I remembered to take a photo of the entire exchange before it left here... along with the fob, I sent Ina a pair of Mundial gold lion's tail scissors, a half yard of fabric, a small HIH chart, and a Mill Hill bead kit (I saw in her profile on Crazy Exchange that she likes autumn themes). I am glad you said you liked the exchange, Ina. I had great fun putting it together. Enjoy!!
I got mail today too :-) I received this lovely PIF from Joanne. She sent me a pinkeep using a By the Bay Needleart chart that I have long loved, and it is so nicely put together. And.. wow, Joanne! She also sent fabric with the names of flowers on it (she must know I love gardening) and two skeins of yummy Milady's Teal floss by Crescent Colours. I feel very spoiled! I see your name is coming up soon on my PIF list too, Joanne :-) I hope I can send you a package you will enjoy as much as I am enjoying this one. Thank you so much!!
I was so happy to learn that I am not the only one who is disappointed with the novel, Atonement. I saw clips of the movie on You Tube today, and they do look more appealing than is the novel (how rare is that?). I do like most of the characters, but I just cannot get into overly dramatic little Briony. She is more personality disordered than cute - LOL. Oh well. I will probably watch the movie on cable someday, and I will finish the novel. I never leave a novel unfinished.
I am blogging early. I feel cold today, although it is 40F. I am going to relax, do my treadmill... all the usual stuff... then see if I can get more done on my new Crazy Exchange project...

Great exchange that you received! I'm stitching a Quaker Hornbook in Milady's Teal right now and you're right, it is very yummy!
Great Exchange, and a lovely PIF! I really like both of them.
I chuckled when reading the tail end of your post -- it was 40 degrees here in MN today, but we thought we were having a heat wave! I guess it just depends on one's perspective. LOL
Lovely gifts both sent and received!
Love the fob you did. Your's are always such fantastic gifts.
Beautiful work. I am the same way about reading. Even if I don't like the book, I have to finish it.
hey Carol - did you get my email?
Lovely items, Carol. You surely do know how to send a great exchange, and how nice for you to recive a surprise in the mail also!
It got to 40* here also, but, here I sit all bundled up! I can't seem to stay warm... it must be the damp and wind. Seems colder than when it was 4* last week!
Hugs & Stitches...
I love the pinkeep you received as a PIF! I'll need to figure out what chart it is.
The fob you sent out is gorgeous, as usual.
Fantastic fob exchange Carol! And you've received a great pinkeep...I have that pattern somewhere...
I haven't read Atonement, but liken your feelings for it, to mine for Wuthering Heights. My views on it are so contrary to most, but I don't find obsession like that to be romantic. Guess it's my practical nature. In fact, when my oldest dd was a young teen I wouldn't allow her to read it until she was older. :D
What a lovely exchange and a pretty PIF gift you got too. :)
Sometimes the mails do go a bit wonky, don't they? Glad it arrived - it's lovely!
Yet another beautiful fob, my friend :) And that PIF from Joanne is beautiful. Visual candy as always :D
I love the pin keep that you got and what perfect fabric she sent you. I know you'll find something to do with it. :)
You always find such perfect patterns for fob's I don't know how you do it.
I haven't read Atonement yet but I have seen the movie and it it, without a doubt, one of my favorite movies.
Great exchange and PIF, congratulations
Lovely exchange. Your fob is so pretty. The pinkeep is sweet.
Great exchanges Carol. I like your little Angel freebie too. xx
What a cute fob! And the exchange package you received looks terrific - I'm sure you'll have great fun with it. :)
Sorry about the novel - hopefully it will get better. :)
The fob that you sent out is so pretty!! I love all the things you got in the mail as well. I am behind on blogging as usual but not to be forgotten. 40 degree weather is what we had one week and I am just not used to it but I bet it feels like a heatwave where you are. I guess we need better windows to keep warm here without the electric bill going wild. Good stitching weather though. Debby :)
Great exchange! The PIF is pretty lovely too:)
What a pretty fob! Thanks for hosting the exchange, it's been fun :-)
Lovely exchange and PIF.
Both exchanges are fantastic Carol!!!
Gorgeous PIF! I may not always say it-but your fobs are always wonderful!
Beautiful exchanges! I love the By the Bay pinkeep - so cute!
