My partner received awhile ago but hasn't posted her cushion as of yet.  I hope she doesn't mind that I've put up for her.  Her fav colors are pink white and black.  I wanted to make a "springy" themed cushion, and couldn't figure out how best to work the black in.  I hope she liked it!

After some silly camera battery issues, I'm finally getting to post my awesome goodies from KarenLoiuseM!! 

This was my first swap, and she helped to make it incredible! 

Here is a group shot!


She made me a gorgeous recipe box (the top is made from an LP!) with awesome dividers, blank recipe cards and some very interesting recipes, lol.  There was also a recipe book for casseroles, it has family favorites like Clam Batter Pudding with Salt-Pork Gravy and Kidney, Heart, and Liver in Soubise Sauce, yum! LOL.  There are some really appealing recipes too through!  Raspberry Souffle and Brownie Casserole are on my list of things to make!


Three great necklaces and a magnet - we share political views

I wore the mermaid necklace yesterday with TONS of compliments

Magetic dress-up dolls in their own little case - I LOVE these!


She made me an adorable little apron made from a vintage embroidered pillowcase!


A cool LP sleeve purse and beautiful tunnel of love case.


She also sent some crazy cool stickers and Elvis fabric that just so happens to match my bedding!  I see pillows in my near future!


I feel so spoiled!  This was my first swap and was totally awesome!  Some of Karen's pics came out much better than mine, thanks for posting them for me to use! 

Great Swap!  Yay!

Instead making lofty resolutions that I never keep, I decided that this year all about trying new crafty things.  I need to get some variety in my stuffs -- I'd love to open a business of my own.  But that is next year's resolution!

My first learning experience this year is making jewelry, I've only made one other that turned out to look half decent.    Thanks for looking!http://

I had quite a few requests for a tutorial/pattern for my http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=219348.msg2361943#msg2361943 market bag, so here ya go.

I know the image is hard to read, so a big tutorial and downloadable pdf can be found here -> http://sugarcouture.dementedesigns.net/wordpress/?p=27

Enjoy!

Here's another of mine for week 3! (market bag tutorial still forthcoming!)
Beaded pendant.  I've never beaded any jewelry before this bit, so be kind!

Our first ice storm a few weeks ago

Other than sewing/crocheting beads into my projects, I've never made any beaded jewelry.  I just got new beads and wire, so I thought I'd give it a try.  Comments/tips greatly appreciated.   Thanks!

One of my 50

Made myself a wonderfully ginormous market bag.  Enjoy!

This pattern rocks! Next time I've gotta use a heavier liner fabric, this one had me grumpy!  It's really thin and was miserable to sew   I'm still pleased with the outcome though!

Enjoy
