The Elephant and the Carrot

Here are a couple of adorable items I received as part of a personal swap with Javastain from Craftster. The elephant is adorable and I have named him Jose and the carrot is named Carrot Top. Javastain is the wonderful organizer of the Sweatshoppe Swap on Craftster and this swap is by far my favorite.

Round 4 of the Sweatshoppe Swap will be starting soon. You can get details by clicking on the Craftster link to the left. Go check it out!

Thanks Java!!

P.S. – Don’t forget to Check out the Swap I’m hosting on Swap-Bot. It’s the “Pimp Your Wares” Swap.

“Pimp Your Wares” Swap

I am hosting a Craft Swap on Swap-bot. It’s the “Pimp Your Wares” Swap. This is a fun swap to share your crafty and creative talents with other craft swappers. If you are a Seller, this would be a great swap to join. You can get a sample of your work out there and get some advertising too! You would create something that best represents what you sell and send business cards along with your swap item.

To join in the swap; which is open to everyone; go to  Swap-bot.com and look for the “Pimp Your Wares” Swap hosted by Divinity Designs.  Follow the directions on “How to Sign up”

Hope to see you there!

Happy Crafting!

A Custom Fit

I love working with Glass and I especially like creating Custom pieces. This piece was created for a friend who had a specific color combo in mind. I had an idea and tried a couple of experiments but this pendant was the final result. I was pleased and my customer was equally pleased. It’s a Great Day when someone gives me the Creative License to create something OOAK for them…..but it’s an even greater day when they are pleased with their purchase.

A Swapping Good Time!

Over the next few days I am going to pay tribute to the Great Swap Partners I have had and share pictures of the great items I have received. This picture shows items I received from a Wonderful Crafter that goes by the name of BlooCanoe on Craftster.org. She invited me to be her partner in the “Invite Your Partner Summer Fling” Swap on Craftster.org. I was so happy to be her partner. She created some great gifts for me and as I was opening up the packages I was squealing with delight.

She made me a knitted penguin named Filbert. He is plumb and soft. I received felted soaps that smell delicious, a handfelted wristlet handbag, a panta – the first panta I have ever owned and some Candy.

I have to tell you that Filbert is very popular with my co-workers. I took him to work and he has been cuddling up with everyone but something happened today…..Filbert has been kidnapped! I received a Ransom note…found it in my chair….it said to bring something good to eat Monday Morning and Filbert will be returned…if not…..Filbert’s fate is unknown. OMG…I need some recipes!
