I got it!!  Pics coming tomorrow as today is a sucky, crummy, rainy day.  We haven't had sun all day, really...blah... As an incentive, I'm going to keep the box sealed until I can take pictures.  Thanks so much!

[Samsara]

Looking forward to seeing it all!

Pics taken yesterday!!  I should be posting them today when I get home from work   I LOVE the hoop art soooooo much!!!

[TheSapphireMoon]

PICS galore!!!  Here they come....


The whole lot of it!!  Dishclothes have already been put into rotation in the kitchen!


My absolute FAVE item in the package!  This must've taken FOR-EVER  WOW!  I MUST redo my crafted art wall in my craft room/office and when I do, this will be mounted ASAP.

Here's a few stitching closeups, the basketweave stitch is my fave:

 


Fingerless mitts!!  Soft and such a fun motley yarn.  I'll be wearing these ASAP when it gets cold around here.


Mushroom posse...LOL!  I love the brown/blue dude in the front best


Hemp sandals!!!  YAY!!!  When I took them out of the box they looked way wider than needed, but they totally fit great   I wasn't sure what to do with the ties, I criss crossed them behind at my ankle and tied in front.  The slipper tops fit great that I don't know that I need to tie them anyway  I didn't take a pic of the bottom, but they are painted with a ?rubber? for being able to wear them outside.  mommmabear, please elaborate on the soles here if you would.

Thank you SOOO very much!!  TOTALLY worth the wait

[mommabear1963]

You are welcome.  I am glad that you are pleased.  I want to mention the wash clothes were made out of a yarn called "lava lamp twist", I thought that fitting.

Ok the bottom of the shoes is a product that is usually used to dip the handles of tools to rubberize them. You can get it at most auto supply stores.

That's so awesome!!!  I think I had a container of that once with intentions of dipping....somethin g....in it   I can't remember what, and it's been long gone from my house.

LOL!  Lava lamp twist!  That's so cool.  Thanks again for an awesome swap, Samsara, see you next year for another great round

[Samsara]

That's a seriously cool package! That hoop art must have taken ages and the sandals look so cormfortable....are they soft Sapph?
