Happy Friday + SVE plans

January 26, 2018

Happy Friday, friends! I’m guessing that most Secret Valentine Exchange folks are following #2018sve on Instagram and are probably not checking ye olde blog posts much, but thought I’d do a little update.

This year my partner lives in the US, so that gives me a little extra time to work on her gift. I’ve been poring over my fabric stash, trying to find something that feels just right. Above are a few contenders. So pretty aren’t they?

Are you playing or following along with the SVE goodness? It’s incredibly inspiring and I’m coveting the sneak peek projects I’m seeing on IG.

I hope I’m not jinxing anything by writing this, but this has been the smoothest year by far. Ute and I have been floored by all the people totally on top of their game and shipping packages out super early. Awesome. I better get crackin’ too!

I’ll be back with more updates soon. Have a lovely weekend!!

    Thanks to you and Ute for facilitating the 2018 SVE. All of the sneak peeks are intriguing.
