Today I've received an e-mail and heard that my exchange things has safely arrived to the recipient, so I put some photos here!A few month ago, Yasmin and I had been talking about exchanging something in the near future, then finally the day of our exchange has came!
And I've heard that Yasmin love everything what I've stitched to her, so I'm very happy and it also made my day!
Actually there was no thema, we've only decided exchange small things.I like mattress pincushion which Yasmin have been stitching and making very much.
Actually we both wanted to do "mattress pincushion exchange", but I have never made it and I wasn't confident to exchange it with someone at all.
But, how greedy I am! I wanted to have her mattress pincushion very much (LOL), so I told about it to her, then she kindly said to me "You can make anything to me, As you like", it helped me a lot, LOL
By the way, this time I decided to make pinkeep for her, as I knew that she loves Ewe & Eye & Friends as much as I do, I've chosen "In The Pink" from EEF collection!I love EEF designs very much, too! This design is so cute as same as the others!
Special stitches were fun and I love this colour "Pink"!
Here are Pins which I've made by myself, some are cat's eye beads and some are metallic roses.
Here is the ribbon and top pearl pin which I also made by myself.This time I used Bordeaux colour velvet ribbon for this pinkeep, as I thought it matches for this season.
Here is the back of pinkeep and the fabric which I've chosen for this design!
Before when I've exchanged pinkeep with Su, I also added this wee pocket and I've heard a lot that people liked this wee pocket and said nice idea, so this time I added "wee pocket" to Yasmin's again!
Actually I didn't know "wee" means then, and asked Su "What is 'wee' means?"
She told me the meaning, so now I know how to use and the meaning but, before then I just knew the word "wee wee", so it made me really confused. LOL
By the way, here is also another small present to Yasmin that I've made.
It's "Needle Minder", inside this (under the pink flower), there is Super Magnet in it!
So pins are stick on it, so she doesn't loose pins when she change threads colours!
Actually I made this by jam jar lid!
If friends want to know how to make this "Needle Minder", I had taken photos of the process to make one, so I will post a tutorial page later!
Anyway, I'm so happy that Yasmin really loved them all what I've sent to her!
It was really fun to stitch along as thinking of her!

Yuko your stitching is so gorgeous! What a beautiful pinkeep you have made for your friend. I love how you make the pins yourself, and they make the pinkeep so special. I also love the "wee" pocket on the back.
I will look forward to your needle minder tutorial!
It is stunning...absolutely gorgeous!
Your pinkeep is beautiful! Lucky Yasmin!
Beautiful! Amazing stitching and finishing.
Wow Yuko, that is incredible, absolutely stunning and perfect finishing. Love your backing fabric. By the way, "wee" is a Scottish slang/colloquial term meaning "small" not used often in England. xx

Your handmade pins are very neat and just add to the piece :o)
Both gifts to Yasmin are a beauty.
Thank you for coming by my blog and leaving me your comments :D
Oh my goodness, Yuko, your stitching and finishing are exquisite. The EEF designs are so lovely. LOL about the wee versus wee-wee. Its confusing, but funny, when words like that come up when learning a foreign language. And thanks for visiting my blog.
what a great exchange, congratulations to you both !

Yuko,
Your gift to Yasmin is so pretty. I love EEF designs!! And the 'wee' pocket is absolutely lovely. I think this is YOUR speciality. Everything you make is so different and very beautiful. There is ALWAYS something special about what you make. I love the pins and the little pinkeeper. I will wait patiently for your tutorial - hmm, a jam jar lid - clever idea :>)
