Finished Objects!

I am really dying to post my FO's but I can't. Why do I hear you ask? I'm currently making items for the U.K. Swap and I don't want to give anything away. You see people might be stalking. :0 I usually send items away to my swapee and I forget to take photos. :( Very bad. Not this time. I've been taking photos as I go along. :) Just have one more week to go then I can post piccies

Lotus
