oh man...my ATC for the same project sucks in comparison...

That is one wonderful ATC, sheepblue--and I love your printed cards!

[bookstorebabe]

Sheepblue is amazing.

[QueenNinjaMonkey]

I love that bush embroidery, the pink and white afghan and the unicorn pillow!

I'm finally done with the rather large hoop I was working on for the Dia De Los Muertos swap. It's done with needle punch.



Next to a can of soup for size reference

[indigo_roses]

sheepBlue, I love the print and the ATC! You definitely thought outside of the box for that.

OMG!! "Embrace the Bush".... "Pocket Jareth"..."Porthole Shadowbox"... these are my favorites. I want all of them lol.

I need to figure out what all I've done. My original list of 50 hasn't gotten very far... but I've done TONS of stuff for craft swaps. Heck... I just mailed off... I can think of 10 distinct items (hand spun/dyed wool I'm counting as one, though I had probably 12 different mixes). There's probably more, I'd have to go through and count what's in the photos.

10 stand alone items: 12 spun fibers in various fibers, dyes, etc. so 22 total.

I have been going through my list and working out how many things I have actually acheived this year and I am up to 28 I believe! Makes me feel muvh more productive having actually kept count. I still have to dig up a few pics which I think DH took on his phone, but here's a quilt that I posted on the quiltalong thread but don't think I put up here. (Sorry if I did, but I couldn't see it in my post listing).

I had this in my mind to make before my nephew was born and have had the fabric since not long after he was... he's two in January! 
Here's one side


and the other


It was never intended to be double sided, but when I chose the fabric I already had the pattern in mind and I had to get the panel, so it became what it is! Took me forever to do, as I procrastinated, had no sewing space for a time and at one point I admit I did just "forget" it because it was annoying me! I think it's about 48" square.

I also have some things for a personal swap that I will post once I have sent and they have been received.

And finally, a question for crocheters (if that's the correct term?), when blocking something using just water, how long do you leave it pinned out and does it matter if the water is cold/warm?

[alwaysinmyroom]

I know for knitting, you can only block non-acrylic...and it is done when the wool is dry.

Love your quilt!

indigo--cute little ornaments!  Love the teeny knitted sweater!!  What size needles did you use?  The smallest I have is 0 dpns.

eclecticdreamer...w ould love to see some of your spun stuff...do you sell it or do personal swaps?

QNM--that is a gorgeous hoop...I would also love to learn needlepunch...I have the supplies...just need to jump in, I guess.

I made a few cupcake liner trees...easy and fast...and so many liners now on sale!
