Look what Carol sent me: The cutest little hearts made from newspaper!! A beautiful pincushion that I think is from a bottle cap (that is already beside my sewing machine) a dragonfly charm, some pumpkin coffee and a cute notecard. Thanks a bunch. I really like everything. I'm thinking of trying to make some things from the newspaper like you did for fall decorations around my house. This was such a fun swap. Thanks again!
Heather, I have to confess, my 88 yr old mother was bored and took the sewing portion of the newspaper ornaments craft away from me. LOL I would have stuffed them a little plumper. Her stitches are very neat though for someone her age, no? Yes the pincushion is a bottle cap in disguise. The pattern called for felt but I used flannel instead. Glad you like everything. Sorry the hubs forgot the package in his trunk and delayed my getting it to you! :) ~ Carol

wow - way to go mom! I hope I can stitch that good at 88! That's awesome. Don't worry about the delay - life happens like that sometimes. Thanks for such a great idea for a swap Sarah. I can't do Octobers, but hopefully there will be more in the future. This was fun and gave me some great ideas for decorations and gifts!
