mmm just of the jewelry... not of the rest of the package like the apron.  I wish I had taken a picture of it too because it was really cute and I am glad you liked it.  

Here is the jewelry set at least.  

Me again with some amazing pictures of my own this time of my package from Nuhbe!

It was the best package to open because the box was wonderful with a drawing interpretation of a painting of Goya at the bottom but also everything was individually wrapped and I love unwrapping.  There is a cute little pink note book, candy, an amazing cellphone strap, candy, beads (the bones are my favorite), candy , a cute mummy pin and did I mention candy??

The picture dont do justice to the pin and the cell strap but they are wonderful





thank you for a great package Nuhbe  

The post office did surrender the package and my camera finally cooperated and I have a computer! And tadaa here are some picture of my amazing package from halfelvenwriter.  

I received the best shadow box of the ball scene which now stand proudly on my computer desk, a postcard of Jareth (fawns herself) some mirrors which are like the three crystal balls, a diary with a picture of Jareth on top.  I was wondering how you did it because the picture is so well blended.  And two soaps with great stories.  One is a crystal soap and one a peach soap.  

Thank you for a great swap package.



That board game and those earrings are so cool.

Well last year I was fall



took an old dress and attached fake leaves all over and attached sleeves.

This year (actually this morning) I got this pattern, though I have a feeling I will have to modify it somewhat to fit my bust.

with this hat (the tricorn) http://store.sewingtoday.com/cgi-bin/butterick/shop.cgi?s.item.B3805=x&TI=10013&page=7

Which realisticaly exceeds my sewing abilities but I will try!

And while I am at it (taking care of all the pictures on my computer tonight) here are some pictures of what I sent Teraspawn since I know she received. 

A cd of music, a cuff, aunt agatha's necklace and earrings,some magnets. I was happy to find a picture of Jeeves and the terrier since she liked that episode.  Not in the pictures though.

Well last week I decided that it was the week I joined the gym.  There was a few classes that seemed cool so I thought its now or never.  Unfortunatly I had no pants but jeans.  So what's a girl to do? Make some!





I destroyed an old Threadless shirt that my husband kept telling me the characters looked like dildos (chess pieces!! they are chess pieces!!!) and followed the tutorial on the t-shirt surgery livejournal community made by bakedinapie.

I received!  Actually I received probably way earlier this week but the mailman put it in the box next to mine but it found its way back. 

Great minds think alike! I received a cd of music from Jeeves and wooster show ( I sent her one too) 2 cute owls (Bertie and Jeeves rolling his eyes) a notebook with a drawing from the opening of the serie and a cute handsown bag.   The notebook fits perfectly in my leather note holder too!





thanks so much for the great package.

I am arriving kind of late on this thread since day to day life got crazy for a while and wow the crafts are amazing.  That journal pillow, those hoodies, the bags, puffins and the cards… and I know I forget some out of 16 pages.

Here is what I received from bobolink.   Had asked for sea monster and she did not know but I always wanted a miniature boat since as a kid I considered them the highest peak of home decoration.  And I got a giant squid attacking a boat! Its amazing there is little details like a bucket and a lobster cage and the octopus has wires in the arms so I can position them at will.  There is also a baby giant octopus magnet.

Thanks bobolink for all the great crafts and now the pictures!

Here are the things I sent to la_petite_moi.

A votive candle holder with a collage of my old Paris map and a tour Eiffel. Some Lu cookies (white chocolate), a t-shirt embroidered Paris with some buttons (not shown) a cd of French songs about Paris and other songs I like, some Paris iron on stickers. And of course I had to keep with the pillow there 

There is a flap on it closing with a ribbon and if you open it, it reveals the lyrics of the song J’ai deux amours (mon pays et Paris)

Tadaaa

I am completely amazed at the level of creativity with the embroidery. Especially since the cross stitch project that I just finished was the cutsy kind with rabbits but since skull and serial killer are not always appreciated for baby gifts…

Here is the project that took me an eternity.  I thought “oh there is just a few colors and seems simple enough” ahhh silly me who had never done cross stitch before.  I was not in time for the shower or even the birth but shortly after I was done.

Not my pattern so cant say it was overly creative on my part but I am just so happy to have finished it!
