OK! so I sealed the parcel and.....

.........forgot to put a hello note in to say what was what and from yours truly!

This means of course that the recipient ,my first swap partner that I choose to send to for the Grand Tea Swap hosted by Lucy at Lucy in the Sky, is about to receive a parcel from Spain or may have done so already because I sent it to the UK last Monday, with some goodies from an inconsiderate ME who forgot to put in a note being in too much of a hurry to get the parcel to the post office.

Now said recipient may wonder why they have received a sachet of BAY LEAVES in the swap parcel.

 I would have explained this in THE forgotten note of course.
There is a very simple reason because they are grown here in the province of Alicante ;in a small town called Novelda.

 I have decided that from now all my swaps or giveaways must contain something typical from this area of Spain and no I do not mean castanets,flamenco dolls or small black bulls!
So watch out peeps for some rather out of the ordinary bits in my parcels other than the normal makes or craft supplies.

My Puff or footstool cover is growing , albeit at a rather slow pace but to keep me crochet happy I need to do some distraction makes and here you have another .......distraction Nº 3!

 I found the pattern on  this blog here.
 I would like to give the blogger a mention but I can't find the name of the blogger however the pattern is in pdf format and is very clear and easy to follow.

 I used a 2.50 Aero hook and SMC Coats Catania Cotton in green,brown and yellow.
The mini pot is from Agost the pottery village.
 I bought two little pots;dropped one and it smashed to smithereens.
I won't repeat what I said at the time!



Tomorrow is MONDAY and I like MONDAYS....I really do!!!
I'm ready to take on the world again after replenishing my batteries over the weekend  :-)


Keep well

Amanda :-)
