Autumn Equinox Mug Rug Swap

[Efemera]

@Efemera it's already arrived? I posted it on Monday and hoped or would arrive this week    I didn't expect it to be that fast! 

Hopefully you are not too disappointed 
And you like chocolate, don't you?

It’s lovely..and the chocolate didn’t last long!

Finished and will be sending tomorrow. As it is going quite a long way, I hope it will arrive in time. Post can take a long time or no time at all, it really depends on how lucky you are. I have sent letters to the UK which have arrived within five days, and others which have taken three weeks - and this is not dependant on the time of year - just a matter of luck!

I hope my swapee likes it - I certainly enjoyed making, and I tried a new technique, which was fun. Perfect it ain't, but I like it, so hopefully...

I am panicking, all these people who have finished their Mug Rugs, I am only just starting, the first one has been shelved as not right, I think I could write a comedy sketch about what went wrong if I could stop crying .  so I will be on mark2 this weekend I hope.

[Kenora]

Don't worry @Celia - I'm still working on mine. I had to scrap my first one too as it just didn't look right.

Well after seeing Sakars one. It's gorgeous and mine is not nearly so decorative    Wondering now what to do

There is still over a week to go, you have time to rethink

I have no doubt it will be lovely (and have fewer mistakes than mine.)

[Iminei]

Ladies, ladies, ladies ....

Stop Panicking!

Keep Calm and sew on ... This is meant to be fun and easy!

And remember you can bring your favourite technique to this swap.... or learn a new one!

Posted mine today.....I thought it was a straight swap, I’ve put nothing in with mine so they won’t know who it’s from 
Oh yes they will!!! 
Mine arrived this morning. No postmark, no note, no nuthin! But I recognised the writing didn't I? Ha! Thanks @Efemera they are absolutely gorgeous and beautifully finished.  I'd looked at that shape and decided it was too difficult. 
They're perfect.
And yes I'll post pics later before you all start. 

[Kenora]

@Iminei - it's fun but it's definitely not easy - all those teeny tiny little pieces.

“Posted mine today.....I thought it was a straight swap, I’ve put nothing in with mine so they won’t know who it’s from”


Me too @Efemera , but luckily(?) I put a card in to own up to who’d sent them! Makes it more interesting, I supppose, if it’s not a straight swap.

[Iminei]

Yes you're right,  Its a straight swap ...

bribes errm Gifts are at your own discretion.

[Sheilago]

I think @Iminei, what Efemera meant was that you don’t get a mug rug from the person you sent yours to.

If I’m right, Efemera got one from Sakar, but Efemera’s has gone to Wrenkins

[Iminei]

Yes you've all got different partners, drawn by Puzzler in the interests of fairness ...
