Sorry, I missed WIPW yesterday. Didn’t have all too much to share. Spent yesterday making swatches and trying to get gauge for my Amused sweater. Then I got as far as casting on. Hoping to get more done today.
A few months ago I signed up for a Christmas Card Swap over at Useless Beauty Designs. It was a nice small swap, just make one card and send it to the address assigned. I made a card at the beginning of the month and sent it out just a week or so ago. My recipient has gotten her card in the mail and will be blogging about it at some point today on her blog, knitterofhats speaks. I really can’t wait to read her blog post to see how she liked it! I also received a card in the mail a day or two ago. I have to say, I believe that this card is the card from the swap since I don’t recognized the name. But it did take me a while to figure it out. You would think that I would know a handmade card when I see one, but the fact that I couldn’t tell, should tell you what an excellent job Eileen did on her card. Unfortunately, I don’t know anymore than her real name! No Ravelry ID, no blog name. So once I can find out more, I will link to her blog!
I did enjoy the card you made for me. I have it up on a blog post. The card you got is indeed lovely. I hope you find out who made it for you.
I can see your confusion…it doesn’t look handmade, it looks too awesome!
Hi, as you can see this is Eileen. I am so happy you liked my card. Cardmaking is one of my many hobbies. I am retired so I have time to ‘play’ now. I dont have a blog at the moment as I wonder if I would have enough of any interest to write. I am considering it however and will let you know if I decide to try it.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, love Eileen.
