This is spot on. I like to say that every needle felting project has a little part of me because I inevitably stab myself and bleed from those ultra sharp needles.

@Magpie it turned out great! You put so much work into it. It’s just fab. And I’m so glad you’re still using the good stuff

Yas! The Good Stuff!
And also love, cursing, and wine, ha.
I only took one progress pic so not going to make a post about it but I will say the pattern is just OK as it, I recommend making a muslin and tweaking before cutting into nicer fabric. And do use linen for the final project, nothing hangs or wears quite like it.

Oh, yay, glad to see this made it through construction and all the way to @calluna! That’s such a lovely shade of blue, too.

I received a packet of stamps and other papercrafty goodness from @Magpie today! It’s not technically a personal swap – I took her up on her offer to destash some of her stamps – but if she thinks she’s not getting some ATCs or something out of this, she’s got another thing coming 
.
I didn’t get a picture yet because for some reason I decided to stash them in the darkest room of the house on the cloudiest day we’ve had this week, but I’ll try to grab one on a brighter day. Thanks, @magpie!

Oh, you are so welcome! I’d love an ATC, or even better make that ATC a little bigger & turn it into a card! I keep all the ones with personal notes inside so I can read them over again 
The card with the heart & the personal notes were meant to be Happy Mail since you’re in that swap too

Not sure you remember, but you made me the most gorgeous red jacket in a swap years ago…I got the best compliments wearing it and people were so shocked that a “stranger” would make me something so beautiful and functional…do you remember? I still have it…it is a bit, er, tight now that I put on a few COVID pounds, but I hope to wear it this fall again! lol

I do remember! That’s so awesome that you still have it 
I have a skirt I made from the same material, but it’s sitting in the wardrobe waiting for me to make some post-COVID-baking modifications to myself … lol. If we ever get to travel again, one day we could visit and be colour co-ordinated!
I still have and use several things you made me from that swap, including a wonderful project bag with patchwork from gorgeous Kaffe Fassett fabrics

@GeekyBookworm and I are swapping ATCs We agreed on three each. I haven’t sent yet but here’s what I got yesterday!
She took my coffee cups theme and ran with it! She also included a lot of other things I like too 
She used pieces from a comic she has so they all go together. They look so nice all in a row:
I love all the details and handwriting. They are all so fun! Thank you @GeekyBookworm

I glad you like, @Reinikka . I really just wanted to do a mixture of any thing that I left behind and I found some comics and I choose one that seemed to have the best graphics for what I wanted to do.

I may have done a bit of stalking and discovered your love of pouches and bees. That was some fabric that I had previously tie dyed and then printed. I’m so glad you like it.

I did a swap with @Reinikka and we traded three ATCs. She sent me four seeing as she had started on one before starting a different one but ended up fixing the first one and just send and just deciding to send both. She also sent me a package of sloth stickers which I love!!! The stickers are so cute!!!
Here they are:
Thank you Reinikka!!! I really enjoyed swapping with you.

They were fun to make and I’m glad you like them! I couldn’t resist the sloth stickers once I saw them! I wanted to get you all the sloth things but the stickers were more practical for shipping
