Now onto general ramblings. I just want to say I love craft swaps.
And postcard swaps. They are so much fun to be involved in ! The October/November Postcard Swap over on the DUST Team forum is in full swing. I was teamed with Abigail ( Jades' daughter) and she sent me this card of Traffic Signal Boxes - she also told me that she had painted the one in the bottom row, second from left ! I think they look fantastic.
I sent Abigail a postcard of the Brig Amity replica and the Albany Town Crier. I really hope she loves it.
The DUST Team craft swap for September/October was a hit, I think all the recipients were happy DUSTers ! I was so spoilt by Tess, my swap partner but more on that in a moment. This is what I sent to Tess. I wrapped it all so prettily - I figure that when you are sending a craft swap parcel, it should feel like Christmas for the receipient :)
This is what I sent to Tess. A mixed media collage, some gift tags, some original photographs I took, some gift tags and a greeting card to say thanks ! I was so pleased that Tess liked my photos enough to include some in a swap.
and this is what I received from the gorgeous Tess from planettreasures ! She certainly spoilt me ! Where do I start. A postcard, a hoot oops I mean cute fabric Owl brooch, a greeting card, some earrings, a necklace, a bracelet and a fabric business card holder. Turquoise is my birthstone and features in the earrings and bracelet :)
A new project - I tried my hand at making bath bombs for the Summer Street Fair coming up from this Thursday night. I think they turned out rather well for a first attempt. I love to make new things and love it even more when they work out first time round :) This photo is what they looked like when I pressed them out of the mould, now they need to air-dry for 1-2 days.
See you all on Wednesday for a Wednesday Wishlist................... have a great week xo
You will be ready for the market - it is always a panic beforehand but ends ok on the day, have faith in yourself. Great wish list, I have started mine too - I thought we were just making it up from those participating though. We must do liberte again soon xo
ReplyDeleteLovely blog post, your blog is always so interesting, and thanks for talking about the craft swap - it was fun!
ReplyDeleteYou've been a busy girl! wow! I love the look of those bath bombs! except I don't really have a bathtub and would have to get in at midnight to fight the kids off if I DID have a bathtub... The swap looked like fun. Thanks again for including in your treasury x
