PIF

I'm home from Nairobi and one of my first stops once home was to pick up my beautifully wrapped PIF from the post office. This lovely set of herb markers from Helouise of My Imperfect Garden. I worked with this talented lady quite a few years ago and know how creative she is so I must admit I knew I was in for a treat when I commented on her PIF. Many thanks Helouise, the herb markers are lovely! I'm so impressed by the decorative detail. I'll shoot them in context soon and they'll definitely spruce up my herb pots.

PIF

A pile of winter scarves, ready to dispatch. Finally. This PIF gave me a great excuse to crochet my way through some cold winter evenings. I am not that adept so I had to make something simple: what could be more simple than scarves? And I managed it in under 365 days! I hope the recipients like them.

"I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog."

I've come across this PIF concept a few times, most recently on Helouise's blog - my imperfect garden

I couldn't resist being one of those to leave a comment - she's someone whose handmade creation is bound to be great.

So although I'm convinced no one but my family reads this blog - now it's my turn and the invitation is extended to YOU.

Perhaps a piece of embroidery, perhaps a handmade scented candle...I'll think of something. I'll do my best to make it worth your while : )
