DUST team Craft swap!

Tuesday the mailman came and delivered two parcels. One was a brick pretending to be a Unit readings booklet. The other was my craft swap with Del from DELicious Designz.

Mr Flopsy Bunny has made it to my 'do not sell' shelf. My ring is in the picture too, but right now its on my finger! Ahem, maybe should have looked at what books were in the photo before taking the shot!?! Sorry!

So now I can share some pics of the two little guys that have just found a new home. Del has posted some pics on her blog also, I had forgotten how cute they were!






Blue monkey and Purple Girraffe went to Holland before they begun their journey to chilly Albany!

Thinking I might sign up for the next one, even though I dont really have the time, it was good fun!

oh so slack blogger!


Ok finally pulling my finger out and writing in this little box.

Yesterday I sent my DUST craft swap parcel to Del in Albany. Unless Australia Post is feeling especially punctual, it should be there around wednesday next week. Im pretty excited, and when she has it I will put up some photos...Its always hard to say goodbye to amigarumi! AND I have a new product line (LOL, sounds serious) the cutest little cherry earrings. When my little sister Rebecca comes over I will take some photo's and put them on Etsy. I already have an order for a friend in Bunbury. And Del is my first guinea pig. I wore them to work yesterday and everyone loved them.

Meanwhile, I have two essays and a test due in the next week, hence not being here much! I should go read Macbeth right now!

I downloaded a pattern from ravelry, I have been wanting to make a fox for ages, and I love Lindsay Smith's designs.
This one is heading straight to my bed!

April DUST craft swap

I signed up for the DUST April craft swap and found out yesterday that I have been partnered with Dell from DELicious Designz. She has two girls, 8 and 10, which great! The girls have suggested they would like a blue monkey and a purple giraffe. Off to the drawing board!

Del's resin jewlery is lovely, and I love the Alice themed pendants. This is my first swap, I hope she will be happy. I might sneak something in for her also, shhhh dont tell.

The new butterfly's in the shop still haven't had a proper photo shoot! You cant really see the wings but its enough to get the idea. After much prompting from Meagan the very girly pink
butterfly was born. People seem to really like the boggley eyes so Im trying to encorporate them more.

On a Literary note, I have finished almost all my Chaucer reading, and Im moving on to Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida soon. I hope everyone has a relaxing and safe easter weekend, and think of me snowed under school work and mid-season sale dramas at work!
