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.
