Only a few more hours to wait to be "paired" up 

I can't wait. Already started on my bookmarks and very keen to send them.

That's a great idea but Barbies have hair and their clothing gets dusty so fast! That wouldn't be good at all.

How about some jewellery? You could make her a marble bracelet with pictures of her family or little notes everyone will have written.

I saw one elsewhere on the board: a paper crane/various origami mobile?

What made you like it there? I'm living there at the moment and I'm just dying to get away. Paris is a pretty nice city but the people *shivers*

On topic for this thread, I can get you postcards if you want, they're readily available.

@krazigal:

Yes, originally, I think they were made to be buttons, but I've only ever seen them on necklaces

@laureg:

Bad, bad you

Oh. My.

I am in love with you! Will you marry me and make Star Wars costumes?

Seriously, would you be willing to help me create something similar?

These necklaces were made of dyed mother-of-pearl on ribbon.
I just loved the colours, couldn't resist showing them

You look so very lovely in it! 

I think a similar dress can be made from a Vogue pattern (I have it somewhere, will post a scan of the cover when I find it)

Thanks.

Update: I managed to fix a little of the floppiness with fusable interfacing... Just ironed some pannels over the sewed pannels. It's not as pro or as pretty if I need to turn it to repair again, but at least now the bag pretends to hold itself up...

I've started another little baggie fully interfaced and that's working like a treat.
And I got to try this gorgeous KIWI (!!!!!) soft cotton I got the other day... Pictures coming up

I'm so interested but my "only one swap at first" swap is sending out on the 30th If only the sign-up ended a little after that

So freaky!!! Particularly on the sunflower things...
