Yesterday I received my swap package for the "Swap what you have" swap (organized by Katie). My partner, Anina, did a wonderful job. I'll be able to use all of it! The wildflower seeds will be enjoyed by my mom. She planted some this spring and they turned out well. There are also some blank note cards, fabric, buttons and beads, paper, and ribbon. It's all put away ready to pull out at a moments notice. Anina, thanks so much!
And if the swap wasn't enough, I was the lucky 100th post winner on Anina blog! Lightning can strike the same spot twice!
How did you know I have been wanting a tissue holder for my purse?!? Saves me from making one now. The tissues and pen were put in my purse right away, and if I could think of a logical reason to have the orange pincushion in my purse, it would be in there too. I was thinking the other day that I needed a pincushion just for at my ironing board, so that's it's new home. It makes me happy just looking at it!I also finished up my summer swap package and it was put in the mail today. I had a lot of fun putting this swap together. Even though my partner, Elise, doesn't have a blog we have been emailing back and forth and I had enough to go on to make it really personalized to her and her hobby interests. I can't wait til she gets it!
Now onto summer time sewing. I better make those skirts I had planned on before the summer is over.
Wow! You take lovely photos! I'm glad you're enjoying everything. I can't wait to get mine. (Running to the mailbox now...)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you got some great surprises! That tissue holder and pin cushion are both so pretty too. And yes, I need to work on skirts too. At the rate I'm going, my fall clothes will look mighty summery!
ReplyDeletewow! lucky you. Look at all your great things!! Anina sure spoiled you.
ReplyDeleteWow! Aren't you the lucky one? Looks like you have a lot of inspiration and the best pin cushion ever!
ReplyDeleteThe blogger thing is a pain in the rear. You have to point your cursor at the very top of the title box, with the cursor touching the top line to get a cursor to appear there.
ReplyDeleteHow very very fun! Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat Swap!
ReplyDeleteSupposedly blogger fixed the title thing. In case it happens again: if you are in a form, you can tab from field to field. You can also shift+tab (hold down shift and press tab) to go backwards through the form fields. All I did to get to the title field is put my cursor in the post body text area, then hold down shift and press tab. That will put your cursor in the title field. This will work with any form.
Great stuff! I'm hoping you'll post photos of what you sent to your summer swap partner once she receives it. I love seeing what people receive in their swaps. :)
ReplyDeleteI adore your pin cushion. You got some fun stuff! I am not nearly ready to send out my summer swap, I guess I better go and get myself busy!
ReplyDeleteyou lucky, lucky girl. that orange pin cushion is amazing.
