Christmas Blogger Swap

Earlier this year I took part in a blogger swap which was run by Char over at t*rexes and tiaras, when I  e-mailed Char I said it would be nice to have a partner in New Zealand or Australia to keep down the postage costs.

I got lucky this time around as I had a fellow Kiwi as my partner who is also into sewing! Kirsty from Tea and Rainbows.

Kirsty and I also follow each other on instagram so she totally had my likes down (and hopefully I had hers as well). I didn't take pictures of the things I sent to her because I'm hopeless, but here's all the goodies I recieved.

That big blue package? It's a couple of metres of this cute crocodile fabric complete with matching thread. The fabric reminds me of these lollies. I'm not totally sure what I will do with it yet - I'm thinking maybe a dirndl skirt? Any ideas?

 Next up is this toki doki unicorn blind box! The unicorn inside is just so damn cool - its kind of a unicorn tiger hybrid. It's now in our kitchen next to doughnut cat, a little bunny I bought in Japan town in San Fransisco and some kinder surprise toys because we are adults.

Next up is this package wrapped in Hello Kitty paper - its a Hello Kitty measuring tape! Two of my favorite things in one package!

Finally the kinder surprise egg - it came with something for kids, this bracelet which is too small for me (I mean really stuff only for kids what were they thinking). I might give the bracelet to Sophiia next time I see the family.
