go or once I get back? And you know me, I won't be offended if you tell me to get lost ;-) Love Gilly xx
