I received a package from timpani~jax this week.  She made me a beautiful little bird embroidery to hang on my wall.  It's just so perfect, I absolutely love it.  She also included some bead soup for me to play with.  A fantastic gift, thanks partner.

Pretty embroidery! I have your wallet finished, it just needs a snap! Then I will find the right size box and stuff it and send it!!

[TroubleT]

Timpani~jax, your embroidery is beautiful!

I got an awesome package in the mail from Canada today, and when I opened it I got a lovely knitting needle roll and some tie-dye from 6iggle!





Sorry for the bad pictures, my electricity bills through the roof so my lighting is shoddy >.<



Tie dye that came in french navy, leaf green, radiant pink, ultra violet, sahara sun, and tartan green.

Thanks so much 6iggle!

Yay! I'm glad it arrived safely.
I took some pics before I sent it out

The green fabric is actually upcycled from this skirt. It wasn't too pretty as a skirt but I loved the embroidery and the beads! Since you wanted a roll to take with you on camping trips, I thought the nice green and flowery embroidery was really nice:


here it is again, opened, along with some stitch markers I hope you'll enjoy that I received in another swap (I don't knit much anymore)


some detailing on the inside:


and rolled up:


I was quite happy with how it turned out.
Hope you enjoy the dyes!

ooh, great shirts!

So, anybody want to organize March?  I had originally been planning to do it, but I am a bit burnt out on this swap, it's great and I enjoy it, but it is a lot of work and I don't want to become a grumpy organizer lol!

I might be up for organizing March.

6iggle, you did a great job on that needle roll! The colors are gorgeous!
