xmas in july atc swap

My first attempt at knitting a mini sock turned out too big, so I sent it as an extra, with a lip balm stuffed inside.

I went a little overboard on this atc- the mantle is contructed of balsa wood and stirring sticks that I glued and stained. The sock is hand knit- 6 stitches done in the round! The fireplace has real soot and real wood logs. This sock is 1/3 of the size of the above sock.This is an abstract - part of a xmas tree.
I made a xmas card to send along with this swap.

bird swap

the theme was a birds for this atc swap, and I made a bird relataed card to go along.

bday in Germany

A person posted a request for bday cards for an elderly lady in germany who has little family, so I sent this.

monster swap

I get to make another monster. This time it is for a regular swap, so I will get one back. This one will belong to a little boy in Chicago.. he said he liked squares and green so I did my best. His name is Silver and he also likes dogs so I made a card to go with the package.
