hooray! today i received my monster from d3v14n7!! the entire drive home from the post office, there was an urge to pull over and rip the box open! however, i controlled myself and waited until i got home.


group shot!


she's so stinkin' sweet, i could just eat her up!


some closeups of the awesome beading d3v14n7 did!


some wonderfully awesome buttons and ribbon!


a totally rad mustache keychain!! (my fav!)


and some  snacks! thanks again d3v14n7

awesome! this was my first swap ever, and it was a blast! susanab was a great partner! i love love love halloween, and this little fellow is perfect!



he also came with a mug rug, and that is perfect, because i always have soda or water near me while sewing.


oh and he also came with a little snack. there was an internal battle over if i should eat it in the post office or wait until i get home to take the photos. the battle went on for like 3 seconds before i found myself opening it and enjoying the treat in the post office! thanks again susanab!

i love bright colors and prints so i just had to put these two together. i was very excited to try this wallet, and was amazed it went together so fast!

i was interested in this project for a bit, and finally i just did it. total i think i spent 40 minutes on it.

i made these super cute tie on slippers for my mother in law's birthday.

i wish that i had taken a photo of them on her feet, but you'll have to trust me that they are super cute tied up!

this is my new lunch tote for work. i'm really excited about how this came out.
