Floss Tag Exchange - What I Sent
This is the exchange I made for Ina (no blog) over on the Hooked on Exchanges blog.
The first floss tag is made with motifs from a Brenda Keyes book in my own choice of floss colours. I chose a tulip because Ina lives in Holland :o)
The second tag was also from an alphabet in a Brenda Keyes book, but much more modern in style, and trimmed with buttons.
The goodies included some stitching band, floss bobbins and rings, threads, a homemade card, and some scissors made in Sheffield, my home city. Sheffield is world famous for steel, but these days it is mainly specialist engineering steels that are made here, and very little in the way of cutlery and other blades.
Edited to add: for some reason, Blogger is cutting photos at odd places when I upload them from photobucket. I'm not sure how to fix it!

Lovely floss tag ring. I really must have a go at more of these in the New Year.
I love them! They are amazing!!! I have yet to make a floss ring, but I'm with Sally, I gotta get to it!
