Haha that list is so true!

We keep having power cuts, which my sewing machine really isnt aprecciating. Adding in the fact its boiling hot, I think its about to die on me.

Too bad about the sewing machine AromaRageST... I just "borrowed" my mom's sewing machine and I'm hoping that it works alright!

[SewFixated]

I am also definitely having confidence issues

First off... Happy Mother's Day to all you Mothers!  My DD is taking a nap and that is the best Mother's Day gift I could have.   

I absolutely love the list and agree totally with the employees at craft/sewing stores.

I have been in the *planning* stages for my last gift for a week now.  I know what I want to do but since I have never done it before I have had a hard time trying to figure out how to do it.  I am sure it is an easy thing for someone else but, it's Greek to me.  I have been to 3 different craft stores over and over and I swear the employees there are only good for holding down the floor, if you can find one! 

After searching the web forever and asking every craft store employee, I think I finally figured out how to do it, without any help from the employees.  They actually told me they did not stock a certain item when in fact, after I searched the store for an hour, two days in a row, I found it!  Now, it's just crafting it and crafting it well!   *crossing my fingers*

I hope Diablita likes my crafting!   I should be done with my crafts this week.  I can't wait to send!

Why is it that my male cat who has never had any interest in my craft room decides today is the day to not only come in and explore but to sit right on top on Karaoke's gift.
Orange fur on everything! AHHHHHHHH

[BendyBones]

I had the same problem. My dog got hair on one of the items I made. I didn't want pick the hair off, so I just made another one.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mums in the swap!

kreestar, that list is epically correct XD

Oh man! Tomorrow will be excellent -- day off from work, and unlike these past two days, I'll be home! I foresee at least one project being finished!

i can't be so bold as to hand deliver the package. Pinkie might get a little freaked out if I did that!

Well, it would save on postage... XD
But there are few things I love more than getting a package in the mail!

Happy Mother's Day a day late to all the US moms!  (Mom's day is different for the rest of you, yes?  But I hope you all had good days regardless!)

I was fortunate enough to be spending a lot of Mother's Day in the car as a passenger.  Amazing how much crafting can be done in transit!  So I'm officially begun.  And it turned out cuter than expected! 

So I've got all my stuff planned, and should be able to get one small done each night now, and the medium finished up this weekend.  Hopefully to send Monday!  *fingers crossed!*

Keep up the good crafting, ladies!

[DanniQuee]

I', about 90% done with everything. I need to pick up some more materials for my final project, but after a dry run of the project on toss away material, I think finishing the actual project will run pretty smooth!

I'm really excited to send, and I hope Sparky1982 likes her loot. I'm also totally excited to receive. I LOVE surprises!

[lindyv321]

I am officially done!  I will be trying to get it all packed and shipped today but I gotta work so we'll see.  It will definately be going out this week sometime.....  Happy late mothers day to all you wonderful mama's out there!
