Craft Swap Extra

During last month's Spring Craft Swap, we saw such a fun crocheted necklace.  I had to immediately reach out to this crafter and ask if she would be willing,  please oh please, to swap with me even though we weren't matched up.  She agreed and sent this beautiful necklace, yarn samples, and the sweetest note.  We even had a nice chat on the phone. 

A Present

Who doesn't like to get yarn as a gift?

Fridge Art

Our favorite kind of art is kid art.  So cute!

Art Trade

We love art trades and were able to trade a little cash, some tams, and a scarf for some amazing custom glass beads, an anklet, and two necklaces!  The beautiful bead and knot work is by local artist, Matthew Peters.  Check him out here and grab some of his art.   

Spring 2013 Craft Swap

Here's our second swap update. We actually joined two groups this time, which means we gave and got four packages.  We sent out aprons and dish towels and received wreaths, a bracelet, and an apron.  The fuzzy bright green one is going in Gypsea.  We get to meet her next weekend... so excited!!!

YO!

Here are some yo-yo buttons, yo!  Also, here's a good video on how to make them.  Basically, take a circle of fabric, sew a running stitch, gather, and embellish.  Super easy... make a ton!  Right now!

It's a GIRL!!!

A friend of mine had a baby!  Super excited for their growing family.  They are such fun people.
