Making Time

Both me and my swap partners have officially received our swap packages for PurplePinkandOrange softies swap. I can’t figure it out, I think we’re supposed to post the pix on either swapbot or the main website.
I was excited to my swap partner (to send to) was Kristin from Kleas, because I have been to her site before. So I wanted to give her something super special, and make a challenge for myself. I attempted quilt-making, and also made my first pincushion: a block of cheese. She really likes the wee mouse, and she calls him Itty! What a cute name. I’m very happy for little Itty.

Belinda Bunny arrives in Japan!

I received my PurplePinkandOrange softies swap too!. What a cutie. When we opened the package here, we did full belly laughs. She’s very funny! My boyfriend named her Belinda, which is very appropriate.

She is made by Janet Wilkinson, thank you Janet! (Thanks for the other doo-dads too!) You can see Janet’s work here at Flickr, and on her site. She is fully made of recycled materials. There is even fabric from Janet’s prom dress on Belinda. Very fancy!

Janet wrote me, having thought that the PPO Softies swap was one-to-one, and she’d be receiving a crocheted fella from me, not knowing it was random partners. So we’re actually planning on doing another swap after this. She’s going to make me a dress!! I’m so happy.

All in all, a very happy swap experience was had by all.
