I think it's time to round up the toadstool swap. Here is just a small selection of the lovely things that were made...
(can you spot the tiny mouse?!)
I wish I could show more, but it's taken forever and a day just to build that mosaic, you can see more in the Flickr toadstool swap group pool. If you are still to receive your swap toadstool, you are in good company, mine hasn't arrived yet either, but I did get this in the post...
(look at that amazing stitching, it's so neat)
It's from Louise at Prairie Mouse, and it's beautiful!
Thank you for all the lovely comments for the cotton reels, I won't be posting a tutorial for those just yet, I have other plans for them. But don't worry, there will be plenty more tutorials coming up, I'm certain, one day, there is a craft book inside me just bursting to come out!
Well, I'm going to take a couple of days off, it's my birthday tomorrow and I will be...
a 38 year old, shopping, eating take away and in denial that I'm one step closer to the big 4 0!

I loved this swap and the photos of the other toadstolls are gorgeous! Sorry to say I gave up trying to get mine onto flickr as it wasn't playing nice!
Happy Birthday and just rejoice in the fact that you're still the right side of 40!!
