Pencil Case & A Great Swap

I needed a new bigger pencil case for all my stuff when we were going to our new little studio at my A.'s countryside.. so I sewed one.. And I have to admit I love it!

I can't stop admiring these two dotty fabrics.. they have such wonderful colours!

And canvas.. I love canvas for as long as I can remember! But I can't find anywhere here the perfect one. I buy a lot of it at the Grunwald Festival every year.. maybe you know where to find a nice stiff canvas? If yes - please tell me!

The interior is made of a nice fabric I found lastmonth.. it's so cheerful!

Oh and as you can see I still have problems sometimes with sewing zippers..

I have no idea what I'm making wrong!

And now something about a lovely swap.. I received a package from Paula on Monday! 

Look what treasures I found in it and how precise they are.. wow!

I didn't think she will send me so many things! I love everything!

I always admired her pillow cases, but this little purse is also amazing!

Thank you soooo much Paula! Now I have to think hard what to make for you ha!

We, bloggers, live in a different world I think.. Last time at school I discovered that people in my age don't really receive nothing except bills from the post office..! I was like.. 'WHAT?' ;o I receive a package every week! With letters, swaps etc. etc!' And it is so normal for me. When I was little I was dreaming about a full letter box.. and now I have it! Swaps and just sending people some surprises in the mail is great.. I have no idea, I just can't understand why people like e-mails more.. empty ugly e-mails.. eeek!

Good that we bloggers support this beautiful tradition..!
