I received from Alexus last week but I'm a bad bad crafter and haven't been able to sit down during daylight hours to take pics....until today! First let me say that this was a FANTASTIC swap and I had an equally fantastic partner. So now on to the goodies.

First off we have a beautiful "Ladies Yoke Cape" in summery watermelon colors. (modelled by Bertha because I'm having a fat day)

And a pic of the beautiful stitches


Next we have a reconstructed lumberjack shirt with adorable sleeves and a ruffly collar. (modelled by a friend because... yea still having a fat day)


Straight from my wists she included a fishy pendant on a pearl strand. I am in awe of your wire bending skills!


And last but not least is a free handed "Ecology is sexy" patch. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. And yes... ecology IS sexy 


Thanks again Alexus1325!

Wowie zowie all of you! Nice job!

*gently pats RangerBeth* My fat days are spent in giant sweatshirts so that I can snarl at people from the shadow of my hood, muahahaha!

I'm so glad you like everything! I hope the lumberjack shirt fits alright, cuz I had to do some guestimating from pictures of you Oh, and you didn't see the first wire fish! Poor thing...

Tamalama wields a sharpie with great skill if those planters are any indication, and butterfly barrettes are a very creative use of milk jugs

Was that everyone??? Holy cow, I guess we need a round two

The fabric for that reconned top is gorgeous!

And the newspaper-yarn-covered box has sparked my interest in newspaper yarn.

All of you clever crafters who used reclaimed materials should post your ideas in the Recyling section of the boards.

Wait for me!!!

Here are the lovely things that Jennilocker sent me, sorry I didn't upload them earlier!


Gorgeous earrings!


Awesome necklace number one...


Awesome necklace number two!


Aaaaaaaaaand, a really lovely headband (which I am wearing right now...), some really unusual button badges which I can't wait to add to bags and things, and a really cute mini yoga book.

She also included loads of chocolate, which may or may not have been eaten by the end of the evening....

I cannot believe that she sent me so much, thank you so much Jennilocker!!!!!!!!!!

Well, thank you to everyone for finishing this round and making it FLAKE-FREE! YAY!!! 

Feedback has now been given to everyone, sorry about the somewhat sluggish response times on that. Everyone should now have positives.
