For Ongoing Wish Swap! I love that swap, guys. Anyway, I claimed lindyv321 for an address book, some inchies, and a wisty surprise. The wisty surprise didn’t really work out, but the address book is really cool (and probably took over two hours anyway). First, the inchies: I’m quite proud of these, actually. They’re very [...]

So… I made another OWS claim recently. I claimed Faux_Valentine for some monster-themed goodies and a wisty surprise. For the monsters, I made another monster chunk: out of Sugar and Cream and Serendipity Tweed. I also made an iPod cozy: out of Wool-Ease and some nylon Fun Fur I had around. Cute, right? I like [...]
