Shop the Swap 47 **discussion thread**

Ah, good to know.  Maybe I'll mail it on Sat then. 
I can't tell you how scared I was when your package wasn't delivered on Fri...I thought it had been, but that the wind carried it away.  We had strong winds that afternoon that took our garbage cans 4 houses away.

Oh, and I am finally getting around to making some tree buttons.  Got the hubby to cut down the cherry tree branch I was eyeing.    I hope to get them cut soonish and drilled and into my shop.

Ooo, tree buttons sound like just what I need! I'm suddenly obsessed with making a nature-themed wall hanging (or some other kind of FO) based on the Teesha Moore-style panels folks like sheepBlue and Phizzy have been rocking as bags and book covers (I have a few other themed projects in the works with them, as well). Seriously, my mind wouldn't stop racing last night with thoughts about it!  I'll also be seeking small embroideries or appliques, like hoop art but without the hoops. I disengaged the felt hoop art I received from SB from its hoop to add to this project, and I'd like to commend her on her solid finishing skills -- that thing was so thoroughly attached/adhered to its hoop it took about half an hour to get it removed without damaging the art! I also have an embroidered bird panel from corduroy cat (which I claimed several rounds back) and embroidered felt birdies that Ruby Tuesday sent me as a bonus, along with at least one wooded bird button I claimed from her at some time, so the birdies will all be well-represented, and I might have to felt some eggs for them. 

atsuko, I'm really glad you're offering your Cricut services! Anyone who has a special crafting tool, I think it would be marvelous to offer its use in your shop. Especially machine-embroidery people, if we have any such people left.

I got a brand new BabyLock embroidery machine last week!  I'm planning to join this next round.

Hehe, obsessions are fun Calluna!  Can't wait to see your version of the Teesha Moore-style panels!

Woo!  A new round!

I love that idea!! I could do some tiny embroidery. I also already have one Teesha pillow already made with a butterfly on it. I could add it to my shop for .25pts

MissingWillow! I'm excited to see you back in! Can't wait to see what embroidery items you have to offer!

I might offer some of mine, as well.

I'm glad for MissingWillow's return, too!
