Busy, Busy Bee
I have been very busy lately helping my mom at her house so I have not had a lot of time for posting. Or working on things around my house for that matter.
I did receive my buttons from the button swap and I love them. I think they are hand made.
I already have at least two projects I can use them for.
I also managed to finish one of the zippered tote-a-littles I cut out. I have two to go. I used the lesson from Thimble.
It seemed a little plain at first so I added a little girl inspired by one I saw on a Japanese craft book on Ebay.
My swap partner from the random swap on Craftster still has not posted anything about what she received from me in the swap. I don't think she likes it and I feel terrible. I don't know if I should send her something else or what...I posted what I had sent on the old blog but I would like to post it again to see what you all think...
Two apron/bibs for her little girl.
Two cars for her little boy.
A diaper/mommy bag.
and some other little odds and ends...
I think everything looks absolutely fabulous. If this was all the info you had to go on about your partner, I think you did great. As being a participant in that swap I think maybe the 'oldbee's' don't get nearly excited as us 'newbee's'. My partner really hasn't posted much either. I hope you at least got a thank you. Keep on craftin'. D

Oh, I love everything you sent--it's WONDERFUL! I'm sure your partner thinks so too. You just never know with swaps with people you don't "know"--I'm going through a similar funky thing with a Craftster swap I'm in right now. Bums me out.

Honestly speaking, I would scream and jump up and down if I received those goodies in a swap! Seriously, what's wrong with your swap partner?!?

How could she not like such a mother-load of wonderful swap goodness! I'm sure she loves it and it had just slipped her mind somehow.

The buttons are fabulous!
And everything you made and sent was wonderful. Looks like a great swap!

I think they are great! What pattern did you use for those bibs? I found one similar to that in Baby's are us and my sister loves them because they cover the whole outfit not just the front of the shirt and it helps keep my neices clothes cleaner longer. I'd love to make some of these up for her.
