My package is here from estar23!  YAY YAY for video game goodness! 


Here is the whole shabang!  A Katamari Dymacy frame, a Zelda tote, a Katamari Dymacy shirt (for the hubster), and a moogle stuffie!   oooOOOoooooo!!!!


Here is the Katamari frame, w/ a cross-stitched prince on it, which I adore!  I loooooove cross-stitches, and I just recently did my first one.  I'm so excited to get one!  The frame has fun random objects on it, including some super cute puffy stickers.  Na na na na na na na na na na na na na naaaaa!


A squishy and delightful moogle head from Final Fantasy.  It looks like it is made from felt, so snuggly!!!!  I think my new little friend will make a nice home for himself on our couch.


A bag w/ the triforce symbol from Zelda.  The triforce is so soft.  I keep running my hand over it in delight.  Mmmm, soft.  I'm a sucker for soft.


And inside the bag: EXTRAS!!!  I got stuffing, felt pieces, embroidery floss (its like she knew!), key chains, magnets and glass bubbles to make magnets, a tin, floss holders, a little sewing kit, and a mini magnetic frame.  Woo hoo!!!!  All stuff that will come in useful for later crafting adventures!


Katamari Dymacy shirt (for the hubby!).  Isn't it awesome!!!  Its so bright and colorful!  Is it an iron-on transfer?  Its so cool!  The hubby really likes it!

Uh, my love, that's not how it goes.  Silly husband!


Ah, there ya go.  The hubster modeling the wares.  He's pretty happy.  ^_^

Thanks for awesomely nerdy package, estar23!  I <3 it!!!!!

I finished a small, I'm still hoping to get this done this week.  *fingers crossed*  I just wish that the painters would finish up painting the outside of our apartment complex so my herbies can get off my table and back outside so I can craft again.  One of my projects requires a sewing machine (gasp!) and its hard to sew without a table.  ^_^  I can only do so much on a tv tray.  I need space! 

ooo!  i like the sparklies w/ the feathers!!!

I'm glad you like it, SilverMoon!  I'm pretty proud of that one.  ^_^

First off, a very special THANK YOU to barbolot for the tutorial on how to make these flowers.  I've been goo-goo-eyed for these flowers when I saw them on etsy.  I even bought some for all my bridesmaids and myself for my wedding.  And now with that tute, I can make my very own, and I did!  

Here is the tute:

And here is what I made for my swap partner for the Hair Accessories Swap.

I had my lovely little sister model them for me so I could get better shots of them.


JoAnn's sells lovely satin headbands in different colors.  I attached some vintagy looking lace first, and then the feathers (again, from JoAnn's) and then the flower.  And TADA!  Headband!  My sister loved it so much she almost didn't give it up.  I made her a promise to make her one in yellow and black.


Another flower and feathers, but this time applied to a metal chip.  I added a bow for a little more interest.




And more flower clips sans feathers all on metal chips.  

Here is the whole package together.


Thanks for looking!

ooo!  those are so cool!  I think my favorite is the little striped one.  <3 

A tutorial, even?!  You rock!  That is a freakin' awesome hat!  I want to make one for my niece and nephew now, and it doesn't even look too hard to make.  I have very VERY basic sewing skills.

What a cutie hedgehog!!!  So small and fun!

Everything is so amazing so far!!!  That hat and scarf set is so cool!!!  I also really like the cross stitches.

I received some ATC's!  YAY YAY!

First, from Mrs.LindsayLoo for my viking theme.  Its called "If Wob (my friend) was a viking".

She loved it so much she even made it her profile.  I can't blame her, its brilliant! 

And from JillHogan for my cheese theme.  Its called "I <3 cheese" which I wholeheartedly agree.

Mmmm cheese!  She even got my favorite (and middle name) on there as well, BRIE!!!!  And you are correct, Jill, it does look quite realistic.  I'm longing for a cracker right now.  I love all the different fonts!

And finally, a personal swap w/ Gozer that was too cool to not share.  Its for my pickle theme (why I chose a pickle theme, I will never know, I just like the looks of them, but not the taste.  Bleck!)

Its SUPER PICKLE!  Da da da DA!!!!  He is a cool layered pickle, and raised off the card.  He has a look on his face that means business. 

Thanks for the wonderful cards, ladies!!!
