Spitting Yarn

I’ve been meaning to post about the latest Christmas cards I received in the swap but a combinations of work horrors and a glitchy WordPress got in the way.  Apologies also if you have emailed me and there has been radio silence.  I’ll get to it soon – promise!

Purlpower’s cards arrived next and I loved them!

This one above is particularly lovely and made me long for a frost.  The one below is a rich, masculine card which will be great to send to a man.  I was also incredibly impressed to see that Purlpower (I think) made her own envelopes.  I’ve failed to photograph them, so you’ll just have to trust me that they are great!  [BTW: Go and send Purlpower some love, she's feeling poorly.] 

Parikha of The Brown Sheep’s cards arrived third.  I must apologise for the slightly ropey photography of these cards.  It’s so difficult to find good light in our gloomy British winter.  Parikha’s cards definitely had a sororal link to her sister’s cards (see previous post), which was lovely.

I liked the modern, festive colouring of the card above and the slick metallic, embossed stamps but I just loved Parikha’s second card…

Check out the uber-cute rudolph with a sparkly gem for a nose.  Here’s a close up so you can squeal as appropriate!

The Crafty Weasel and Manic Kitty also signed up for the swap and having seen a preview on ‘Weasel’s blog, I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the cards.
