Today was a banner day for mail chez belleepoque! Inside the first thrilling envelope:

The super exciting Hilary Lang/Wee Wonderfuls hand sewing for fun pattern cards! I knew these would be coming, so I kept some felt in my little bag of crafty tricks. I can’t wait to get started on one of them, I just have to decide which!
In the second package? The amazing treats from Bethany’s handprinted fabric swap.

Isn’t it all amazing? The sweet hedgehogs come from Wilson Watercolors, the lovely, bright frogs from Pasha Plum, the pears from Mimi Kirchner, cool potato masher/jar lid print on gorgeous green cotton from Dancing Crow Designs, beautiful faces and words on rich red from Fairbanks Fancy Goods, a lily screen print from Bee Creative, deep red with carved wooden stamps from Linda, and a special treat of art nouveau wisteria printed red from Bethany herself, the swap genie! Thank you so much, Bethany, for planning this swap. And thank you also to the makers of the wonderful fabric I received! It is all so beautiful, I can’t wait for the perfect project for each piece.
