In case you’ve been waiting and wondering, this is what my crochet cushion now looks like:
It’s got a fabric back (I actually made a cushion cover out of fabric, with solid blue on the front, and then hand-stitched the crochet panel into place). Neither of these cushions has a place of its own, but I just enjoyed making them, and perhaps they’ll have an official spot one day.
When I’m expecting packages, I often give people my work address, because I’ve had packages go missing when nobody’s been around to collect them at home. It’s always a very big treat when something arrives in the middle of my work day, especially when it’s as fabulous as this package from Gisela:
I’ve taken a truly uninspired photo of everything here, but you should really visit Gisela’s site to see how beautiful her items are. I came across her site a while ago and have been smitten with her style ever since. It’s a wonderful combination of quite ‘earthy’ materials/bold stitches with a lovely whimsy in the final product. I’m definitely a big fan, and I’m so happy to have pieces of my very own!
I’m sending out my package for Gisela tomorrow (always late when it comes to post!), and I hope she likes everything I’ve put together for her. The best trades leave both parties feeling like they’ve got the better end of the deal!
These are such lovely trades.
Thanks for the link to her website, I’ll go check it out! 
Anna, your pillow looks great – like waves on the ocean! By the way, I me-me’d you if you would like to participate. Have a great weekend!
Ohhh pretty parcel. I often get my stuff sent to work as well. Helps me get through the day.
Cute cushion too! I wish I could whip up stuff as quickly as you ladies seem to!
What pretty photos. Your pillow is just great, and looks so beautiful with the log cabin one. Love ‘em.
