I sent Rosey these little wooden blocks. They are from Shepherd's Bush and are stitched on perforated paper. It's been years since I've worked with perforated paper - I'd forgotten how much fun it is. The blocks are probably 1.5 inches square.....but Rosey will have to verify that, as I didn't measure them before packing them up for their journey. I'm going to claim this as my Smalls SAL for April - hosted by Heather at The Stitching Lotus.
Also included were some fabrics and flosses and a Stoney Creek pattern....notice the "home" theme?
Three RAKs are floating around the globe....I can hardly wait to hear from the party-goers their parcels have arrived so I can share!
OK - four more RAKs are completed and ready to be packed up.....just realized I need more padded envelopes.....looks like they will go out next week.
OH! and another thing - I'll be sharing my adventure in Singapore with Peranakan beading in my next post.
What a great RAK you put together for Rosy! I like those blocks; what a cool way for a finish. Enjoy your weekend!

Great choice for your second RAK. Rosey is such a lovely person and has a great blog. These little blocks are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteLovely little package there Kim! Have fun in Singapore!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet. I have even actually tried stitching on perforated paper, although I do have a Mill Hill Christmas kit on paper sitting in my stash. x
ReplyDeleteI have never played with perforated paper - always been afraid it would rip. I have some in my stash - somewhere - so I might just haul it out and give it a try. Wonderful RAK - I'm sure your friend was pretty happy when her mailman arrived!
ReplyDeleteThose little blocks are gorgeous, Kim. I haven't seen anything like that before. xx
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen anything like these wooden blocks before. Very cute
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gifts. Blocks are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThose little blocks are so cute and I've never heard about working with perforated paper before, I shall have to find out more about that. I do like the Home theme that you carried through the gifts, Rosey must be thrilled to bits with everything she received. It must be exciting for you seeing the RAKs winging their way around the world.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gift for dear Rosey, I am sure that she will love them immensely! Can't wait to read all about the Pernakan beading. hugs, SSF. xxx

ReplyDeleteKim, imagine my surprise to receive your parcel. Thank you so very much. You are most kind and generous! I have the perfect spot to hang up the framed stitched piece. And plans already for the fabric and floss. Thank you again.
