Not only did I get my Spring exchange in the mail today, but it turned out that Chiara stitched it for me! Yesterday I posted a photo of my gifts for her, and today I get to show you hers to me! I was so excited to see the envelope waiting for me when I arrived home, and then I noticed the postmark from Italy! She made me the most beautiful cover for a photo album. The designs are by Bent Creek, and it is paired with the sweetest spring fabric! I just love it! Honestly I have never even thought of making a bookcover as I am so terrible with my sewing machine! I am a little afraid of it, so I am always in awe of people who can make these sorts of things--and it is just perfect! Thank you, Chiara, I love it! She spoiled me further by sending along some lovely spring colored overdyed floss, a darling Just Nan peacock charm (how fitting for my Peacock Feather blog!), which I will surely use on some project, and also a lovely bookmark (she obviously knows my other great hobby is reading!). This is a perfect way to start the weekend! Grazie!
