If anyone has an extra invite (from the 500 not cashed in), I'd love one! 

I can't speak for Dot5's customer service (yet), but I just got a year's worth of hosting there for $11.88 using this customer code: D5YEARLY.

Good luck! Erin

Your schnauzer is so cute!! Great first project!

Thanks so much for plugging Knitters, Not Quitters, Noelle! I'm one of the "founding members" so to speak, and I just wanted to suggest that moms (or dads) maybe sit in on a Saturday session on their own first to be able to gauge for themselves if it's kid-friendly or not. We have been known to use some four-letter words ourselves, so I'd hate to offend anyone. 

Pretty--they look so cozy! 

Thealtmartha and I have both sent and received!

That's so cute: your daughter is a sweet model! 

Yay--I'd be thealtmarthat's swap buddy anytime. Thanks to everyone... your crafts are awesome!! I love the cow tipping sticker so much.

I think another group may have done this before (I suddenly have Craftster amnesia), but it'd be cool to add a recipe component, too, in another round! 

Well, thealtmartha truly lived up to her name in this swap! Thank you so, so much! Here's a run-down on my vegan loot...

Here's an overview with a kick-ass card, beautiful handmade garland, a cat toy, and some magnets you'll get a close-up of in a sec.


This awesome pillow, made from 100% thrifted materials. I think this is my favorite... the back with the bunnies looks just like some of my old baby clothes and baby quilts!




Extremely cute handmade cat toy, with cat nip and animal message on front and back! (The other side is a panda, but the picture was blurry)


Vegan magnets! These are so cute! The little text ones are pet-themed and the two larger ones are these beautiful vintage images "veganized!"


Handmade local animal liberation blank book



Really original idea... a cassete case filled with blank sheets for writing things down in the car... this is going to be so handy!



Thank you, Altmartha! I love that everything you made was local and repurposed. You totally made my week and I love all of these so much!!

I like the virus jewelry!!
