Wow!  So many great packages.  I've been away on vacation in a town with no 3G network and an overloaded hotel wifi network.  My phone would only connect to it between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.  Lucky for me, I came home to find a beautiful package from Fascinated.  She sent me two lovely items knitted by none other than Molly Weasley!  I cannot overstate how much I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the colors!  Here is the gorgeous cell phone pouch:



I have posted the beautiful "Muggle" coffee cup cuff in the private swap gallery:

Thank you, Fascinated for the beautiful package.  Pinkleo and jenniegram, thank you for all your co-organizing work!

Fascinated and I were partnered for the One Tiny Harry Potter 3 swap.  She sent me this coffee cup cuff as an extra item.  In staying with the spirit of an OTT swap, we will consider the extra a private swap item.  I love the colors so much and her stitching is lovely.  I can hardly wait to use it.  Maybe I'll crank up the A/C and brew myself a cup just so I have an excuse. 

Woohoo... I think this is the first time that I have finished early in a swap. I am hoping to get the package out this week.

I will be gone on vacation from Sunday to Thursday!     Since I won't be home all week, you don't have to get in a hurry to ship.  I will be crafting for you in the car. 

Hey everyone.  Just checking in.  I'm making slow progress.  I have a lot of stuff on my summer crafting list and a major case of crafting ADD.  Having a hard time finishing anything at the moment before I flutter to another project.   

Thanks for the kind words.  The owl face is a flap.  The zipper is at the top, underneath the flap.

This owl backpack is for my nature loving son's 9th birthday.  It's made from two pairs of pants, a sweater scrap, and straps taken from an old bag.  The bags at http://thaihandmadecrafts.com were my inspiration.

Wow!  You all have posted so many awesome projects since I was last on here!  Totally amazing.    

This owl backpack is for my nature loving son's 9th birthday.  He has a special passion for owls and sometimes assists Hagrid in the owlery tower.

Just checking in.  I decided to make a _________________fo r my partner.  Now my kids want one too.  I'm doing theirs first so I can make and learn from my mistakes on them.  They don't seem to notice my crafting flaws. 

Thank you, pinkleo and jenniegram!  I'm so excited to craft for my partner!  You gals rock. 

Thanks everyone!  I really love how they turned out, despite the many flaws.  She will be wearing them at every possible opportunity.
