i took part in katie at skunkboy creatures craft swap that she put on a few weeks ago
i was paired up with the lovely jamie from inspired mess
this is what jamie made me
we decided to do an embroidery swap... i love my little camera she embroidered and the brooch is just so fun!
jamie said she likes owls and anchors
so this is what i embroidered for her
i had a lot of fun making these for jamie and have really enjoyed getting to know her...
she's a great gal and i'm happy to call her a new friend
you should all check out her blog if you haven't already!
have a lovely wednesday!
xo,
kass

wow! super cute embroidery! i want to be better at that, for some reason i don't get it. i thought i did, i made a brooch thing for my grandma & none of her friends could figure out what stitches i used, they figured it must be something new that they don't know! haha i thought i was doing a basic stitch!
ps...jamie is awesome! i've never met a jamie i didn't like;)
loving all of those!
jamie - haha... i have no idea what i'm doing when it comes to embroidery... i just do it and i'm lucky that it turns out looking all right! i'm sure if my gran looked at it she would be confused too!
lydia - thanks!
Awww! Thank you for the sweet words!!! It's been so fun getting to know YOU! You're so awesome! Katie did good when she paired us up! ;) I just love my embroidery goodness you made me!!! Thank you soooo much!!! xo
oh, you both are sooo talented! I love the owl, kassi! and the polaroid she embroidered is way cool!!!
jamie - you are the best... glad you like them. i love mine too!
brittan - thank you!
mara - i'm sure you'll pick it up again in no time! by the way, how was new york?
Kass! I love the owl and anchor you embroidered and your pola one she did for you is cute too... But I'm seriously in love with the ones you made. I like the little button on the anchor. Did you do it in denim? I love anchors. I have a little anchor necklace and have actually always wanted a little anchor tattoo but Craig vetoed that. Not that he's the boss if me but I suppose he would have to look at it all the time so I should consider his input :).
Hope you're having a good day lovely lady!
Wow, those are such cute embroideries! Speaking of craftiness, when are you opening an etsy shop?
I'm so glad you're doing pay it forward! I really like the deadline on that (since I always seem to be late doing everything).
xoxo zillionbillionbeaucoup
thanks lauren! i did use a denim looking fabric... but it's not thick like denim.... the owl and anchor were fun to make... and i used vintage buttons for the eyes and on the anchor.
an anchor tattoo would be cute... if you were popeye! ;-) heehee
danisnow - thanks love! etsy... eh, who knows. that means i actually have to start making stuff and keeping it instead of giving it away! my goal is april though... i would like to open it before my birthday.
yes, the deadline for pay it forward is a nice one! speaking of deadlines... when do we have to have our knick knacks shipped off for the exchange?

wow super cute! You girls are great at embroidery! I would love to learn one day, but one craft at a time!
xoxo,
Cat
Okay, well I'm marking my calendar for April! I know what you mean about giving stuff away. It's nice that I make money from the Etsy shop, but I'm just as happy to give things to people who like them. It makes me happy, too!
I put in the email to try and have things mailed by the 15th. Knowing me, I'll mail it on the 17th. Oh well, I try!
xo ten thousand infinities
I love all of the embroidery. It makes me want one oh so badly!
YES, when are you going to open an etsy shop???
these embrodieries are AWESOME! seriously, a fabulous exchange between you two.
cat - it's so fun and pretty easy peasy!
danielle - yeah... it's so hard not to give stuff away - i feel so bad charging people for something that I made...
how did i miss the knick knack exchange date in your email.. weird! grandemillionbillions
cole - thank you!
micaela - my goal is april for the etsy... but who knows! it makes me nervous! it was a fun exchange... jamie is stellar!
