Well I love you too! 

Nah, I know you were talking about the hair stuff organizer, which is really really cool!  And I love that the pockets are clear so you can see everything in them.  Very nifty.

Also, I can't begin to imagine the time and skill that goes into making something like that batik artwork.  Beautiful!  It reminds me of why I love batik fabrics. 

A beautiful package!

I was wondering what you use for the clear panels and how does it sew on a machine?

I LOVE the batik. I wish I knew how to do that.
I also really liked the coasters with their container from the previous package.

Any tips on how to frame a piece of fabric- the batik?
I was thinking of basting it by hand to a larger piece of fabric which I could staple to the cardboard frame insert... anyone have a better idea?

first ...love the batik...its great...

and ideas to frame it......you could either make a wood frame or get a plain canvas the size you need and stretch the batik over it, securing the fabric to the back of the frame.... ive had great luck with both of these methods while framing/mounting fabric....

Thanks on all the compliments guys, this has been a fun swap and I'm stoked that everything was well enjoyed by my partner ms goddess =)

I've framed batik in used goodwill picture frames, the glass holds it flat which is nice, I also just pin em to my walls which also does just fine for me sooo iunno =P

the clear pockets are just clear vinyl from jo-ann craft store, it comes in rolls like fabric, is pretty thin, and easily sews on machine or by hand.

all packages looking beautiful everyone!
Happy springtime!
