I received today from J_Kievet
I'm very impressed with the culottes!

Thank you!

Posting photos is SO important (to me, at least--and I think I'm not the only one).  One of my partners didn't post until about 6 weeks after she received, and it really bummed me out!  I was really proud of what I had made for her and wanted to see a picture in the gallery amongst the other lovely items.  It just made me feel like my partner didn't even care at all to take 5 minutes to post the photos, and kinda soured me to the swap process. 

And unfortunately, I am going through the same thing again.  I got excited and sent way early to 5 people, and only 3 have posted (been about 10 days).  What's up with that?

yes, I realize people get busy.  I've got a full-time job and other commitments as well.  But part of agreeing to be in a swap is agreeing to post the photos.  If you can't do that---don't join the swap!  If the original poster could have posted a few sentences on the board---they probably could have posted photos in that time.

I have received from ShannonMB!  Super-fun!  I think I am going to wear it to my office Christmas party!


And I have now received from ALL my swappers!  Thank you so much!  All of these will go great with all my Green outfits (my favorite color!!!)

I received from browndog, and it was totally worth the wait!  Thank you so much.
she handmade a wonderful, simple small purse that is PERFECT for me!


Thanks again!  Lovely!

Checking in!
Have 1/3 of my items done!
Can't wait to get my stocking stuffers from my partner.  I LOVE people who can sew!

I'll be using adjustable ring blanks as well.

Still brainstorming...and will hopefully get some crafting done this weekend! 

Super-excited about this swap!
Thanks so much to our lovely organizer, Greenfaerie, for organizing this and letting me in! Cheers!

Sent to browndog today!  It's going to Canada from the Texas/Mexican Border so I hope it doesn't take too long to get there!

Thank you so much to my new friend, browndog:



I received her package all the way from Canada! and it had an awesome MAP in it!!!! (I'm a cartographer and I LOVE maps).  Also a totally cute photo of her beautiful dogs!  Love it!

And here is a little description of the items:



Thanks so much again!  Can't wait to try out the fabric!  I'm learning some new sewing projects, and can't wait to get better at it.
