Christmas in July STASH BUSTER Gallery

[superhooker]

Wow - you guys are totally setting that  bar really really high!
I know this swap has basic requirements and after that it is up to you and your partner - but dang guys?!  Do any of you ever sleep??!!!  That is just insanely fantastic!

Now I know superhooker has a clone - really she does - it is more like an android that she powers up at night and does a lot of the household chores so that she can focus on crafting... and she has an android that wanders about during the day that does the rest of the normal daily activities - mind you she does have two androids - one that is at work and the other that is in its battery recharging pod when the other is working - and this is of course how she does it.

Really.  It is the only explanation

Okay.  I have to go turn off my own android and set it to sleep. Alas I only have one and it isn't a very good one.  It just stands around and looks pretty and refuses to do any housework while I sleep.  Miserable good for nothing android!

haha, I wish!!!

I don't have an android to clean, my house is just messy mosty of the time.

I received from bendybones!
She sent a box of super fun goodness. Yay!
First, there are 2 cute, cute crocheted birds. Also, 2 crocheted washcloths in a holder.

shrinkydinks galore! My roommate is from Germany and thinks it's hilarious that I LOVE garden gnomes [gartenzwerg] but she liked these little guys too There was another pair of bird earrings but I'm wearing them already.

she also made me 2 crocheted hats! I took the pictures last night when I was gross looking, but here is the red one. I'll have to get a picture of the green one later! I love the cute little flower on it. It's RAINING today in SF so I'll get to use them sooner than I thought 

and finally, a present for the boyfriend: A really awesome mario cross stitch. He claimed it before he even knew it was from him, so that's a good sign! He's moving this week so it's his housewarming gift.


THANK YOU, bendybones! You must have looked at my profile, huh?  I really love it all (especially those birds!) and I will be getting your stuff out to you soon!

[BendyBones]

Oh, fabulous. I'm glad you like everything!

[BendyBones]

I also suck ass at putting stuff in frames.

EEP! I got my package today!! IT'S SO FREAKING AWESOME!! I just can't believe how much Deanna made for us. I had one of these http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=225325.0 on my wish list. She had mentioned something about making one so when the mail lady handed me one of these small flat rate boxes I was thinking well I guess she didn't have time to make one. I don't reckon a canvas would fit in this little box. So I bring it inside, open it and find a letter. She says there's an apron for each of the kids, little pillows for daughter's doll baby, some pajama pants for the boy, a chore chart (yippee), mickey mouse placemats, reversible fabric bowls, and a couple singlet style shopping bags. I'm thinking **She fit all that stuff in this little box?** On to pics:

First the coolest Singlet Style Shopping Bags. I love the colors. And it's so funny how the pattern is opposite on either bags. 


Next the super cool aprons she made for the kids. You can't really see it on my son's but there's little pockets along the front. I put it on him and he immediately started twirling.



The kids were dancing in them so the pic is a little blurry.


Then the super cool Mickey Mouse placemats (4 of them) and fabric bowls




And the super cool doll pillows for daughter (SHE LOVES THEM! She has the cat laying on them right now.)



Pajama pants for the boy that daughter will probably steal and he won't care. She still tries to wear his 18-24 month pajamas even though she's a 4T.


And the WAY SUPER COOLEST THING I'VE EVER RECEIVED for me!! You're gonna have to tell me how you made this. I love this so much better that the canvas one. I loved the idea but really didn't like the magazine pics so I'm so thrilled with this one. And I love how it's not all bulky. It's perfect! THANKS DEANNA!!



And you put a dowel through the top and hang it on hooks in the wall. And she sent extra cards for me to add more chores if I think of some.

And Everything All Together:


She made the doll pillows and mickey mouse placemats since we are Disney fans. Deanna, you are so sweet. We love everything you made for our family. I'm doubting if I made enough now. I might have to whip up 10 more things real quick. hehe. Thanks so much! The kids said they LOVE YOU and THANK YOU!!

Those are great packages, BendyBones and deannalynn06!  You both did an awesome job!  I especially like the Mario cross-stitch and the shopping bags.  The print on the pj pants is too cute!
