Stuff I've Been Doing

This month, so far, has just zipped by me. Halloween is friggin' next week! Holy crap! Where has the year gone? I've been in a bit of a creative slump lately... didn't really enjoy making anything and everything I did make looked crappy to me lol. Things are picking up now, though. I'm working on some costumes for a couple of adorable kiddies this week, and I've been working on some Christmas stuff, too. I'll post pics when I finish them :)

Here are a few things I made for some swaps...

Monster stuffie made with felt and machine embroidery-


Fall fabric postcard-


Felt cupcake ornament-


Here are a couple of other pics... a gorgeous sunset seen from my backyard, and my wonderful baby boy, Pugsley :)






I hope you guys are all having a GREAT week!

Swaps

Man! The week went by so fast and I didn't even post anything lol. I have been working on some swaps and thinking about Halloween and decorating for Fall :) I thought I'd share some photos with you today...

I received this cute monster, ami bird and pincushions from some totally awesome swappers on swap-bot :)







Here is an altered CD and quickie monster postcard I sent out this week -




Have a great weekend you guys!

New Dollies!

The weekends go by way too fast!!!! I managed to sneak some sewing/crafting time in, however. I thought I'd share a few photos will y'all (as they say in the south).

These are some dotees I received from my swap-bot swaps. Aren't they cute?!





This last one was for a "celestial" doll swap :)

Here are a couple that I made over the weekend. They are on their way to their new homes-



I'm so addicted to this swapping thing! I really need to start on the holiday stuff-do you realize that Christmas is only 143 days away?? I can't wait - Arizona is beautiful in December... I think we will have to have breakfast out on the patio again this year :)

Lace Bookmark For Swap

Swap-bot has gotten me totally addicted to swapping stuff. It is such a neat website where people set up various swaps, some US only, some international, for all kinds of things... paper crafts, fabric, altered items, photography, dog treats - you name it. It's a great place to meet new friends, too.

Here's the link to swap-bot.

Here is a bookmark I made for one of my swaps. It was done on my embroidery machine. You can't see it too well in the photo, but it has gold thread for a bit of bling :)
