I don’t have to tell you how much I enjoy crafting and making things. Truth be known, tho, left to my own devices I probably wouldn’t get much done! I can procrastinate and get lazy and then I would feel bad and really be down on myself and really never get anything done! It could be a vicious cycle. That’s why I’m so glad for swap-bot<\/a>! Although I sometimes do wait for the last minute with some swaps, I try not to. Here are some recent swaps I’ve sent.<\/p>\n

For the Halloween Felt Fun swap that I forgot to post before:

For the Wearable Kawaii Cute:
\n\"bearbrooch.jpg\"
\nA Bear Brooch from this Felties<\/a> book (which I adore!)
\n\"hkglasspendant.jpg\"
\nA Hello Kitty glass pendant<\/p>\n

For the Crafting Queens group Profile Surprise (send 1 thing they like and 1 thing they craft) so I sent my partner 2 fat quarters and made 3 awareness pins from felt (breast cancer, kidney cancer and asthma).

I’ve joined a bunch of Holiday Ornament swaps and 2 of them were due in October. It was a little hard to get into the Christmas spirit before Halloween!
\n\"gingerbreadsanta.jpg\"
\nThe gingerbread pattern is from Elsie Marley<\/a> and the Santa is from a Japanese craft book I recently got.
\n\"cowsantahat.jpg\"\"angelornament.jpg\"
\nThe above 2 ornaments were for the same partner. The cow I kinda made myself from an image on the internet and the angel is from a Craft n Things archived issue. My partner likes cows and angels!<\/p>\n

The following is for the Wacky Holidays November swap (you pick 4 holidays and send stuff for them)
\n\"partywithbear.jpg\"
\nParty with your Bear day (Nov 16) I crocheted the bear and put a party hat and included invites and confetti.

\nRecipe cozy for Cook Something Bold day November 8 (with some 2 “bold” recipes and blank recipe cards). It was a bit big for the standard recipe cards and I knew that but decided to follow the pattern<\/a> anyway. I should have made it smaller or at least use the recipe cards designed for this.\"deviledeggday.jpg\"
\nI made a felt magnet for Deviled Egg day (Nov 2)
\nThe last holiday I picked was Absurdity Day (Nov 20) and sent a silly fortune fish (the kind you put in your palm to “read” your fortune)<\/p>\n

This last craft I’m posting was actually for a Winner Take All tag on one of the forums. The winner drinks tea so I made this tea bag cozy for her. I think it came out so cute I might have to make one for myself!

\nI can’t find the actual pattern I used but here<\/a> is a similar one.<\/strike> I found the pattern! It’s here<\/a>.
