Small Mystery swap Gallery

[klum78]

I received my small mystery swap package yesterday, from Klum78 I love it, and she made way over the 5 points!!! She sent me cute kitty ?pincushions?  but they have a clothespin inside of them so they can pinch onto stuff, some super duper cool long dangly earrings (thread wrapped), a GREAT pincushion, some neato crochet patterns, and a bar of great smelling homemade soap!! Thanks klum78

I assumed you would know what to do with the kitties, they were on your wist!    I love MareMare's soaps.  I had done a personal swap with her and received 8 bars.  We are down to our last three, well, two now.  It was hard to give up but I saw that you liked handmade soaps so I thought I should share the goodness.  The earrings are supposed to look like yarn balls, maybe I didn't do a great job.  You can see the ones I mimicked here:

Thos cat pincushions are delightful. Is there a tut for them?

I think this is the same cat pincushion pattern.

Thanks for the pattern.

What type of clothes peg did you use?

[mom2blu]

the cats are cute! Are they just to use as clothespins?


I received today!!!!!!!!! My partner was Red Fumes I got a lovely big purse, she dubbed it the "marshmallow" bag! I can see why. Also a nice half apron and a little felt rabbit (who I adore.) I don't read cursive well, so she can correct me if I'm wrong here, but his name  is Mr Weewoo!

Pictures to come soon!

Did anyone else receive today!?!?!?!?!?

[klum78]

Yes that is the pattern I used for the cats.  I just used regular sized clothespins that I had laying around.  Just be sure to leave a large hole for turning, otherwise you will not be able to fit the pin in.  I know from experience!   

I really don't know what you would use them for.  Decoration?  Pin cushion?  Not sure.  They were fun to make though.  I am glad that they actually look like kitties to someone other than myself, my husband couldn't tell what they were supposed to be.

I'm so happy everything arrived safely! And yes, I did name him Mr. Weewoo Sorry my cursive is so hard to read, I get lots of complaints, my teachers particularly!

[mom2blu]

even if you had the best cursive in the world I still wouldn't be able to read it!!!

(also sorry I didn't write you directly, I was going to do it later, aka now! lol)

I can't believe there were no other receivers today!

I can't believe there were no other receivers today!

I think the mailman skipped our street today... I didn't get the mail and no one else in my house said they did.. and I didn't see any mail in the neighbors' mailboxes (the ones I could see from our porch)
