Another Happy Mail day!

Yesterday afternoon, I received a parcel from  Nydia (the ADD-crafter) who was my secret Sew Sew Modern swap partner. She made a beautiful "Go Anywhere"  tote, along with a very cute stitched elephant mug rug (which I dont think I could use for fear of ruining it as I tend to spill my coffee often), some Spoonflower fabric and a print from one of my favourite designers, Valentina Ramos.
Nydia made the tote in some lovely grey Echo fabric teamed with navy denim and some mustard prints -  the piping and straps are in Bike Paths, and the inside is Field Study which all coordinate perfectly together. It is going to be such a great bag to use as I can fit so much in it and it looks so fabulous.
The stitched detail on the inside pocket of the bag is amazing - Nydia stitched one of the flowers from the grey Echo print in yellow. I think it is my favourite part of the bag - that she took the time to do something for the pocket that is so pretty.
Thank you so much for making all of these beautiful things for me Nydia - I feel totally spoilt.
And fingers crossed my package reaches it's new home soon too.
Kirsten.
