I finally dipped my toes in with a claim. We’ll be home tomorrow evening so I wont lose much crafting time.

I received from AIMR today. Girl!! She spoiled me rotten.
I dropped a pretty solid hint during a zoom meet-up regarding her little pin cushions that she made. So she sent me one, with a bird on it of course. But she also made me a fabric basket. I have wanted something like this for some time now. :heart::heart: And, and, there’s more… she stuffed it full with lacy bits and bobs. :heart_eyes:
My youngest put a bunch of extra pins in the pincushion before I could take a picture. lol
Oh, and yes she embroidered an owl on the side of the basket that matches the fabric.

Thank you very much.

I hope that your back is healing up and not giving you too much trouble today.

Lovely package! :slight_smile: I especially love the birdie pincushion and the sleepy owlie! :blue_heart: :owl:

lol I am glad you got your package so quickly…I was worried with the mail…I really enjoy making baskets but I really don’t have room for any more in my house! :slight_smile: Everything was made from stash, which is also good for me…lucky that you pinned things that I could do!

I am shipping another claim out tomorrow so I can claim again! I love this swap…I need this swap right now! :slight_smile:

EEEP! I can’t wait to see what it is!

LOVE that basket! So stinking cute!

Hey all! I’ve up the numbers of claims you can take at one time from 2 to 3. You can have 3 outstanding claims at one time.

Hi! I’m still here too! My first send is delayed in FedEx land. its my daughters first week of school and its totally distracting me. The other 2 swaps I’m in also released my partners names and that absorbed my attention as well. That stuff have held me up, but I’m still in the game!

Imagine me frantically waving hello over here! So glad to see you back again!!!


I’ll be stopping at the post office tomorrow to mail off my first two claims so I can make some more. Everyone has such great lists that I’m inspired to create. I do see that we’re now allowed 3 at a time, but I think two open claims is good for me right now while I’m getting my feet wet in swapping again.
