The ribbon doesn’t have to stay on the bracelets, as that was more of just a way to keep them together or something.
I had that wood bus in my stash for like 5 years! I pretty much only buy wood stuff from Michaels when they’re on extreme sale so I think it was $2 but of course I only bought it because it was cheap :joy: so I didn’t have a use for it immediately.
The ice cream comes are pom poms! Lol. With felt black hot fudge and felt whipped cream. Sometimes the pom pom may move the felt faces around so you can reposition them if they look funky.

Everything in the gallery is so cool!! Such creative ideas! All those monsters on the hippie trail in their VW van. The bag charm. That crochet skeleton. To just name a few, I think everything is so cool and such clever ideas :pink_heart: :purple_heart: :orange_heart:

Received this lovely package from @Reese52 yesterday. I love it so much!
These magnets and cute tags (using the moon one for a bookmark currently)

This crow sewing kit is omg amazing :face_holding_back_tears: some pics of it closed and open, and hopefully the beautiful beadwork is showing up. I love the heart pincushion on its back.

Thanks so much Charisse! And thanks to @Bunny1kenobi for hosting such a fun swap!

Glad you like it! I was a bit nervous about the mini sewing kit crow. A pattern was available for purchase, but I opted to draft my own pattern from the photos. I’m glad it turned out ok.

My partner said she received this weekend. Here are some pictures of what I sent. I made some artwork with a fruity jack o’lantern theme, some jack o’lantern fruit magnets, and a cauldron wall hanging with a relaxing ghost.

I recieved the best package from @gozer today! She spoiled the heck out of me!

Everything (except the sticker sheets) altogether:

Now for some close ups. The world’s tiniest and cutest embroidery hoop necklace and a gorgeous, creepy eyeball flower. I have the flower sitting on my desk at the moment.

The most awesome tiny tote ever! Zoom in because that shading on the ghost is free-motion machine embroidery. :exploding_head: I love it so much!

And the pile of awesome just keeps going: TWO ghost sculptures, one of which glows in the dark and the other holding a perfect, tiny slice of cake (a ghost after my own heart). Plus a monitor or plant pot charm(?) And some minty chapstick.

And the final bit of wonderfulness: two adorable sticker sheets. They look so fun! My inner 5yo is gleefully ready to play.

Thank you for a truly wonderful swap package, @gozer! You absolutely made my week.

I am so glad you like it! I am going to have to use some of your pics for the Games since mine were awful. Lots of storms here.

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope she feels better soon!

Oh my gosh so many great packages! I love tha crow sewing kit. It turned out beautifully with the beadwork. Hot Ghoul Summer and the relaxing ghost are super cute! I’m blown away by the embroidered necklace and tiny bag.

I received from @chameleonhound !! Thank you so much for such a generous swap package.

I already started opening it when I realized I should take a picture first! It looked so nice and summer-y.

One of the things I put in my Q was a patch for my denim jacket. And lo and behold, an embroidered bat patch, plus a seperate friendly ghost sticker:


Then, another friendly floral ghost!! @chameleonhound said it was made using glue. Is this fabric + glue?? It’s so stiff it stands up! I’ve not seen anything like it before. It reminds me of that book @MistressJennie made quilts of, the ghost who was a quilt? This ghost is a curtain!


Up next, really nice scrappy bunting / garland / whatever the right word is in English (??) It’s a well known fact that I love all the scraps. My picture doesn’t do it justice. It’s begging for an action shot.

There’s more - tiny fabric pumpkins, and I think the stems are real wood??

As if that’s not enough - look at all the extras!!

Fun fact: after I sent out my swap package I started two small Tiny Modernist autumn pieces that I finished the other day. So great choice and great timing! The Just Cross Stitch holiday collections are also quite difficult to get here, so thanks for that one! I know of one shop that imports some Halloween and Christmas editions, but it’s first come, first serve and they usually sell out in a day or two.

I have one shelf that I use for seasonal decoration and it will look much nicer this year.
