Covert Robin - Mysteries Revealed

Back in February, I saw a post on 

imagine gnats blog 

about a mystery gift exchange.

I'd never done anything like that before and decided...

"why gnat?"

I just love any kind of a mystery.

Our 'mission' was to exchange something 'handmade'.

We were all assigned a special someone to gift to...

then the real fun began. 

Because this was "Covert" - I had to sneakie around my assigned special 'someones' blog,

gathering 'intel' - I wanted to make something she'd like.

 

Even tho my 'assignment' wouldn't know me from Eve...I thought this was a great time to break out those cool shades I'd won from Amy Bradley, I love a good disguise.

Of course....

that also meant...

someone... 

was keeping an

on me too!

Fun! 

(in a creepy fun kinda way).

Here were the guidelines:

1. make something handmade and lovely - 

I think I did...you'll see below

2. send your gift according to the time frames - 

check!

3. post about your gifts to enter for a chance to win! - 

Here it is :)

4. have fun :) - 

ABSOLUTELY!

Today I received a package from

My Covert Robin,

Stacy G in Waco,TX!

I was so excited to open up the box and find this....

Stacey!!!! Thank you so much...

it is Absolutely Beautiful!

I LOVE pillows...

and this one's all mine!

I've made a few for others...

but rarely ever keep any for myself...

in fact, I don't think I've EVER kept one just for me!

I LOVE the fabs!

Look at that Red Star...

I LOVE Red...how did you know?

Oh right...

LOL.

And if that wasn't exciting enough...

Stacy slipped another little something into the box...

The mysterious

"brown paper bag"

ooooeeeee

What could be inside...

It's a sensational little zippy bag!

I just adore little zippy bags!

And lookie look...there's a Robin!

Are you a clever gal or what Stacy G!!!

Thanks so much my new little 

Covert Feathered Friend!

Now I get to show ya'll what I made and sent to

MY special SOMEONE!

My new friend,

Suzan

the

Reluctant Quilter!

I had a blast wearing those sunglasses...

and stalking Suzan's blog.

She makes so many things...

and sells a lot thru her Etsy shop.

She likes a LOT of different fabrics

(my kinda gal)

First we'll start at "the end"...

I thought about including something sweet...

I know just about everyone loves chocolate...

but what if it melted?

To be on the safe side...

I 'sweetly' wrapped her goodies...

So what's hiding inside the gumdrops?

So glad you asked....

I decided to make Suzan some of my favorite little 

"must haves"

I have a little diddie bag filled with my needles, thimbles, needleholder, etc...

It goes everywhere with me.

I made one for Suzan along with a needleholder, and little flower pincushion

(whoa! if you've been following my blog...I JUST realized...

I finally FINISHED a pincushion - yey! How long have I been talking about these - since last fall at least! haha).

I have a special little tote made by a dear friend that I keep my little must haves in

so it was clear to me...Suzan needed a little tote too!

Suzan has received her package and wrote me a lovely email - she's also blogged about her giftee too - I'm glad she likes it! And yey...I can finally stop sneaking around her blog like a stalker!

Thanks to ALL the Covert Robin Gals for a Job well Done!
