WWP Ostara Basket Round 26 Gallery

A candle swap does have potential!  I'm not sure if I will have time for another swap just now (lots of crafting deadlines in my personal life are looming!), but if I do then I would be interested.

I am in for Beltane no matter what, but the candle swap sounds lovely. 

I love these swaps.

With a little delay, here are the pics of the wonderful package I got from RippledWater!
I feel soooooo terribly spoiled, I tell ya!

My cute basket, containing three eggs. One with assorted whimsies, one with wild flower seeds and one with flower bulbs. I'll plant/sow them as soon as possible! Can't wait to see what lovelies will pop up! There was also a piece of retro easter fabric in the basket which is just adorable!

And a venyl bag, directly from my wists, too! It's so super awesome! Perfect size!


Thank you soooo much, RippledWater! This was a great swap and you are a fantastic partner!

I think that's my favourite basket of the swap, RippledWater.  Pretty, simple and very practical. And I love the cat-and-leaves design on the bag!

Got some good ideas for Beltane whatever type of swap we do.
As I'm away at the end of April on retreat I'll be posting early for a change for this one ;0)

Hey All! I received from Morrigan the other day! pictures are coming in a few. My camera decided to disappear and then die. Roar. Anyhow, I love all of baskets so far!! I think my favorite items from each basket are the crocheted broom sticks by Monnie (I definitely want a pair of those  ), the crocheted Goddess and bunny egg by Radmom (I wish I could make me some of those), the mobile by wulf (so clever, I don't have any kids but I want one for me lol), the tarot box by Spaz (it's so awesome. I love all the whimsies!), the horns by impchild (must see an action shot at some point by the way!), the basket and eggs by grimscreed (they're so colorful!), the book by manykaye ( I want to make one at some point but I haven't the patience, I'm sure of it), the candles and beaded necklace by mangospanker (i need to learn how to make dipped candles. I love the color purple that they turned out to be!!), and definitely the eggs from whileitsraining (they're so pretty!!!). All of the packages are sssoooo GREAT! 

I can't wait for Beltaine!! A candle swap would be neat. It would give me a chance to learn to make my own candles! And to buy the supplies for it. Unless I'm making it for someone else I never make anything for me. Either way, any kind of swap for Beltaine is going to be great. I'm definitely in!

Thanks for the compliment Wulf! The design on the bag is from her wists. I didn't come up with it. I'm just really good at "monkey see, monkey do" in the craft world. lol 

I'll be back in a few with pictures from my awesome package!

ok so here's the whole lot!

Crocheted eggs!!!!! I love them soooooo much!!!

Close up of the others! one has a star!!! I heart stars!! That's my favorite shape!


SOAP! I love home made soap so much. It's all I use now. I usually special order it from a local goat farm that makes their own. I'm excited to get some that were made just for me. They smell so wonderful!!! They are lavender and chamomile (two of my favorites!). I love the goddess mold she used. 


Incense! It made the whole box smell amazing when I opened it up 


And these are sugar eggs. They are traditional to be given in Switzerland and they are so delicious. I had to stop myself from eating them all before I took the photo. And they came in the cutest tin ever!


Everything was absolutely great! Thanks so much Morrigan!

I love the hand painted offering bowl! The colors are really pretty and the bowl itself has a great design. 

and Morrigan do you have the pattern you used for those hanging eggs? If so would you mind sharing? Love them!

Those crocheted eggs are utterly adorable!  I <3 them!
