Received from FrankSpinello an awesome package!
Here is everything, so many awesome whimsies and goodies!

Some of my favorites: it's a zombie cupcake pincushion!

And some more favorites

I want to put some of my whimsies up on a shelf I have but the movers are coming on Monday so I guess I will have to wait until we get to the new house...
I loved my JOW, thank you for a great swap!

Received from whenindoubtsew a beautiful mugrug inspired by one of my favorite movies

And a close up of the amazing detail she did on the embroidery


Thanks for a great swap!

I have a one month old baby boy and I just realized he only has one sleep sack, since it is getting pretty cold here I made him another one so I can have one to use while the other one is being washed. I used an old fleece pullover and a pair of fleece pajama pants that my dad had made for my hubby but they are too small for him and too big for me. I just traced the outline of the sleeper we had with a Bic marker on the wrong side of the fabric. I also had the zipper that I kept from an old small bag I threw out. It took me about 3 hours this afternoon as I had 3 other boys running around the house and my hubby was out running errands.

The shirt

The pants

Action shot!


Of course shortly after this photo was taken it's in the wash already!

I've got pics, finally! Sorry it's taking me so long but here is my package from geekgirl1000100!
She included polyfill as packing material!

Pretty container and a nice tea tin (tea included)

Lots of awesome whimsies!

My favorites! A bookmark (the background is book pages), pretty fabric squares, a cute fat cat and a little chick, some pretty beads, a cool looking die, the little mouse and sunflower are buttons, a snowflake, a wooden flower and the tea tin.

AND of course:
Awesome quilled magnets!

I received from Solitary Cricket yesterday. Here's the box with butterflies on it and a supercute flower drawer pull and they are all in the lilac/purple family (my favorite color)!

Here are the contents

I looove the beads, I am going to have to make a few pairs of earrings. I love the car and coffee button and the super cute kitty face stamp! I can't wait to use up my goodies! Thanks for a great swap ladies and beautiful boxes from Solitary Cricket and onyxnox!

I am loving all of the matchboxes. I got mine from onyxnox yesterday but have not had a chance to post until today. I absolutely love it!
She made the matchbox, I love how she made the butterflies look like they are in flight!

The bottom of the box with dream stamped on the side

The box was stuffed, my favorite was the pendant!

I love the button charms and all of the butterflies

I love the unexpected decoration on the inside

Thank you onyxnox for a beautiful matchbox!

With some scrap scrapbook paper, glue and ribbon I made this mini first aid kit for my purse for my boys. Found plenty of inspiration on Pinterest!

I received yesterday for Perfectly Bohemian! Such an awesome package, I love everything and have a had time picking a favorite.
Here is the package upon opening, I opened it in the car (it's upside down but that's how I opened it)

Everything laid out

The hand made items, love them all! Perfectly Bohemian carved the stamps! Can't wait for my household stuff to get here (and I get my house) so I can get to crafting again!

Loooooooooove this coffee mug and camera strap, it's already on my camera


Love it all! Can't wait to put some of the whimsies on my shelves! Also got a little puzzle with tinkerbell and assembled it. That's all the pics, we are in living in temporary lodging so upload is super slow! There's 5 of us in a teeny 1 bedroom apartment so I'm kinda stressed and with a new job, this brightened my day! Thanks Perfectly Bohemian!

These were plain white canvas shoes. I love all of the painted shoes on here and wanted to try to paint a pair. I used some markers I had laying around the house. I am happy with how they turned out, but I am afraid to wear them because I don't want them to bleed, how do I seal them?

It's been a long time since I've done any crafting and an even longer time since I've posted anything. But this week I stenciled my soon to be 3rd grader a couple of shirts for school. I also made one for my 3 year old. I let him choose the stencils and the shirts and used the freezer paper method. This is the first time I've done fabric stenciling. I think I am in love with this and am going to have to make some more for all of us, I even bought a onesie for my November baby. Ok, enough talking here they are:
