So, a few months ago, I was desperate for a poppet. Although I tried to sew one myself, they didn't seem to turn out very well - AT ALL. So, I went through what seemed like all of craftster to see if anyone would be willing to swap with me for one - and I lucked out! Eliea agreed!! So, I crocheted some goodies for her and I received this beauty in the mail today!
She's everything I want and I've named her Lydia. You can't really tell from the photos but she has gorgeous rainbowy eyelashes. They sparkle!
Here she is on my netbook. I figured she'd like it since it's her size.

Here Lydia is looking up at me.

And here's us together! Excuse my appearance, I seem to be having a bad photo day.

Thank you SOOO much Eliea, I love her so much!

I received my package from fochaux today!! Yay!
Thank you fochaux I love everything!Here's everything: two sewn drawstring bags, one lovely crocheted bag, and one dishcloth (or is it a potholder?)

The drawstring drawn.

A picture just for the lovely crocheted bag. I love it!


Thank you so much fochaux I love it all!!

Hey guys!
This is my first time venturing to post in this section of the forum.
The glaze I used was Jensen Blue.
It would be bluer but it got removed from the kiln rather quickly.
Here I present to you, my first coil vase!
Enjoy!

and the inside:

Oh my gosh I received thank you thank you thank you YoungMom!!!
Here's everything:

That's the oceanic mug (I love the sea), earrings, a soft headband, a tea wallet, a necklace, and my favorite... a bag that was on my wists!!!

And lastly, the knitted pieces:

That's the purse, a wrist warmer, and a SUPER cute mini sweater. It even has a beaded design on it.

Thank you SOOOO much craftypuppymom!
I can tell you really payed attention to what I liked, especially the tree stuff.
I hope you enjoyed the package I sent you as much as I enjoyed this one.

Oh PS!: I forgot to add the picture of the FREAKING CUTE candy cane earrings.
They were so cute it made me drool.

Any one up for a fill a mug swap?
I want to organize it, but not until after Christmas.
It will be a small swap.
You would fill a mug to the rim with your partner's goodies with a limit of 3 points of extras.

This would be good for some first-time swappers out there.

Anybody in for it?

YAY! Today I finally got my camera working!!
Here's the pictures from Rae mazing!!
the lovely bag she made me! (That I now carry everywhere)

Some fall cocoa with a cute little pumpkin mug!

Some beautiful earrings:

My favorite!! The cutest jacket (blazer) anyone's ever sent me. It's velvety.

A leaf necklace (which I had been begging for)

a sweet little magnet

And lastly, a pillow! Here's the front side:

And the back side:


This package was amazingly thoughtful and I loved it a lot. Honestly, one of the best packages I've received.
I can see how much work she put into this and I'm so grateful for it. 

PS - I don't know why the pictures are upturned!! I straightened them out in photobucket!

And last but not least, these AWESOME polymer clay pie magnets! They're so detailed and beautiful.


Thank you SO much Luna Kitten. You totally tapped into my love of octopuses. All your stuff was so creative; I never would have thought of a peppermint PILLOW! (And it still smells amazing btw)

Sorry the pictures came so late.

They guys, I just made some stuff for the sweets/desserts swap and I thought I'd share it with you since my partner, LunaKitten recieved!

Here is LunaKitten's adorable niece wearing a crocheted cupcake hat (inspired by the Blythe cupcake hat) and a frosting scarf.



And here are some mini cakes I made:



Thanks for looking!

I RECIEVED, YAY!!!
I still can't believe how great this package is!!
I got waaay spoiled. 
Here's everything (minus the apron, I forgot it was under my arm!):

I absolutely love this bag!! I was so excited I wore it out today! It has some pretty cloud fabric behind the mushrooms.

Then there's this frickin awesome apron! I don't think this picture does it justice.

Here's the rest of the awesomeness. There's a veg magazine, some good smelling Indian incense (that made the whole package smell great!), 3 necklaces, some awesome flower beads, a chakra bookmark, stickers, the cutest little moccasin pouch, and little crocheted white flowers.

Thank you so much, Pixie!!
You put SO much thought into this so that you knew I would enjoy it!!

PS - I realized I forgot to take a picture of this beautiful macramé bracelet she made me because I've been wearing it all day!
