Goodies!!!

This is what I got today from the swap I had joined in November. I LOVE everything.

This was actually my first swap from this site (http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/) This particular swap was to send whatever you wanted to send. Whoever creates the swap assigns partners and you can check their profile and decide what you want to make for them. You can send anything really...but it mostly deals with art or crafting. I received this from Laurel who lives in Wales/U.K.  =)

I'll post what I sent to the girl I was assigned to as soon as she posts it.

Pictures of my Christmas tree

First Necklace

I made this pumpkin out of polymer clay. I almost didn't want to sell it b/c it's so friggin cute. I  have a few more heart shaped ones that I'll post later.

Gir

I'm doing a goodie bag swap on http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/ 
I made this for the girl that I got. I checked her profile and she likes Invader Zim so I drew out Gir and colored it in with soft pastels. I really like it.

Great tutorial on how to sew a blanket stitch by hand

 http://www.futuregirl.com/craft_blog/2007/09/tutorial-hand-sew-felt.aspx

So, I've never really had any formal classes or 'teachings' on how to sew. I just look at things and try to mimic them. Most of my plushies have a similar stitching.. but I NOW know how to do this properly. *dances*
