I just heard that
Mylene received my SBEBB Spring House and Garden Exchange for her today. We were partnered up together for this exchange (I have a sneaky feeling we were all paired up for this exchange, as opposed to the usual pattern of you get from one person, but send to another - and this was a fun change). I was thrilled to get Mylene's name, and I set right to making her a pretty trinket box... but I miscalculated a wee bit. I thought the design would fit closer to the edges of the box, leaving a crease in the lugana that I did not think was going to show (top of design)... I hope this adds to the charm of it being homemade ;-)

And... the rest of the goodies for her.... glad you enjoyed it Mylene ;-)
I am off to quietly stitch on a gift for someone special that I hope will not be late for her birthday, but probably will be....

What a beautiful box! And filled with such lovely goodies. I love the personalised design you stitched. I think every finish I've ever done has had a 'slight miscalculation, lol!

Oh Carol, I love it! What a gorgeous box! Lucky Mylene.
A gorgeous box and another wonderful exchange Carol!
Love the ornament you made Isa, I really like that pattern. And what a perfect way to fit her name into the design.
The box is gorgeous, and of course the crease in the fabric, which I can't see, just adds to its' character.
What a beautiful box, Carol! Another great exchange! :)
It looks lovely...you just inspired me for a couple things I'm planning!
