Some Fun Things

This is what I sent a swap friend, the little scrubbies are so much fun to make. They are the Japanese twist patterns, and then I made some napkin rings to match.... :)

The before and after of felting my little bag...I loved this yarn but was disap

pointed when it came from my hooks and yarn monthly kits from Annie's and there was no label or identification as to the name or brand it was...

I made these little flag pins with pins.. :) I love this as a cute small little gift to give a friend or g-daughter... :)

Summer Exchange Party and Games

It's summer and we had our summer exchange party with a "Beach" theme this year for my stitching club....8 gals showed up and we had a complete blast....played some fun crochet and knit games, and contests, along with our "kit" exchange,[each person brought the yarn, pattern, and materials to complete a project] that was fun. I made up a story with left, right, and across in it and every time I said those words you had to pass your package in that direction. Then when the story ended whatever package was in front of you was yours. All packages were in "grab" bag style so you didn't know what you got till you opened it.... I got a wonderful pink floral bag filled with older Crochet magazines, yarn, and a pattern for a pretty shawl....yippeee....I also win the game and ended up with 21 skeins of yarn!!! We played a simular game with dice of Left, Center, Right.....that is a blast. Everyone starts with 3 skeins of yarn or $3 or 3 quarters, and then you throw the die until one person is left with a skein and the rest are in the middle...and that person left was ME!!!!!!

Some New Swap Projects I Made

I am in crochetswapbuddies and was in a "small Ami" swap so I decided to make my partner a little mouse in pink. She came out so cute... And she sent me the cutest frog!!

I am also in a Yummy Recipe Swap and we had to make something to do with this month's theme of "Cooking Tips" I had fun and made 2 crockpot recipes for breakfast and then made a whole sheet of cooking tips. So I decided to crochet and stuff a little tea bag. I also beaded the words tea on the

smaller tea square. I stuck a flower on it and finished it off with a netted bag to hold it.

I Finished my Chelshire Cat!!!

I finally finished my Chelshire Cat I designed for my swap pal Craftsty....I sure hope she likes it. It was a bit difficult to get it to look like the photo and I had to do some "frogging" but alas he is completed and mailed!

I think he turned out pretty cute and I even wrote down the pattern this time. Once I get it formalized it will be available... This swap was from the April "Alice in Wonderland" ....

Swapping Stuff

These items, cell phone pocket and crocheted pen I made for an online swap partner for April....hope she likes them. These are some of the prettiest glass beads I got from one of my swap friends....I also got these cute little skottie dogs, aren't they just the cutest? And this handmade card with butterflies is so pretty!
