So, I've just done my second swap on Craftster.org, and it was my first swap where I had to craft something. It was the Aussie 2006 Xmas card with small gifts swap.
My partner chose an embroidered tote bag, but I had to cheat a little and get someone else to make the bag, so while I was waiting for that I made a little amigurumi birdie. Isn't it plump and cute?
So, as well as the bird, I embroidered the bag (that bit was all me) and then I had to send it off (I think that was the hardest bit). I guess the thing is though, that if I didn't want to keep the bag (and the bird), I wouldn't be happy with the job I'd done and I wouldn't want to send it off.
I also included some FruChocs (apparently they're only available in SA) and some x-rays (because I can get hold of them fairly easily, but most people can't) and it all went over very well. Yay!

I'm loving that amiguri bird, but I must say I really love that tree (is that an Irish knot style or something??)
Thanks very much! Yeah, it is an irish knot style tree of life. Most of the ones I found were more symmetrical, but I liked this one and thought it was a bit more tree-like!
