Remember the bird swap I mentioned a week or two (or three or something) ago? Well, I received from my partner PinkChick today! She sent me a t-shirt with this pretty embroidery: and some lovely earrings: I love them! For more bird goodies, check out the gallery. Now, on a different matter, I’ll be going [...]

I received a couple more swap things this week! First, from leighi123: Two pretty zipper bags and some very pretty cotton fabric that will most likely become a skirt or summery dress. She also sent a sheet of shrink plastic, some pretty sparkly thread, and some chocolate (which I gave to my brother as I’m [...]

Now that we have returned to our regular schedule of me showing off awesome things, it is Mail Call day! I received some swap things and some other things that I will talk about as I get to them. First: I received an OWS claim of supplies from hngoodlett, who COMPLETELY SPOILED ME: That’s a [...]

I received a swap package from icebyrd67. She claimed me for a thread catcher, and it’s great: I’m highly pleased with it. The sand bag bit is attached to the bag with velcro, which will make it easier to clean/empty. At any rate, it’s much much prettier than the plastic cup I’d been using. In [...]

So received my package for the Futurama swap today! I was in a round robin, as I said last time, and the person who sent to me was Tygermane. Here’s what she sent: A box of goodies! With lots of pictures. Magnets! They will have a place of honor on my minifridge until next year, [...]
I’ve Got Mail, Part Two

Seeing as this week is my school’s spring break so most of campus is dead (I got permission to stay in my dorm), I was under the impression that the post office on campus was going to be closed as well. I was anticipating needing to stop any packages I’d receive at the Fredericksburg post [...]

Two packages came in the mail for me on Monday and I was thrilled to receive both. One of them was from Heini from the Ongoing Wish Swap. She claimed me for a clutch from my wists, and it is SUPER CUTE. I don’t know when I’ll have the occasion to use a fancy schmancy [...]

Kudos to the USPS because even though I fucked up with my address on my most recent OWS claim, I got my package today anyway. Like, two days after I called about the zip code thing. They found it and sent it my way almost immediately. Anyway, cjclark claimed me for a reusable sandwich wrap [...]
OWS Stuff

So, I don’t know how many of you are familiar with the graphic novel/movie Watchmen, but it’s a highly awesome gritty social commentary that features probably the coolest villain ever. Anyway, love it, so I was super thrilled to get my OWS package from StephanieGravatt. Check it out: Watchmen made out of Perler Beads! Here’s [...]

It’s been a stash-building couple of weeks. Last week, there was the green roving from the Ongoing Wish Swap (which I’m already halfway through spinning). Then, for my birthday, it was a fiber-pallooza! First, there was this wonderful handdyed green fingering weight: (Unplanned Peacock Studios, Superwash Merino Fingering, Frog colorway, 100g) It was a lovely [...]
