My button-bump toad-man from haroldlovesmaude


Thank you!!!

Haroldlovesmaude asked me to post a photo of the OTT I sent to her.


I sent her Halloween Treats stitch markers.  Clockwise from top:  wrapped mini chocolate (based on Hershey's bars), popcorn ball (I used to receive these as a kid from my neighbor), candy corn, black gumdrop with sugar crystals and wrapped taffy.

Here is what hazelly sent to me:

It's a teensy-weensy doily!  Look at all of those tiny stitches she had to make!  She went to thirteen stores to try to find orange thread, but none of them had it.  I think it is beautiful.  I think that this year I will have it sitting out, but next year I'll craft a nice frame for it so I can have it hanging up.

Thank you, hazelly!

Here is the chunky house that I sent to TheSavoyTruffle, since she asked me to post a photo.



The inspiration for this chunky house was a "Greetings from..." postcard.  TheSavoyTruffle really liked the heads of Easter Island so I thought "what if they were having a party?"  The black crepe paper is supposed to be masks on their faces, but my husband says it doesn't translate like that.

I received my last house from goatgoddess.





It has a toad on it!  I love toadies.  Thank you, goatgoddess!

All the houses are now sitting on the window ledge; they look great there!

I also received from Killam Creative today.




I love the witch photo and I was tickled that she used it in constructing my house.  The detail diagonal shot is so you can see some of the 3-D elements.  The witches have pop tabs behind them, the brick background is embossed, the black trim is embossed and the roses& leaves really pop out of the trees.

Thank you, Killam Creative!

I received from TheSavoyTruffle today.  Here is the house.



A little monacle was added to the top pumpkin on the front and the middle one has a little mustache!  It made me chuckle when I saw it.  I'm not sure which side I like better, actually.  It may be one that I occasionally flip.

Thank you, TheSavoyTruffle!

I was away from home for a week and I came back yesterday to find my package from AlwaysInspired.
Prepare to Pin It.

My very own one-of-a-kind prim.  It's a skelly moon man!  He has a little top hat and a bat!

Detail of the cute lil bat.

I took a picture from the side so you can kind of see the stitching.  This isn't flat by any means, it was (looks like) handstitched around each element.

I also received original artwork in a pretty frame!

Here's a closeup of just the artwork.  Is it watercolor?  It has some subtle shading around the cat and the moon.  I like their grins.


Thank you, Deana!

Here is my Chunky House from DanniQuee.

My favorite part is the buttons.  I just love buttons and they give the overall composition an older feeling. 

Thank you, Danni!

Yay!  I am glad that you like your items!

I do have some photos.  Here are a couple that I have uploaded to Flickr:
