stashbusting swap

Here is what I received in the stashbusting swap on Ravelry.
How cool is the owl hat?!
And these wristlets are in my car cause I wear them all the time. And look at the blurry pic of the beret. Covers all my head. Wore it to the farmers market on Sunday it was great.










Paperbag Swap

Missy Mack hosted a paper bag swap recently. (have posted about it earlier somewhere) and I thought I should post these pics of what I sent and received.

This orange and green project folder and matching coffe cup bag were made by me for Levineke.

Then below in the pink and blue is my parcel (minus the Frankie magazine which had already been 'borrowed' by the time I go the camera ready!)

Anyway, 2 potholders (YAY my first for my new house!) and a toiletries bag complete with little bunny mirror and worry dolls.. Unfortunately my toiletry bag is being used instead as a fantastic sock project bag! It fits a sock project perfectly. Then I put it in my handbag (which is huge I admit!) and I am set for the day.

Swap parcels received #!

Ok this is the first of a few entries mainly for my aunt who sadly seems unable to get on to Ravelry!


First this is my Seuss swap package I got. The cat and the hat has been claimed by DD2 who constantly drags him around the house with her. The koolaid I will use for dying (I am getting into it.) ANd the scarf is a seussy looooong scarf perfect for the cold weather at the moment.




These next 2 photos are from my 80s sci-fi swap. Look at all the reading! The pattern up the back is for Yoda! How cool is that! Will post a pic when I make him..
Oh and the cowl, my first! Another item in use now. And the zippered purse is currently holding my project for yet another swap I am working on. Cannot show that cause it isn't finished.
