SonjaBoo received my package today, so I'm posting photographs of what I sent. 

Here's the whole loot, save the bag of Dunkin' Donuts French Vanilla coffee that I also included...


I made this little tea box covered in vintage fabrics for holding favorite teas...




Along with a knitted mug cozy...


And a homemade coffee facial/body scrub...


Besides the coffee that isn't shown, the edibles included an assortment of herbal teas, various flavored honey sticks for the teas, cappucino-flavored cookies, and a chocoalate bar with espresso.

I received my CD package from magick8ball today.  Besides two CDs, she made an awesome carrying case for the discs.  In addition to being a gorgeous extra treat, it's made from my favorite yarn (which she couldn't have known) and is super soft, plus she included some extra ribbon in case I want to use it as a purse later.  Awesome!

Just like she wrote in her note, a few of my favorites are already on here, so I can't wait to listen to the rest.  Thanks for such a cool package, magick8ball!

Yea, magzilla received her hoodie, so I can post photographs now!  Maggie said that she likes the art of Jason Sho Green (http://www.youyesyou.net), so I browsed the site for some inspiration before coming up with this idea.

What's that odd shape...?


Ooooh, it's a face and there's some sort of bubble coming out of its mouth! 
(Yes, this is a weird photograph with the hoodie all smooshed sideways, but it was the only way I could really show what the entire design is since it wraps around the side of the hoodie.)


And here's a photograph of the back...


Plus a close up of the fabrics used for the bubbles...

All of these fabrics but the yellow striped one are vintage scraps from the sixties and seventies that a friend gave me when she found them in a relative's attic, so I love finding fun uses for them.

I wish I could have taken photographs with this hoodie on to show how the design wraps, but I just wanted to mail it.  The important thing is that it's done and that my partner likes it.  Glad this was a successful swap for both of us, Maggie!

Here's the awesome hoodie I received from magzilla!  I wore it out the day after I got it, and I've changed into it when I've gotten home pretty much every day the past week.  Parting with it long enough to wash will be difficult!  I told her that I like "cute food" and this is what she came up with.  I love it because it relates to my interest, but it's a different style than I typically make for myself, so it's fun and different.

The front says "Veggie Core."


The back has an ear of corn, and the hood has an apple.


Around the corn it says, "mmmmmm", and around the apple it reads, "don't forget the fruits"
   

I mailed your today, maggie, so let me know when you get it and I'll post the photographs I took.  Thanks again!

finally getting around to posting my swap stuff from theatregirl.  sorry it took so long!

 

Here are photographs of the CD and little notebook that I sent to Theatregirl 25.

   

This is a bag I made for one of my friends for her birthday.  She is a new knitter and I wanted to encourage her habit!  The bag is made of felt on the outside and lined in vintage fabric.  The outter pocket is meant for small odds and ends like yarn needles, stitch markers, and such, while the big pocket can be used to store scissors, patterns, and other larger things.  Like a total dolt, I forgot to take photographs of the back, but the neat thing is that it has another piece of felt sewn on it covering all but about two inches on one end, and that piece is sewn/ribbed into four sections, each of which will hold a set of knitting needles.  It's an all-in-one storage case!

This is a t-shirt that I embellished for one of my friends for Christmas.  The only thing I had to buy was the t-shirt itself and everything else was in my sewing box.

i just got my package today i love it. Im trying to get pictures, but somethings up with my camera. i might have to use my phone. anyways, ill try to post pics later tonight or tomorrow. (my only days off)

Since you've received it, I can just post pictures I took, so you don't have to fuss with it.  Glad you like everything!!

Here's another clutch that I made, this time without a handle.  I thought that I was going to sell it, but then I put all my makeup in it to check for size/capacity, and I may not be able to let it go!  I love cupcakes!

     

You can't tell in the photograph, but the blue cupcake paper is sparkled with glitter in the felt, and the sprinkles are irridescent sequins.
