Hi girls!
I'm sorry I've been out of the loop for a few days - a few last minute emergencies with my son's college documentation and a friend's taxes, but today I'm getting back on track!
I just want to be sure everyone has made contact with their partners and that things are going swimmingly? If not, please let me know and I will be glad to try to contact her as well, or I'm happy to work something out with you myself! :)
Rose - I haven't heard back from you. Did you receive my email? I understand if you can't swap as planned - life happens. Please just let me know!
Looking forward to pictures, girls!
Hugs -
Nini

Katmom! Thank you so much for the wonderful swap! She sent me a hankie with my name embroidered on it (which is now the one and only hankie I own!), a doily...
this cute bag, which I believe is reversible....
and this adorable clothespin apron! Thank you so much Grace! I love everything!
I will have yours out... by the deadline, lol. Beyond that I can promise nothing. I envy how prompt you are! Thanks again, I really did love it :)

Oh Erin, 'sew' glad the package arrived... I had sent it my snail mail,,, lol!
the apron was in it's former life a gingham pillow case, and the tote, thou not reversible, was from (outside) upholstery/curtain fabric that I had left from a previous project... and ofcource, what is a tote w/o a few yoyo's for embellishment! lol!
I luv to recycle, re-purpose everything... that being said, the Hanky is new,,, so I just machine embroidered your name.
Have fun and don't be afraid to use the hankie,,, I hand wash mine and lay them out on top of one of my lavender bushes...
Happy Swapping...

SARAH HALL! thank you so much for the wonderful magic box. Sarah made these wonderful cards and earrings with a matching piece for a necklace. Included are cards that came with stamps, which I use alot so that was a perfect addition. Thank you Sarah. I am still working on your magic box but will be done soon. Thanks for your patience. .jpg?v 57959706)

Hi girls –
I was thinking how diverse all of our talents are… Some of us sew, some knit, some weave, some tat; some embroider or do crewel work; some do macrame; some are talented artists who draw or paint; others love to work with metal or mixed media; some love to do papercrafting or create fabulous items out of recycled items; some like to work with wood or sculpture or make homemade paper; some make candles or soaps or lotions. These are only some of the wonderful handicrafts we all do, of course, but you get the idea. Wouldn’t it be fun to do a swap featuring our personal gifts and talents?
In this swap, YOU get to choose what you would like to send your partner! It would be something special you create especially for her, only YOU get to choose the medium and the project – it’s all up to YOU! For example, if your talent is making punch needle rugs, you could create a little pillow or wall hanging for your partner. If you knit, you would create a special knit item. If you make potpourri, you could make lovely sachets… It’s completely up to you what you send – you get to “Feature What You Do!”
I’m starting the sign-ups early, so that those of you whose handicrafts require extra time will have plenty of time to get started.
Sign ups will take place through April 1st. Please just let us know what your talent is (i.e. knitting). It will be fun to see what kinds of projects we can look forward to! But don't give away any secrets - the project itself should be a surprise for your partner!
Partners will be assigned April 3rd.
Projects should be mailed out by April 25th.
If you have any questions, please do ask!
Hugs –
Nini

Omgoodness, no, Rose! I didn't! I tried emailing you, too! I wondered what happened to you! Did you see my other post? Ugh... It's okay - it's all good! I'm just so glad you're still "in!" I was a little bummed! :) We'll figure it out! I'll email you again, now! Let me know if you get it. I've been having problems receiving emails through MJF, but if I send it to you and you respond directly, we should be fine! :) Hugs - Nini

Marlene,
Thank you so much for the wonderful album. I'm so glad you didn't let your friends talk you into giving it to them :) I LOVE it!!! You do such wonderful work. I think I'm going to save this one for when we move to our new farm. It seems fitting to fill a home album with pictures of us moving into our new home. Your package is on it's way.
Thanks again for a wonderful swap :)
Hugs,
~Heather
