Christmas Stocking Swap 5 *-*-GALLERY-*-*

[eye_on_sparrow]

ZOMG, that stocking is awesome!  Spookshowbaby, where ever did you find that fabric?!?!?!  Also, that little clothespin doll is so adorable!

Thank you! The skully fabric was from JoAnn's last year - I bought a bunch on clearance after the holidays.

I'm so glad you liked everything, Mollie!!!

I am not a skully fan at all but that Christmas skull fabric is really cute.  I love the clothespin doll it is adorable.  And I do agree this is a fantastic gallery.  Lots of talent going on in here.

Wooooooohoooo got my package from Sherrie B. today! It actually arrived before Thanksgiving, but I only picked it up today.

Here is everything:

Let's see.. on the left, we have TWO stockings (in case I didn't like the one she made! Insanity!). Above the stockings is a cute little green hand sewing repair kit, in green, my favorite color. Then we have the pumpkin spice scenty packets, which were scattered throughout to make everything all Christmassy scented. To the right and top is a mug that came with a handy dandy magnet notepad (particularly awesome because ours just ran out), next to a bath fizzy (hecks yes bath fizzy). Then there's a storage/laundry basket, that I actually used tonight to do laundry. Very useful for us college students. There's also a weekly planner, a Christmassy dishcloth (in the kitchen right now!), a Christmassy bath scrubbie, and a little post-it notepad. You can also see the little crocheted sockies that I put on the second I pulled them out. Here is a better picture of them:

Well, the tracking number said I got my package from The Chi_Ha last week, but I think the post office forgot to put it out because I didn’t get it until yesterday. So, finally, here are the goodies.

Stocking, candy canes, chocolate orange (those are the best!), 2 paper ornaments, a scarf holder and 2 neck warmers, one for me and one for hubby.


Knee-high stripy socks, which I looove! Also, bird note cards, leaf earrings and a notebook. Since I have a kiddo on the way any time now, she decorated a onsie and threw in 2 kids Christmas books.


I also got flavored hot cocoa. But here is where the story turns…the post office decided to break stuff. L 2 mugs, some of my candy canes and all the glitter.


But the good news is I took the broken mug pieces and saved them for a future mosaic project. Ah, such is life with the post office.

Oh no, stellato_escuro! Great package anyway! I like the idea of a scarf holder.... I need one of those hahah!

Bummer about the broken items.  The rest looks great though.

And other packages are looking good, too.  I keep losing track of what's going into the gallery, but I'm having fun getting caught up.  This is a great gallery.

YUP...she's a craftster...only crafty people can see an upside to broken things--& reuse them elsewhere

I did not participate in this swap, but I love the beauty this swap possesses.  You guys are so talented.  I love all the gifts, I am giddy like these were my things.

[superhooker]

superhooker... those ornaments look great ..... I think you need a tree skirt to match... maybe something besides a white sheet ......

I know, right?  I had to put that sheet down so the tree stand wouldn't scratch up the top of my cedar chest.  It will look so much nicer when the tree is properly dressed!

YES!!! I finally have a few minutes to get to post my pics!! Princessblueberry is a GREAT partner, and never disappoints!!

First: She made 2 big ziplocks full of awesome fudge!! Obviously, they didn't make it to the photoshoot too yummy.  So much so that one of my dogs got into some *facepalm*


Here are my boys begging for their actual treats, some bone shaped faux-chocolate chip treats!  Icky (the black one, my baby) is sticking his tongue out for it.


Baby leggings!! I love these, they're so handy.


Action shot of the happy bunny leggings!  And the cute crochet bib (I crochet too, and have never made a bib. But I will now, it is really absorbent!)


Another action shot of the leggings.  And I like to share my smiley Lila


Strait of my wists, the greatest circular knitting needle holder ever!! It velcros shut and even has a velcro pocket!  Love it.


Cloth diapers!  They are almost too gorgeous to use!!


Another one straight off my wists, a beautiful scarf holder!  Now I can hang them up instead of them being balled up in the mud room.


(My pictures are all sorts of out of order) Not 1, but 4 pretty stockings!!  I can't wait to display all of these!


And the etc.  There is a scrapbook, lots of hello kitty things (happy meal toys, stickers, a dry erase board, winter gloves), crochet flower pins, 2 beaded necklaces, and all sorts of paper goods and ATCs, I have been dying to make some!!  My glass of juice also ended up in this picture 

I forgot to get a picture of the carseat cover, also a wist, and the most awesome thing ever!  I'll try to get one soon


Thank you so much J Darling!! I love everything, and so happy to have you as a partner!!
