Once we start receiving our swaps then if you want we can put up pictures of the ones we sent and ones we received, but not beforehand. I like surprises, and its fun keeping it a secret till the very end .

Thank you for clarifying that for me. Can't wait to see the pics!

I have finished mine I drew a little design myself. It is the same front and back though as I couldn't get my username and details to fit i the square, I hope that's ok.

That will be ok megandmog ,just put it on a little card then and put all details on there

I have given the last 3 a little nudge via pm and hopefully they can finish on time so i can put the list out on the 16th and then we can all start posting to the person below us. I will give till the 16th early morning ( my time) to post new list up and if they are not done by then, then we will have to post without them, but i hope they can.

Actually, megandmog is done too. So that leaves two people.

Tinkerbella has not been heard from for quite some time and didn't send out her last exchange. So that probably leaves only one.

It might sound mean, but I'd be inclined to take Tinkerbella off the list to avoid another disappointment. I hope she's well and returns soon.

I have sent her an email to ask if she has finished but if she does not answer me by tomorrow afternoon ( as i will not get a chance tomorrow morning to do it) then she will be going off the list,,dont want to be mean, but i would like to be posting out on Wednesday if possible.

Ok here is the list, i hope you are all happy where you are sending to, and i am sorry if you have already sent to the person below you. Now for the people who have never done an exchange before , we pm the person below us, before we send off make sure you have taken a photo of what you are about to send then when you receive the new one take another photo and put both of them up.

I realised, after sending Charm a PM asking for her address, that I had sent some charts out to her very recently and still had the address - LOL! It's in the post now.

The post office lady said it will take anywhere from a week to two weeks for the mail to be delivered. As of now, it is on its way!

I got Kells this morning!! its just amazing (and puts mine to shame ) and some gorgeous thread! Thank you so much Kell its put a huge smile on my face this morning
I would also like to apologise that I haven't checked into the forum at all lately! and therefore totally forgot about the exchange, but luckly my biscornu is already stitched and I'll post it to bert tomorrow! I've been so busy lately, it was my daughters birthday on Saturday and my son's yesterday! also I started a new job last week and I've had to change my sons school so he started a new school last week. So i've had a lot of arranging to do! I'm looking forward to seeing everyones biscornus and I shall try and post a pic of Kells stunning biscornu a bit later on or tomorrow!
Also thanks Kell for the charts I recieved them last week and I did intend to messgae you to say they had arrived safe and sound but again totally forgot! so another big thank you for those!

Glad it arrived safely and that you like it. For those who want to see it, here's what it looks like:




It's stitched on 28-count evenweave from a polstitches grab bag 1 over 1 in an Anchor variegated floss.

That is a charming little biscornu, Kell! Well worth the wait to see.

Thanks for posting a photo kell But I have to say photos just doesn't do it justice! but then they never do, do they?
