Thanks partner!

I received from @megwell. I feel so bad, I received a few days ago and didn’t realize (thought it was lost) because it was stuck in between the paper adds :sweat_smile: oh boy! But I found it!! Yay!!

First up, the letter “S” for simulated washi.


This is such a neat idea!!! I’ve never thought of doing something like this. Love the color combos as well.

And for letter “F”, flash cards!! Presidential flash cards.






This one :point_up: is my favorite :joy:

Thank you so much @megwell

Wow! This gallery is great! Here’s another fabulous package!!! I received from @jillybeans! I was oohing and aahing while pulling these out of the package.

S is for small snail.


I love the snail and the mushrooms and the color scheme and the frame. I could go on and on!

F is for fruit pie trivet.


How cool is this?!? It looks so realistic and cute!
She said it was her first time using and making bias tape. I’m impressed!

Thank you so much for these treasures!

I recieved such an amazing package from @AuFish ! Wow! There is so much. Im not sure if i did justice in my pictures.
S = Something somewhat silly. A swag of stampeding swapable stegosaurs. Spare string stars & sun.



F = For fun & Function -a fairly floppy foldover pyramid bag featuring flutterbys, flowers, & frolicking felines.


This package was so amazing. All these little stitches and extras! I think im going to sew a stegosaurus on my jacket! I love all of this!!! Thank you so much!

@Myruka @megwell It is nice to see former presidents relax so thoroughly. :laughing:

@saintcady @kittykill Yum! Homemade fruit jelly is always so much better than store bought! Beautiful colors on the sun catcher and friendship bracelets.

@Kwality570 @jillybeans What a cute fancy framed sweet stitched snail! The fruit pie trivet is so creative! Love it.

@gozer I’m glad you like it and it arrived safely!

@jillybeans The fruit pie trivet is a fantastic idea! I might have to borrow it.

I’m so glad you like everything! I saw the washi technique in a YT video and was like, “Well that’s obviously happening.” Feel free to cut the wider ones down if you prefer; I just wanted to give the option of a thicker tape.

Adams is probably my favorite card, too. If I may be so bold, the hair is an improvement :laughing:.

So glad you like it all, kwality! :slight_smile: The trivets almost didn’t make it out of the house. My kids and husband wanted to keep them. My oldest (who is 10) wants me to make some for her when she has her own home. I will have to find time to make myself one!

Here is a picture of my oldest stealing them and using it as a hat. :wink:

I received today from @Manders ! I love them so much! It’s a sand seal plushie from Legend of Zelda- I’ll be lucky if I get to keep that one. My kids adore those games. A glittery felt frog. And a cool Pokemon pin!


Here’s the underside of the frog, look at that stitching :heart_eyes: Do you remember those floppy lizards filled with sand that we all had in the late 90’s? It’s giving those vibes. He lives on my reading lamp now :two_hearts: What’s funny is my original plan for F was a frog too! I went with something else in the end.

Look at that faaaace!

Thank youuuu! And thanks @gozer for organizing!

I received today from @Myruka!

F is for florals (which also happen to be spooky skulls)

ETA: I don’t know whether you can see it in the photo, but some spots are glittery!

S is for snail mail stamp…

…which she used on the card…

…and re-created on the back of the stamp!

Thanks again, Myra!

@megwell - those president cards and washi tape are so fun!

@saintcady - yum on the jam! That suncatcher is cute and love the friendship bracelets.

@jillybeans - ack! That is the cutest snail cross stitch and the frame puts it over the top on cuteness. I love the fruit pie trivet and wish my kitchen had such awesomeness. I can understand why your daughter wanted to keep them (such a great pic!).

@AuFish - such an original idea with the cuatomizable bunting and I love the dinosaurs. That bag is gorgeous!

@Manders - cute stuffies! My son recognized the sand seal right away.

@Myruka - your painting skills always impress! I love the skull flowers. That stamp is fantastic. I wanted to do a stamp for this swap but I chickened out. Your carving looks pwrfect and such a great design.

I recieved the best package today from @Kwality570! She sent me a Scrappy Fabric Bag with cute puppy fabric (I adore the colors)! Plus two Scrubbies. I always need scrubbies so these will be put to good use.

So I didn’t comment in the thread so I wasn’t getting notifications for it. :woman_facepalming:

I love the gallery so far! So many cute things!

@jeanneleigh the snarky saying are adorable. I love that they’re magnets!

@gozer I’m not a big skull fan but the coasters are really impressive! The dragonfly box is adorable! :purple_heart:

@Tapestry the slug paintbruah rest is just adorable! I, as usual, love the artwork you made as well. I bet the shinyness is even better in person .
I think it’s awesome that your son recognized the sand seal plushie. :grin: It warms my geeky heart.

@Bunny1kenobi the mini scenes are clever! The watercolor cards are also adorable. I wouldn’t want to use them because they’re so cute. :purple_heart:
(I have a dragon notebook I refuse to use because I don’t want to ruin it :joy:)

@kittykill that embroidery is so detailed! I love the retro feel of it.

@EclecticDreamer Nice tree of life pendant! I’ve been wanting to try making one of those for a long time but still haven’t. :sweat_smile:

@megwell the simulated washi tape is so interesting! It works like washi tape? That’s a clever choice!

@saintcady I’m jelly about the jelly! Lol. Homemade food is such a treat. (I can cook, but I don’t love cooking.) I bet it tastes delicious :purple_heart:

@jillybeans that crossstitch is just ADORABLE. I LOVE THE PIE TRIVET TOO Good job guarding it for lettuce.craft :joy:

@AuFish those stegos are so cute! I love dinos! The stars and sun are also really :sunglasses:

@Dooney thank you for tagging me! Lol I was missing the whole gallery up to this point. :woman_facepalming: I’m so glad you liked the goods. :grin: Fred the Frog and the Sand Seal. :wink: I love that you knew where the sand seal was from!! :purple_heart: Fred is filled with split peas actually so he can’t get wet, he’s a bean bag frog. :grin: (Forgot to mention that in the card) And that buttons was one of the first.buttons I made. :purple_heart:

@Myruka that stamp is gloriously adorable. :purple_heart:

@Kwality570 that zippered bag is pretty cool!! The scrubbies are also a great functional item!

Phew! And with that I’m all caught up. :laughing:

Yes! There’s double-sided tape on the back, so you can just peel and stick it.
