i received the most wonderful package from feverdream this week! i think we were friends in another life, because her package was so much in line with my own tastes. here is a shot of everything, which was so nicely wrapped with paper and ribbon but i was too impatient to find the camera before opening it:



something edible: the most amazing chocolate i think i have ever had, dark chocolate with sea salt and toffee
something with your favorite animal on it: kitty stickers (my fav animal too)


something essential to your favorite craft: homemade knitting needles that she made herself! size 11. i cant believe she made these. i love them and cant  wait to use them


something made out of paper: paper cranes that she has been making for years. they are lovely.


something you think smells good: bath bomb from lush. actually one of my favorite stores. i will prob save this for a long time before using it, it's in my closet now making everything smell amazing.
something you keep in your purse: let them eat cake lip balm. i think i am addicted. she loves marie antoinette who is on the packaging.


a kitchen staple: super cute clips bc she loves cutesy kitchen stuff (so do i)
something that helps you keep organized: a cute little bunny pouch
something from your fav store: keychain from the SANRIO STORE!!! one my favs too.


something you collect: mugs that she collecting from being at airports
something related to yarn or thread: a teeny tiny amigurumi kitty

thank you so much feverdream.  you are awesome and have really spoiled me with this package

so my package from faeriegirl came earlier this week, just when both of us were starting to lose hope.
but it was so worth the wait. i am in complete awe of what she sent me.

this amazing little fey girl and a tiny bat (i love bats)


here's another pic with my hand to show just how teeny tiny she is.

she is perfect, amazing craftsmanship on both these little things.
thank you so much faeriegirl, i think you rock

 loved these books as a kid, and now that spring is here, i find myself dreaming of forest creatures. so i was thinking, how about a swap inspired by the beatrix potter books?  there's a ton of ways i can think of to craft the adorable creatures from her books.

would anyone be interested? i can organize, but i wouldn't start sign ups for a couple weeks probably.

im so sorry it took me quite a few days to get pics up of the awesome moomin stuff that cursive_queen sent me.  i had a wedding saturday then spent sunday hungover and useless.

she sent me two embriodery hoops, one of moomin and the other of snufkin:




and she sent me an AMAZING bag with moomin screenprinted on it, that i have already been carrying around with me everywhere.


and a bottle cap necklace, which is something i made for her too. for the life of me i could not get a picture of it that was even remotely clear. cursive_queen, if you have a decent pic plz post it!

thank you so much! i love everything you made.
