Been hard trying to get in craft time with the kiddos, but I’m going to see my MIL tomorrow so I should be able to knock the second one out!

I’m 99% done with item #2. I just need to seal it and should be able to send that package Tuesday if all goes well. Then it’s on to item #3. I realllllly appreciate the extra time, @Magpie!

Ugh. Just had a fail. Will try again after lunch.
After lunch update…well…better, lol. I have everything together and should be able to send tomorrow.

Item #2 complete, item #3 started. I always forget just how messy I am when paint is involved. I got to use my glass pen tonight though, so that was fun!

Everything here is moving along nicely, but glue dries slowly…

I’ve completed my crafted goodies, just waiting for the yummy things to arrive. I was hoping to send today, but I’m thinking tomorrow is more likely.

I didn’t get to my water aerobics class, but I did get to drop off package number one! 
I’ll take the small win.

I’m still working on random projects!
I cannot seem to pare down my ideas, so I feel so scattered!
Plus I’m trying to work from stash and not buy every shiny thing that might help with a new project…
Today I set a timer for 30 min. so that made me focus more.
I have been wishing I had one of you sitting beside me as a guide!
Should be good to mail tomorrow.

Hey friends, it is quite the challenge to keep up with swap tracking and I’m afraid some have posted they sent only in the swap thread. I need a message from you with either the tracking # typed out (no links, images, etc, I need to copy/paste it into the tracking doc) or an image of the envelope or mailing receipt if there is no tracking.
There are lots of you but only one of meeee 
so please double check that you have messaged your sending date. Thank you!

I have had a small set back, a wee iron related incident. I’m OK but OW.
There are a few other stragglers but mostly everybody has been able to send but in consideration of the holiday on Monday and my irritation at having blistered myself,
I’m pushing out send outs to Tuesday Feb 17.

Yikes! That looks super painful. I’m so sorry that happened and glad you’re ok.
I finished my last item last night and just got pics. But…a coworker just gave me an idea for a better photo opportunity and I’m kind of of obsessed with making that happen. Also, the piece I finished is my favorite _____ in two years. Letting it go is going to hurt but I’m so excited for my partner to see and I hope she loves it just as much!

Dang! I almost wish I saw the extension sooner. I am standing at the post office with 7 minutes till they close (I’m in line so they might lock us in and let us exit through a back door. They’ve done that before).
My machine broke last night when I was almost finished with an item… i ended up cancelling the first day of weekend plans in order to start over. I think i actually made mediums time-wise. Or more. Everything took longer than i expected.
(And honestly part of me was glad for an excuse to not leave today. My apartment is a mess and I am too embarrassed to have my cat-sitter come in as it is. Leaving tomorrow my cat will be fine. And today’s deadline gave me a better excuse for ditching friends first night of event and having to have the “I’m embarrassed” talk with my other friend who was going to cat sit)
Ok… typed all that while in line. 5:05 pm, back in my car, 3 packages mailed!

Sometimes the pressure is good. I’m happy to have it done, ironing burn notwithstanding.

@EclecticDreamer and I mailed on the same day, just like me and @Manders. I guess we’re positively in sync. Pun intended 
.
Design and execution-wise, mine was definitely a medium or more. I refuse to apply the hours labels because I am hopelessly slow. But it’s also my favorite thing I’ve made lately and I’ve been pestering my coworkers all day with pics and “look what I made!” because I’m just so proud of it.
