Whedonverse Swap round 8 gallery

[Moriwen]

Hey guys,

After a series of family based shenanigans (I had to help host my Aunt's birthday extravaganza) and the boyfriend ninja'ing the camera from me, I've finally gotten pictures of the PHENOMENAL package I was sent from the fantabulous titaniumhip! I'll be posting pics in a few hours, once I get dinner into me and drop my kitten off to be groomed! <3

[The Raging Sloth]

I received my wonderful box of Whedonverse goodness from Murple a little while ago but hadn't been able to post until now. I love my stuff so much! Murple did such a good job. You should be very proud! It was funny because it was all shoved in such a small box. I was amazed!
First off I pulled out two wonderfully done amigurumi dolls of Spike and Drusilla from Buffy!



They are just wonderful!

Next I pulled out this beautifully embroidered little pillow made out of a vintage handkerchief. I was so amazed at how wonderfully delicate the writing looked! It's a saying Drusilla says from Buffy.

 

Next was two boxes. The first little box had this gorgeous Drusilla inspired necklace!



and last but CERTAINLY not least I received a amazingly hand crocheted rock necklace right off my pinterest! I was so amazed by it! I've been wearing this almost every day. I'm in love!





Thank you SO SO MUCH, Murple!

Love the Jaynestown bag and Drusilla's necklace! The crocheted rock is pretty cute, too.

[Murple]

Yay! So glad you liked everything Raging Sloth. My MIL packed the boxed for me. I attribute her packing skills to her having been a military wife and moving a family of 5 every 3 years for 20 years. She can cram a month's worth of clothes into a tiny suitcase.

Spike didn't turn out as well and I'd hoped, but he still looks pretty darn good.

After an agonizing wait (stupid, slow Canada Post) I received my package! Everything is beautiful! The elephant and the altoid tin will come to work with me The Serenity silhouette will be hung on husband's office wall.

What's peeking out at me?

Serenity!

Stickers for thieving little hands!

Beautiful Memory box


Surprise!

Serenity

And this sweetie!

[Moriwen]

Alright, this took way too long and I feel like a wretched person, but it's been hands down the worst possible week. (Family drama at the party, the chemo and attempted break-in made it so this package was my only highlight!) So belated yet spectacular, behold my pile of epic shinies!!



My Spike Noodle!!

This lil stuffie has not left my side since he came out of the box. Yes, that means I chatted to the police about the break-in with a plushie William the Bloody friend. He's the perfect nuzzly size and the perfect snuggly fabric! I LOVE HIM, SO MUCH!!! <3<3<3


The next one, is a four-fer...

I got Russian Core Four dolls!! I swear, I have never seen something so absolutely fantastic! The detail on these is Incredible! And look at the little Giles! LOOK AT HIM! Luffles Him! He's so cute, wif his lil glasses!!!!



Buffy!



Willow!!



Xander!!!



Giles!!!!




And next we have, MY FIRST HOOP!!! OMG, and it's a Spike hoop! It's hanging over my bed next to the pic I have of James and me at the Skyline Lounge in NYC. <3<3<3 I love it, I love it so hard!



And a new journal! With a picture from one of my favorite episodes, Hush!! :pictures Buffy gestures wildly at not being so frumpy looking: Oh, and it needs to be stated... my journal IS A STUFFIE!!!



And last, but far from least, A plushie Mr. Pointy!!! It's the exact size of a stake with actual wood graining on it!!! I'm stunned and super giddy and I love every single piece!

Hands down, best Swap ever! I feel so spoiled! <3

I love the Firefly hoop! And that little Spike is just adorable (I'm sorry to hear you had such a bad week ).

[fancybutch]

Wow, the Spike and Drusilla amis are perfection! so cute.

Love the firefly outline hoop simple and effective, great.

Nesting dolls!  and

Spike quote cross stitch, fantabulous!

I see Spike is getting a lot of love in this swap

[calixita]

Love the hoops!  And the Spike noodle is adorable!
The crocheted rock necklace is intriguing!  I want one for myself!

How much awesome craft has come out of this swap?!?

I love the ami's of Spike and Drusilla - ami's are hard to get right (for me anyway!!) And for ages I have wanted to do a crochet covered rock but couldn't figure out how.

The collaged box and altoid tin are magnificent - I am trying to track down something like an altoid tin here in Australia as I want to have a go myself. The Serenity hoop is great as well

How cute are those nesting dolls - where do you get the blanks for those?  The cross-stitich made me chuckle (oh Spike!). And  nice embroidered stuffie.

How much craftiness can people have
