goodness!  I'm so bad at checking in    I have received my partner's undies and am brewing up splendiferous ideas, mwaa haa haa yeessss...

I don't think I can say how excited I am about this swap, ha ha ha.

I love combinations.  Variety is the spice of life after all!   

Hot diggity dog, I love that fabric!

That skirt is adorable.  Thanks for the tut

I don't think the pics make it look funny at all.  That's probably the most adorable purse I've seen.... well, ever

Very cute, I love the print of the fabric.  Is it a really BRIGHT red or more of a muted kind of red?  It looks a little 'rosey-red' in some of the pictures.

That's really cute, I like the deep V in the back

TheLilCrocheter:  It's pretty much the coolest swap ever. 

First you say "I claim package B, gigantic doily!  I have 4 claims left!"

And then I say "Nu-uh sistah!  I totally claim Package B!  Mine all mine!  I have 4 claims left!"

And then you're all like "I don't think so, summerthyme!  I gotta have me that doily!  I claim package B, and I have 3 claims left!"

And them I'm all like "Oh no you didn't!  I claim package B, and I have 3 claims left too so there!"

And then you punch me in the face.  KIDDING! 

But yeah, we just keep fighting over whatever package we want until time is up or we run out of claims    

When the claiming period ends, the last person to have successfully claimed Package B gets that craft, and the other person gets another craft (say you originally had Package N and I had Package B.  When you claim Package B, you would be giving me your Package N.  They just switch back and forth).

Craftydeb - that geisha is adorable, I love the fabrics you use

Homerof2 - I think that's the biggest doily I've seen in my entire life!  I love how it looks like a sun in the middle.

violet_thistle - Those colors are gorgeous

I just got a new sewing book so I'm hoping to successfully make something out of cloth this time instead of jewelry (won't have to worry about allergies that way).

I'm looking for crafty people in the Boone / Watauga county area.  I've been up here for 2 1/2 years at App, but am still not really familiar with all the neat junk/thrift shops, flea markets, art fests and things like that up here.

So . . . anybody out there?  lol
