The Summer Swap

It's June, swap month with the On Line Mini Club. This year there are just 4 people who decided to join. Together, we have decided to make each a swap for the other three ladies.
Yesterday evening we did unpack the swaps we did receive. We were spoiled rotten.

The gifts from Roelie.
A trompet and a classic head, Mozart I think. Both for my type case project. Paula suggested to give Mozart an eyepatch. A great idea that I'm definitely perform.
The cup and saucer and the lamp is for a project we are going to do together in October.

Bunny I can use anywhere. And the plant will probably   get a spot into the Bickersgracht. This is made in half-scale.





A half scale, years 50. bookcase complete made of paper. Kitty used the Silhouette Cameo to make this bookcase.
And she made 3 sizes of hat boxes.



Paula made this leather suitcase. Complete with lockable straps and a beautiful lining.
Girls you spoiled me with all these beautiful gifts. Thank you very much.


This is what I gave them:

For Roelie it was quite easily. She  inquired a while ago to the flower boxes I make. She wants to hang them in the windows of her flower shop.
Further I did crochet a shopping bag. The bag is filled with some grocery.


Kitty and Paula made it harder for me. I had no clue what to make for them. Till I saw on the internet, thanks Dominique for sharing this workshop how to make an iron out of plastic parts. Busy with the iron I tought that an realy electrical cord and a plug would look good to it. This is the outcome 
I could not resist also to make an original box.

Because Kitty and Paula do enjoy the toy shop theme I also gave them a 'really authentic' Marker Brothers Ping Pong-set. It's an early 1900's game.

This is how the set looks like. 
A complete original box with certificate of original, the Ping-Pong laws from that time, two table tennis bats, table clamps and even the table tennis net looks scatheless. I almost forgot to mention there are even the 4 original table tennis balls in the box.

I really do hope they like it,
Krin
