Great package. Cool fabrics. I love the way the quotes look. Are they printed on tissue paper?

I typed one on tissue paper. And I cheated with the second and used Dina Wakley’s typed ledger paper.

And the goat @Magpie Was found at Dick Blick in the craft aisle. Couldn’t resist a goat for @goatgoddesss !!

@Smmarrt That goat is adorable and perfect for GoatGoddess. I like the way you did the color stripes down it. The little notebooks are cute too!

The design on the goat is from an ad that kept popping up on Pinterest - an artist named Claire Desjardins and her lampshades sold at Anthropologie.

Cool goat! I love the way the colors overlap and are translucent.

I received from the amazing @gozer ! I think I need to send her an additional package because this package was PERFECT. I am totally in love with what she sent!

First, this super cute notebook in gorgeous, vibrant colors! I think geckos are adorable, and this one is perfect. And the lettering!!! LOVE!

And then she painted this AWESOME mirror! Such happy hues! I’m trying to decide if this will go up on the wall in my office, or in the kitchen. I love it!!

Thank you SO MUCH, @gozer! You really hit the ball out of the park!

I’ve been working away on my artwork for @Magpie, it’s taken longer than I was expecting, but I think it’s coming together. I will get it done!!

I love that first quote! Man, I need that tattooed on my arm, lol.

@jemimah I’m not in any kind of hurry at all. Just relax & have a good making whatever you feel like :slight_smile:

Prepare to be amazed because I was when I opened my package from @Abbeeroad … Abbie kindly offered to swap hoops with me when I commented that’s all I wanted in this swap. Then she mimicked one of my doodles in beautiful colours to create this little masterpiece, which I totally love!

Beautiful! I often thought your beautiful doodles would be gorgeous stitched up!

I was right!

The quote is also appropriate… :laughing:

I’m so glad you like it, @Cindy! It was really fun to stitch.

And bonus I received my hoops (that’s right she sent me TWO) from @Cindy today!!

I laughed out loud at the carrot one (a fave Lisa Simpson quote that gets thrown around a lot in our house) and love the wildflowers one, too! I’ve wanted to stitch that quote forever but never got around to it. Now I don’t have to! Both have glow in the dark thread elements!!

Thank you @Cindy for a great swap!!

Beautiful wording with both the embroidery stitches and the cross stitching!

The little carrot addition is so darn cute as well as that quote!
