Second AWESOME package I received:

She sent me supplies to start painting with watercolors. Which is pretty freaking awesome, because I had been really thinking about trying painting! I even had several watercolor websites bookmarked. I also got more yarn to add to my stash, because oh, I love yarn. Maddie has already claimed the purple furry stuff, saying she wanted legwarmers for dance class. Not shown is what she got - a really neat craft 'cup' for kids that had the materials to make several different projects - a necklace, a window cling, etc. Maddie pounced on that the second she saw it.


And these are really neat - a PORTABLE watercolor set, blank postcards to be painted on, and blank cards. I'm really excited about sitting down and making them.


MY SUPER AWESOME PACKAGE FROM MY SUPER AWESOME PARTNER!

The post office was holding on to my package for some reason they couldn't explain, so I did not get my package from the lovely mserocks until recently. But it was totally worth the wait!

I opened the packaged to find everything tucked inside an awesome tote bag that she made:


One of the first things was a goody-bag for my daughter, who was THRILLED:


She was like "She sent CANDY?? She is SO NICE!"

Close up of the goodies:


I got a spice catalog and some nummy spices:


And the local items which include a t-shirt that I love, which says "Made In Texas". Pretty awesome, because I was born in Texas:


Wicked socks and some chocolate that I consumed.... embarrassingly quickly!


And last but not least, a very pretty dragonfly picture frame, more yarn (because everyone needs more yarn) and a dyeing kit which I am VERY eager to try out. Unfortunately, the picture file was somehow corrupted?

 As you can see, I was quite spoiled. THOROUGHLY spoiled!

The ultra cool last package (I'm sad to see this over)

the allrything

Slingmomma's Faves:

cuts from her favorite fabrics, I have to figure out what amazing thing to make from them. Her fave herb is garlic, I love garlic too but understand why she didn't want to include a clove of garlic, instead she made me this cute magnet which I promptly stuck on the fridge door for holding up important photos and notes saying I'm out of garlic again.  Her favorite chocolate bar (she's a chocoholic). 

Slingmomma spoiled me with these beautiful handmade items:

A very pretty necklace that fits wonderfully.


This was the first pendant of this kind that Slingmomma has made. I love it! (I love trees and was originally the organizer of the tree swap but had to back out of doing so due to mass amounts of school work). I love how she used some of the beads I sent her in the last package.


This embroidery piece is so wonderful. I've decided to make my craft room a tree sanctuary this beautiful tree is going to be the first hanging.

Some detail (sorry about the shadow)









The Ever Amazing First and Second Package combined from Slingmomma!

Everything came wrapped nicely in bright pink tissue paper with little instructional notes written on them.


The Where I am From.  A Super Awesome keychain and newspaper.


She made this ridiculously cute/awesome mini scrapbook.  And she loves frogs so I received this cutie handmade by her.

 
Between Taoj and Slingmomma I have no excuse why I shouldn't know how to crochet. These two fantastic ladies have set me up for success!


A knitting kit... I love the hedgehog needle book and pincushion (complete with instructions), and the quilt tutorial/ fabric is incredible.


What Slingmomma does best!  I love love love love this bag.  So does Panda Yu. He says it's his overalls.

I was very spoiled and love everything!
