April 2009 Birthday Swap

[IllusionsOfNormal]

OK, I've read the intro chapters of the Happy Hooker, but when I broke out my yarn last night the new puppy decided it was a great toy - so now I have to wait until I put the dog to bed too before trying again tonight.  I did manage a few stitches & I think it is easier than knitting!  Apparently I am a "continental knitter" (learn something new everyday!) so holding the yarn & hook felt very natural. 

HOORAY for new craft adventures!!!  Thanks again missapril!

[Belladune]

now you are going to have to post what you make now Illusions!!!

Yay! Ivy!!!  I'm so glad you love them!  The burgundy and brown ones were experimental and I'm happy with how they turned out!  I can't wait until you post pics!

[missapril]

Yay!! I'm so happy that you are liking the crochet kit (well, when you have time, between little ones and puppies)

I got some unbelievable inchies from LunaKitten!  I really don't believe that she hadn't made them before!


Alice and Wonderland (I loooove the colorful backgrounds of these, and they're playing cards!  Brilliant!


These ones are loaded with beads!  Their color and texture is amazing!


Pretty fabric flowers and brads on a hot lime green watercolored background!


Gorgeous painted trees and leaves.


The  whole lot!  These are all so different, and they're going to look so awesome on my inchie page!  I will try to update or post again when I get that all together.  LunaKitten did an awesome job!! She even sent some  chocolate goodies, which, of course, didn't make it to the photoshoot

Thanks again!!!

Luna - love your inchies!  Cute little pieces of art ... sweet.  Puffy, glad you liked the beret - I'd love to make one for myself if I lived in colder weather.  Once I figured out the directions I actually made one that looked right.  And Happy Birthday - you now share your birthday with my first granddaughter, Eden, who was born yesterday.  (BABIES ARE AMAZING!!)

Tell me ... were you Aries ladies good children or rotten children?!  Teasing  - I'm sure you're all lovely!!
