Yay! I'm glad it arrived safely.
I took some pics before I sent it out

The green fabric is actually upcycled from this skirt. It wasn't too pretty as a skirt but I loved the embroidery and the beads! Since you wanted a roll to take with you on camping trips, I thought the nice green and flowery embroidery was really nice:


here it is again, opened, along with some stitch markers I hope you'll enjoy that I received in another swap (I don't knit much anymore)


some detailing on the inside:


and rolled up:


I was quite happy with how it turned out.
Hope you enjoy the dyes!

Hi, my name is Paulina! I've recently turned 20 on January 23rd. I’m currently in school studying Visual Arts, and also working towards my education degree so I can be a Highschool Teacher.

Troublet!!! WHAT HAVE YOU CREATED??! .. the warnings you sent me were no joke...  (I love it! )

Okay, so.. I opened the most amazing swap package today from Troublet!!

.. it all started this morning, I went out for breakfast, and got the package before class. Here is Mortimer The Sock Monkey, 10mins after meeting, as I forced him to come to class with me today

"No Paulina! I don't WANT TO GO INTO YOUR SMELLY BAG FILLED WITH TEXTBOOKS AND DASUHDKJSAHDKHASKD"

We got home and... "Mortimer, please can I take a picture of you? PLEASE?"


..."No, it has to be with everything I recieved from Troublet.. please? PLEASSSSSSSSE? I'LL GIVE YOU CHOCOLATE???!?!?! "


We made a deal. He has too much power over me... 
..look at that satisfied smirk.. *sigh* 



inside was:
3 packs of scrapbooking gemstones, a huge pack of scrapbooking pages, A WHOLE BRAND NEW PACK OF FINE LINE SHARPIES!!, birthday card, and Tazo tea, and the star of the show: Mortimer the sock monkey. (named appropriately after Robert Munsch's book)   .. and yes, he arrived in the package with arms crossed! LOL. *please note: HE HAS A BELLY BUTTON. I laughed so hard when I saw it *
close up:


Thank you so much Troublet! You're the best swapper ever. ever. I love everything. (Including Mortimer and his additude)     -now, to work on a thank you card! -

"hm. what is the Princess Bride?"

.. and i LITERALLY just watched it for the FIRST time in my life. i cant believe it took me 19 years (turning 20 on the 23rd!) for me to discover this movie. seriously. and i loved it so much, i think i'm gonna have to watch it again tomorrow, just to catch all the quotes again! 

AHHH. after that, i'll be handing in my questionaire
