Hey everyone!!!!  Would any of you be interested in doing another round of a Mario swap??  I'm organizing my first swap right now (Zelda Rnd 4), so signups wouldn't be till that ones all done (around end of April?).  I was thinking maybe a 5 point swap, signups for 2 weeks and 5 weeks of crafting time?  Sound good?  YAY!!!!

I've been wanting to make a string doll for a while, so last night I did!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE how it turned out except that I had to use quite a bit of glue on the hands and feet cuz the yarn just did not want to stay on there.  More practice I guess    Here he is!!!



Thanks for looking!!!

Anyone up for another round of the Zelda Swap??  With the new Skyward Sword out there could be some new crafty ideas that just need to be made  I would think a 5 ponit swap with signups around the beginning of March?

Would anyone be interested in doing a looney tunes swap?  I LOVE Looney tunes!!!!  I would start it up in January and maybe a 3 - 5 point swap.  Anyone???

OK, I'm posting this, but I didn't make it.  BUT my MIL DID, with no pattern, from scratch!!  And I think it is absolutely beautiful!!!  I am in awe of anyone who can sew and this is definetly no exception.  Its Daysie-Lynns first halloween costume as Snow White....

Heres a pic of the whole thing.  The neck part was on snaps so if it started to bug Daysie, we could just take it off.  And the skirt was....ummmm......v ery poufy, you know, it had like tulle material in it so it was nice and big a poufy.  And it was all gathered at the bottom with little pearl buttons.  Anyways...on to the pics



And a close up just for fun, she also made the bow and a matching diaper cover with pretty ruffles (not pictured  )



Thanks for looking!  Hope you like, WE DID!!!!!!  I think Nana has a job for a long time with pretty little costumes now

I was going to put this in the amigurumi section, but its not an ami!!  So I'm putting it here.  Its navi from Zelda, BUT her bottom wing is hiding a tape measure!!  I made it for BunnieBoo in the Zelda Swap.

I made this tiny little guy for the one tiny stuffie rnd 7 for my partner.  I had to look up what a tachikoma is but as soon as I saw it I knew I had to at least try him!!  (or is it her??  it???)  It was a great little challenge, and making it 5" or less was the most difficult part.  Here he is.

When I was growing up (and now!  ) I always had 3 fave games, Zelda, Mario and Sonic!  Theres always swaps for Zelda (one right now, signups close soon!!!) and Mario, but i haven't seen one for just Sonic.  I would love to have a Sonic swap.  If I was to host, it would have to be in Sept/Oct. Anyone interested??
