Apologies for taking so long, I received my lovely package from sewenthusiastic last week, but due to my first major round of testing at college (my dreams involve dancing blood pressures and medication sheets...) this has been my first chance to get pictures....

SO! here we are!


teesha moore inspired sketchbook cover


my space themed tshirt and lovely mug rug i'm resisting actually using it as such because its so pretty

so i mentioned i'd always admired knitters and now I shall become one! (maybe) yarn, a lovely needle holder (with needles), and really cool book (i want to eventually make the skully sweater) my friends have informed me i ought to start off with bigger needles and a scarf though

this is the back of the sketchbook, i'm so in love with this fabric! I'm obsessed with these adorable retro prints and this one has space in it too!


cute buttons! from molly makes one of my favorite magazines (that i pay an arm and a leg for here in the states) there were also some super yummy gold medal gummies but i used those as study fuel (i did pretty well too )

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!
it was a package of awesomeness, of pure unadulterated awesome. and there were so many pictures that the ones here just scratch the surface of its beauty (ummm yes, I enjoyed this swap immensely, why do you ask?)

She decided to go with a retro theme with some african undertones (mine to her was "confetti" because I couldn't choose one) but anyway....the pictures! there were 2 "jars"; a jar and a lunchbox, contained within another "jar" of a backpack!


lion backpack! I;ve already worn it to work and I've had it less than 24 hours


awesome flipcard kind of thingy with awesome things


pinup lunchbox! I'm going to be the coolest kid at college come September plus I'm a navy brat

Its so perfect....so beautiful... She combined my love of the vintage style, with my love of medicine (i'm a nursing student), with my love of looking pretty! i mean really....so much awesome.....

she just got my style and personality so perfectly! I hope she was half as awestruck by my package to her. I know I said I was going to wit to post these till i got back from my little trip...but i couldn't wait!

slowpoke that I am, I received my lovely package from stacysews over a week ago, I just haven't had time to post it!
sooooo
here we are


This is the picture that was posted on her blog (which by the way is awesome and fun) because the shirt got forgotten at a friends house

I love the foil crown, and it has little rhinestones too! but by far the most awe inspiring thing is that the stripes (she replaced the sleeves with the rainbow fabric) are PERFECTLY matched! I mean...wow...I don;t think I've ever flawlwssly matched patterns before.

and now a picture of me in the shirt!



you can't really see the sleeves in this picture, but it fits great and I love it and all my family is super jealous
Its my new favorite tshirt, I've been wearing it EVERYWHERE!

Yay! first pictures! I give you......*insert drumroll* the beauteous package of Calbazza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



first off, a lovely journal/sketchbook cover with little do-hickeys that keep my pencils in place. I LOVE that its a cover so I can switch it between journals.



Also with my lovely notebook were these pens and pencil sharpener so I had no excuse to not get started writing right away



Awesome, perfectly sized messenger bag, and just to show how perfectly sized it is...



I brought it with me to the glbt pride parade and a girl actually asked where I got it too!

Thanks Calabaza!!!! Everything is so amazing I hope you enjoyed mine too!

I received my package from Mandys_momma over the long weekend and opened it up bright and early this morning
It was all even better than i imagined!


here's a picture of the lovely teapot picushion along with one of my teacup pincushions from another swap. Its so cute! I wish i could crochet Maybe this summer?


6 adorable little teapot topped pins which are already in use on a new project

(i really hadn't realize it had been so long since I posted! Bad crafter, bad!

heartland map box makes me homesick as all get out

i went with a world travel...gypsyish theme....i feel like mine are really plain and simple to the ones i've seen here... apologies to both my partners! I didn't realize just how creative you could get with these!

hi! i've been lurking for quite awhile so this is my first post


first up, a clubbing dress or when i go back to school, its coton and more of a mock up than final product, but it'll do for now



a pleated red schoolgirly skirt its a little big on me, but i still havn't mastered the zipper so i can make it more fitted


green and blue houndstooth scarf for my sister she looks so happy that i gave it to her
