GWJ Winter Craft Swap

I LOVE Totoro!!!! It is actually cold enough right now to wear this awesome hat! Can't wait to show it off and see who recognizes it.
Thank you

I got some conductive thread at the craft store -- I am planning to try my hand at gloves with fingers that can be used with iDevices.

Ooh, that's pretty cool. Even thread is getting technologically advanced now!

I knew I had to make this one as soon as I saw the pattern.

Oh snap, Bonnonon! I didn't realize you had officially joined us! Uh, OK, don't panic. I got everything under control!

I was making sprite-based stuff for everybody. Is there anything in particular that you'd like?

BTW, I received more packages. Pics will be posted in the morning. Also, I'm heading to the post office. YEAH!

That is an awesome hat.

I can't wait until my packages start arriving here! Come on Canada Post!!!

Bonnonon - I'm making pendant necklaces for the girls, do you want yours in necklace form, possibly manned up by being a leather cord instead of chain? Another option is I could make the pendant be more of a keychain bauble.

Make him a bro-celet.

Ok! I have mailed out 4 packages today! Mimble, Kiri, Katy and Yellek... Prepare yourselves!

Unfortunately, there are two packages that didn't make today. During a final inspection, the items for Clover and Momgamer contained a flaw that I must rectify. I'll have those items repaired and sent out as soon as possible.

Also, that pic I promised will appear here eventually.

EDIT:

My cards!

Love them! Thanks so much!

I'm a fashionably late shipper too. But I'll poke in some extras to make up for it (yay flat-rate shipping!)

Maybe send me a message and we can chat. No worries, I joined late.

Key chain would be cool.

btw - Keep calm and kill zombies card - <3, my dice bag and the hat are awesome. !

Bonnonon - I was packing things up last night and just realized I don't have any color preference information for you. What color is your kitchen?

We mostly have a light green and light blue colours, but any colour will do. My personal favorite colour is purple.

Awesome. I think I have just the thing for that.

When I came home last night, there was a notice in the mail to go pick up a package!

I'm heading out soon to see what sort of Goodjer Treasure I've been sent

UPDATE: The garlic scapes have arrived. The smell alone is AMAZING. Just the whiff I caught opening the box made my mouth water.

These will not last long. I am going to eat them all!

Thank you, Bonnonon!

Yummy looking hot pepper garlic scapes and some garlic bulbs from Bononon, and shiny beaded charms from Mystic Violet arrived in the mail today!

These things are so amazing. I'm marking this page for later (and maybe to get on board!)

Yay 2 arrived safely! Hopefully the others all arrive safe and sound as well.

I am having so much fun with this. Is it to early to begin a round to end in the spring or summer?

Clover and Momgamer: items are in the mail! Yeah!

Yay! You ended up with one of the custom sprites. There are no Portal sprites so I drew one. I hope you like them! Actually, I hope everyone likes them!

Garlic scapes and bulbs arrived and look &smell delish! And adorable beaded charms to play with too! Thanks Bonnonon and Mystic Violet!

I fear I am the last straggler. I had to change the pendant designs a bit that requires a different bail I had to order. I should get them in time to finish them this weekend and will ship Monday.

No, you're not. I'm finishing packing tonight.

I got four of those "there was a package for you" notices today, but I can't go get them from the office until tomorrow. Argh.

Photos!

Remember to check the time it says you are allowed to go pick up after. I sometimes go to early in the morning and the package is not available yet, because it is still on the truck. :S

At my complex the Post Office and the big delivery services have an arrangement to leave all packages at the office. That way they dont have a theft problem. I just didn't get the mail until after the office closed for the day so I didn't see the notices.

I got them, and they're fabulous (and now I really feel guilty about being late).

I got the cards, the dice bag, the scapes, and the hats. They are all fabulous. I had to go to the doctor this afternoon and have received so many compliments. And I know mom's going to love her hat, Katy. That was extremely thoughtful of you.

Momgamer's hat:

And clover hasn't posted in here recently, so I'm going to go ahead and assume her package has arrived in her mailbox, and post a picture of her hat, too:

I had a lot of fun with the swap.

Arrived home today to more packages. Garlic and scapes have arrived. Boy do they smell fantastic! Can't wait to open and use them. Shineys from Mystic Violet. LOVE THEM! have to find something fun to hook them on. When all have arrived, I will post a group photo.

I wish I could join this, but I don't think I have the shop space or sanity to make 10+ farmhouse tables or queen-size bedframes. Drat!

If only furniture-making wasn't such a "big" craft.

Awesome "craft"! I wish my house was large enough for a farmhouse table....
