My package arrived from RedMenace yesterday and I literally had to fight off my children from the package so that I could snap a couple of pictures! Here's the shot of everything together:

There was a fun, elf shoe shaped stocking (it's currently hanging on my bedroom door knob) filled fantastic goodies! A knitted headband (in Coraline inspired colors), fun pins (a Hello Kitty one for my daughter and a gorgeous flower for myself), an awesome Skittles zippered pouch, button necklace and picture for my sewing room, a uber fabulous stripe scarf (I can't wait to wear it!) and lots of awesome extras including a disco ball lip balm (it's even glittered inside), double thick socks (I am currently wearing them), lots of fun stickers, a Boston Pride magnet, a fabulous sock monkey coin purse, quote sticky notes, and deco masking tape. We love it!

Most of the items have made their way into everybody's room but here's a shot of the button necklace and painting:

Thank you so much for the fun package!

Yay! I'm glad you liked everything! Crafting with an infant was a challenge, but I'm really glad I did this swap

Hooray, hubby's home and I can finally post pics of my awesome swap loot from sweetyetevil!

Here's the whole package together (minus some candy and Christmas-themed cupcake liners already in use!)


And here's the adorable ocean-themed stocking by itself, modeled next to its recipient!


An embroidery hoop with a standing mixer... how did you know I actually own a red standing mixer?!


Hello Kitty beaded bracelet!


Fused glass and sparkly resin pendants (this was the best pic I could get, but they're really pretty!)


Embroidered felt gingerbread ornament = love!


And my personal favorite, woodburned birdie coasters, these are so awesome!


Oops, didn't get a pic of the baby bib but it's already absorbing some drool as I type!

Thank you so much sweetyetevil for a wonderful swap!

I received my package from sweetyetevil yesterday! She sent an adorable stocking filled with so many fun things, I'll be back to post pics tomorrow!

Adorable stocking, I totally need to find some sparkly snowman fabric!

A girl at work stuck her hand into a 60-quart mixer and now she's out of work for 3 months - translation: I have to work a bunch of extra shifts and I'll probably be crafting right down to the wire!

Hooray! I had such a productive day today... I finished the stocking and made a small stuffer and got everything laid out and ready to go for another stuffer! Thank goodness for naptime or I'd never get anything done

I'm almost done with my large item and I'm having a crafting day with a buddy of mine, so maybe I can get the stocking done tomorrow... here's hoping!

I finally picked up all of my stocking fabric last night, but my crafting buddy canceled our craftathon for today So I'll just have to wait til the weekend!

Who would've thought crafting with a 3-month-old at home would've been so difficult? But I finally got to start crafting this past weekend and so far, so good!

  Hope you feel better soon, MadHatteh!


I have a list of possible crafts made up, no idea for the stocking yet! I'm getting together with a friend for a crafty day on Thursday so I'll be able to start some crafting then
