Crochet hook holder!

With the bracelets! Yay!

Awesome dog toy octopus!!!

Here is Elmer playing and getting ready to gut it...

Here is Elmer looking innocent. He still wants to play, but anything with stuffing has no chance...I'm not sure where the eyes went....

Here is the awesome stuff I got from willowfairy76:

Rainbow cowl:


Blue crocheted hat (it has an awesome swirly pattern that is hard to see in this photo):


And a hat and cowl set inspired by my pinterest:


She also sent a t-shirt vest but it was virtually impossible to get a good pic of it.  WillowFairy, if you have one maybe you could post it?

I love love LOVE the hats.  Hats never fit me the way I want them to so I never wear them, but these are perfect!  I have already been wearing them and will be all winter long!!  Thank you!

Okay, well the first time I tried to post this, my browser crashed, so on to my second attempt.
ilovemybrachiosauru s sent me an another package!
Look at this big box!

First thing I opened, a very popular item for this swap. I loved it! I go to the library all the time. It's funny because I actually pinned this from her!

Some treats for my kitties. They LOVED the mousies!

An amazing map picture frame!! I LOVE THIS! Now I just need a worldly photo of me to go in it! She also sent some extra maps and an atlas for future crafts! Yay!


A harry potter journal

A fantastic little pincushion jar; love the fabric!

A little tea holder, I've wanted one of these forever and she filled it with some yummy teas!

Love the fabric on the inside

A cute mug cozy

and one of my most favorite items she sent were to make my own terrarium. I LOVE terrariums!!!!!


And tada!

Thank you so much! The package was so thoughtful and you really sent things I love!

Also ilovemybrachiosauru s, the pictures you tried posting didn't show up for me, so I just wanted to post some other pics of the afghan I made because I am so proud of it. The colors were much more vibrant in person, but didn't photograph well for me

What a lovely blanket!

[charlieandwillow]

How big is the afghan? It's beautiful, but I can't gauge it's size from the pics. It's making me miss the knitted lap blankets my gran used to make when I was little...
That pincushion jar is adorable (and I need one, if anyone could point me in the direction of a good tutorial for making one I'd sure be grateful!).
Also, I kind of love that so far there have been three different book totes with the same Sir Mix-a-Lot inspired quote...

I didn't measure, but it's definitely more of a lap blanket. Roughy half the size of the comforter you can see in the bed. It turned out really heavy though!

And I've loved a the big book bags too! Very popular!
