I got my package from Whistley and finally managed to get some pictures!


First up was this very clever amigurumi of Neville after he'd turned himself into a canary. Technically a book item, but we'd agreed that booky things were equally fine and that was one of my favorite one-liners in the books.


She also made an amazing Evenstar pendant from Lord of the Rings! Wow, I still can't imagine making one of these! Now I just need to find an excuse to wear it somewhere.


Another Harry Potter item, this was a very cool decoupaged box.


The inside was just as cool, and even had a surprise inside!


Also a mirror based on Enchanted, one of my all-time favorite Disney movies, and featuring my favorite character before she got humanized.


And inside an enclosed envelope, one last surprise! Some bookmarks based on one of my pins for both Narnia and Harry Potter. I'm already using one of them.

Thank you so much Whistley, you were a great partner!

Got everything all packed up and ready to ship out pretty soon.

This was a Stitch amigurumi I made for Calabaza in the 2012 Secret Santa swap. I used this pattern on ravelry, and used Simply soft yarn that I happily had waiting in my stash. He took a good deal longer to make than I anticipated because of all the tiny pieces involved, but my partner loved him so it was all worth it in the end.

Posting to let you know I'm still here. I just had my Senior Show, so my last week's been super crazy and I didn't get the crafting done I was hoping for (almost everything that could go wrong did, but then I suppose that's to be expected ), but I have the supplies and everything and am ready to dive in and get everything ready for send-out day.

Yeah, I may or may not end up making something larger than 4x4 too. One's the sort of craft that for me never ends up quite the size I expect, while another I think is smaller in all directions but I could be slightly wrong. >.>

That's cool, I think I was reading the last sign-up day as 4/24 and thinking that was the send-out day. Um, oops. Definitely a good thing though since now I feel like I can actually spend time getting together a nice package since like Ryn I've got a lot of stuff going on atm.

Oh wow, did the send-out date move or have I just been misreading it wrong this whole time? Well yay, looks like I'll have time to do that other project I'd sadly had to scrap after all.

Also, the fabric arrived today and it looks just as great as I'd hoped. Here's hoping the resulting project can do it justice.

(And no worries Whistley, I love the books to my movies just as much so I'm cool with booky crafts. )

Woot, just got an e-mail that my fabric shipped out today. Looks like I'm optimistically getting it in time after all if all goes well in the transit.

Hmm, I'm very tempted to try this one, especially seeing sendouts would be right around my birthday. I'd just need to find a partner I can ask. Hmm...

Wow, Atticus is amazing! I'm in awe at how much detail you were able to fit into so little space, and he's so cute in a mechanical sort of way.
