Another biscornu flew the coop

I had finished my biscornu very early, then in digging through something else I realized I had completely forgotten the "don't use aida" in the guidelines, oooooppss. So I had to make another biscornu. But my 'not aida' biscornu flew the coop this morning and given that I'm praying I did everything else right this time, it should arrive soon.

(I posted a second scissor fob last week to my far away January Fob partner, so if you are still without a fob, hang in there!!)

Scissor Fob

Well, here is the scissor fob I've sent to my Secret Friend:

I've sent it on 13Th January, but I'm still hopping it arrives safely...

I've used 32ct white linen, thread Arc-en-Ciel by L'Atelier du Pic Vert and it's a freebie from Acerca del Bordado
;)

Mail Problems

I mailed my exchange out on Jan 13th. It is now past 6 weeks and apparently it has not yet arrived. I think it is time for me to 1) contact my partner 2) confirm the address and 3) make and mail a new piece. Opinions????

Thank you Lynn

Today I received my scissors fob from Lynn. It is beautiful, and it is really treasure (especially with this gold tread).

Lynn sent me also threads in pretty colour, my daughter admired – she planed what should I stitch :-)

Lynn thank you once more, and I am happy that I take party in this exchange.

Quick Reminders!

The Biscornu Exchange sign-ups will be ending very soon. If you are interested in this exchange please email me so I can get you added to the list. If you have already signed up, please check the Biscornu Exchange Participants list in the right sidebar of the blog to make sure I have entered your name on the list - I don't want to miss anyone.

If anyone has received their scissors fob and not posted about it here on the blog, please do so now. Please post a photo as well. If you are unable to post a photo, let me know and I will see if your sender can do so for you. I think at least a couple of the fobs may have been received but not yet acknowledged here on the blog although they may have notified the sender by email. I know everyone gets busy but we still have some anxious senders awaiting news that their packages have been delivered. Please don't forget to post the photos - that is half the fun and the part that everyone gets to enjoy - seeing the great variety of designs and finishes! As Monique S has said, it is Fobomania!

Thanks!

I just unpacked my scissors fob.....

....and it is beautiful. It was in the mail when I came home from work half an hour ago. I am going to post a picture later tonight. I just wanted to let you know because Gaby is already worrying...
I LOVE IT!!!

Scissor Fob for Jeanie

I heard from Jeanie that my exchange package for her arrived but her camera is being serviced so I'm uploading the photos I took before mailing. Maybe Jeanie can publish better ones when she gets her camera back!

I stitched the fob using the colors of the scissors and personalized the back with our initials and the year. It was fun stitching for you, Jeanie! I hope you'll enjoy your new scissors and fob!

I can't understand...

...because I was told in the post office that it will take 5 work days to arrive to destination!
There's a month past next 14th!!! Were is the fob I sent to my Secret Friend?!
I'm worried and really sad because I've make it carefully and pleasantly!

Scissors Fob from Jean

My scissors fob from Jean has arrived! It is soooo cute and I have a pair of scissors that will be a perfect match for it! This cute little Quaker Hedgehog design from the Workbasket has been on my "to do" list for quite a while so I am especially pleased to have it not only stitched but finished into my favorite thing - a scissors fob! Jean tells me this is the first fob she's ever made - I certainly hope it won't be her last because she did a great job on it - the button in the corner was a really nice touch, too! She also sent along a skein of Carrie's Creation hand dyed floss which I am already planning to use for an upcoming project! Thanks so much for everything, Jean - I just love it!!!

I got mail!!

I received my scissor fob from Nita in the mail today. It's absolutely beautiful!

A beautiful basket of flowers on one side and it's personalized with a "N" on the other side. She included a card and some Mill Hill beads, which have already been assigned a project :)

Thank you Nita!!!

Fantastic fob!

I received a package this morning with the most beautiful fob! It was from Karen in the US. The fob is absolutely lovely, delicately stitched over one with overdyed floss. And as you can see on the picture, I got the scissors as well!



I love the fob colours! They almost match the ones I chose to stitch my fob! Karen, how did you know?!




Thank you so much, Karen!

Fob received from Pokua in Perth WA!

Thank you so much, Pokua, I received your fob in the week of my birthday so it was extra special! I have a ton of photographs to upload to my blog so I will post a picture here tomorrow of your lovely gift!

Scissors Fob for Taija from Nicole

Taija received her beautiful fob from Nicole this week. She is having difficulty posting to the blog and asked me to post the photos for her. Great job Nicole!

Exchange Received

I got my scissor fob several days ago (limited internet, sorry for the delay) from Najima. I do not have the ability any more to post pictures, so if you have a picture, Najima, would you be willing to post it? It is beautiful, so small and dainty!! I love the idea of crocheting the hanger instead of just twisted floss, as well. My fob was sent on 1-23.

Thanks so much!! This was a fun exchange!! Life's a Stitch!! Cynthia

Thank You Sabine

Today I received my fob in the mail from Sabine in Belgium. There are 2 Sabine's in the member list so I'm not sure which one it is. The design she stitch is over one with overdyed threads. It is beautifully done and is gorgeous. She also sent me 2 skeins of overdyed floss.


Thank you Sabine!

Jill

Well I got the most beautiful fob today, can´t believe how perfect this is;-))) It came from Mel in Dubai and she used parts of a TW design, I am admiring her designs very much but hate to stitch them...thx soooo much Mel, I love it soo much...and my DH loved the stamps because he is collecting them, he can´t believe I got mail from Dubai*lol*
Hugs,

Gaby

Fob mailed!

Hello I'm just stopping by to let you know that I mailed my fob out today. I hope the recipient will like it :)

Fob Received from Amanda

Amanda's beautiful scissor fob arrived this morning! It's a strawberry shaped fob, I've been wanting one this shape but hadn't got round to making myself one so Amanda's is just perfect for me. The stitching is so tiny and precise, it's gorgeous. Also in the packet was a note card and two lengths of lovely ribbon that will be very useful to me. The amazing thing was that it only took three days to arrive here in the UK all the way from Italy. Thank you Amanda for a lovely exchange. Amanda was my partner so I hope she enjoyed receiving my fob too.

Ann

On it's way :)

I mailed my partner's fob out to her today via registered post. Hopefully it won't take too long!
