I received the most beautiful autumnal decorated envelope yesterday.  Thank you Hernibs, that alone must have taken you ages!

Contents are amazing too - so different from what I did myself.  I'll wait to post pics, especially as we've had a few more days of summer weather so the change of season can wait.


@Bogwoppit had her's ages ago. P'r'aps she's nodded orf!  0_0

Thank you for putting all the photos together @Iminei , it seems to be a bit hit or miss as to whether I can see the photos in the thread. They all look amazing and so creative.

@hernibs well done for persevering with the photo thing! It’s actually quite easy compared to some sites once you have done it a few times.

RJR38 I did, after Acorn told me how, understand the process but trying to post the two together didn't work....said there was an error - pics were too big I think....then went back and tried to make them smaller - augh - let's not go down that road anymore....Imi posted the ones she sent me so hopefully all is well with the world.  As I said your 'brown' leaf is much nicer in real life!!

On my other board they host a Christmas Ornament swap. It allows for huge variety dependent on peoples skills (knitting, crochet, felt ones, quilted ones etc). Do you think we should do one on here @Iminei? I don’t mind organising names etc if needed

@RGR_38, funny you should say that, I used to do a Crafty Secret Santa on another forum and I was going to suggest something similar
@Iminei whatcha reckon? I’m up for helping to host if you need it?

We already have a general TSP Secret Santa that we have held for the last two years, which of course can include homemade gifts, so I think Christmas is covered ..

However, as this swap has been so well received, I'm thinking of holding another Mug Rat Swap for the Spring Equinox!

If you like the idea, you can start thinking of designs now in preparation for it.

Here goes.

Sorry for the delay.  When I came to upload the picture I found my subscription had lapsed so hit a brick wall.  I don't do money things on the phone so this afternoon I set up the computer.

Image doesn't do justice to the sparkles on the fabric and gold highlights on the embelishments.  I think that I've used the little mat correctly.....
