me too, it's a whole different experience...I rebelled against the materials at first. Even broke one part of it in my 'creative inquiry' process....oops.

Still, I like where my idea is going. Just trying to find the peace of mind and time to make it happen.

I've started, that is saying a lot for me today.

cutting, pinning, pondering, bought the couple extra doo-dads I needed, can't find the oil for my sewing machine...I'm getting there though

Mailed out my finished products this morning!

I just finished my trade art
ou baby, baby, baby

Anne - you are gonna love it!
yeah :)

I got my package today! Woo hoo! Satya rocks! I got a really fun bag/tote with pockets outside and in. I'm already imaging what I'll be toting in when I go on vacation in June. She also made me a gorgeous table runner. Excellent stuff, put together beautifully.
Now I hope I can do her justice...

It's on it's way to the Post office! Package in my man's trunk and will be mailed to Kansas on Monday. Hope you enjoy, Peggy!

Anne of cyber Gables your prize is in the mail
woo hoo
You are gonna love it!

la la la

This is a fun trade!

Okay, I think I now have my emtions under control.

I sent my trade partner, artiste extrondinaire, Fang, a freebie drug clock and some fabric and some iron on adhesives.

She sent me back the neatest clock. She used my fabric and then she downloaded pictures from my profile of my pets and my so and my craft work and used a picture for the numbers. I cried. Fang doesn't know it but one of my cats, Roscoe (5:00) has passed away in the past few days. Plus having the pics of my son. It is so personal and so special. Thank you so much. I am so lucky to have had you for a trade partner twice in a row now!!!

This is insane. The nesting bowls that Peggy made for me, with crochet on the outside and edges, and fabric inside, and lovely sewing accents, and and and SOOOOOOOOOOOO soft and fuzzy on the edges, almost alive....

I tribe mailed her this huge long list of comments and questions of awe and inspiration. I have never owned anything this nice I don't think. I told her they look as if they were stolen from some high class gallery. I am going to photograph them in natural daylight -- so sorry to make you wait, but I am exhausted anyhow. Will post the photos tomorrow if all goes well.

She couldn't have nailed my colors and textures anymore on the head. Peggy I forgot to mention I used to make batique wall hangings and clothing, so those fabrics are quite special to me.

I am feeling so amazed. I keep picturing these in my new home, if all goes well and we get the place we're working toward getting.... I know right where these will go.

Thank you so from my heart, Peggy. Thank you.

Beautiful bowls, neat clock
Great art guys

I returned home to find a box...
I opened it to find a box...
It was a bright colorful box, with feathers...
I opend it it to find MAGIC!!!!
I gasped when I opened it!

It was half fuzzy glittery balls of all brigth colors glued into a colorful bakcgorund adn the other half with white painted patten with gems strategically placed

It is Pandora's box, and it's open ;)

Love it Anne!
