The summer seemed to fly by and in a couple of weeks, Sienna begins school! It&#8217;s just nursery school for 3 hours a day but this will be the first time she is away from me for so long. This is just the beginning. Before I know it, she will be in real school all day!! I can&#8217;t even imagine. At any rate, this post isn&#8217;t about Sienna! Here are some of the swaps I sent during the summer!<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/shakerpc.jpg\" alt=\"shakerpc.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nA shaker postcard swap. My partner likes lighthouses so I dug through my archives and found this photo I took when Yves and I went to Washington State right before Sienna was born.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/owlstitch.jpg\" alt=\"owlstitch.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nAn owl stuffie from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.interweavestore.com\/Sewing\/Magazines\/Stitch-Fall-2009.html\" target=\"_blank\">Stitch Fall 09<\/a> magazine. I&#8217;ve already made the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/luluvision\/4854289426\" target=\"_blank\">raccoon<\/a> and the chipmunk is the last one in the trio!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/woodlandprofile.jpg\" alt=\"woodlandprofile.jpg\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/insidepouch.jpg\" alt=\"insidepouch.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThe owl stuffie was part of the Woodland Profile swap. I made my partner an owl pouch, woodland creatures glass magnets, hedgehog keychain, and a mushroom keychain.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/catglittersquare.jpg\" alt=\"catglittersquare.jpg\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/catglittercircle.jpg\" alt=\"catglittercircle.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been experimenting with some glitter and rub ons (print my own rub ons that I got for my birthday from Yves). I made the top one into a keychain for a keychain swap and the bottom one is a pendant for a WTA in one of the groups I&#8217;m in.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/birdspc.jpg\" alt=\"birdspc.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nBird pc for a mail art group<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/redfloral.jpg\" alt=\"redfloral.jpg\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/orangefloral.jpg\" alt=\"orangefloral.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nI joined a swap to make Red flowers from this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carinagardner.com\/2010\/05\/24\/felicity-fabric-flower-pattern-free-download\/\" target=\"_blank\">pattern<\/a>. I had so much fun making them that I joined the swap to make orange ones. I almost did not want to send the orange ones away. (Unfortunately I&#8217;m still waiting for the orange swap from my partner and it&#8217;s past the due date. argh!)<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/owlleavesearrings.jpg\" alt=\"owlleavesearrings.jpg\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/brasscircles.jpg\" alt=\"brasscircles.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nWe had 3 partners for a handmade earring swap. The above 2 sets were for someone I knew personally!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/starsearrings.jpg\" alt=\"starsearrings.jpg\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/flyingpigsearrings.jpg\" alt=\"flyingpigsearrings.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThese 2 sets were for the host of the swap, who likes flying pigs (I had her for a partner before!)<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/3whiteflowers.jpg\" alt=\"3whiteflowers.jpg\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/purpletrees.jpg\" alt=\"purpletrees.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nIt was hard to make this last set for the last partner because she really didn&#8217;t indicate her likes in her profile. Still waiting to hear if she likes these!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/deerfullcolor.jpg\" alt=\"deerfullcolor.jpg\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/deerclosecolor.jpg\" alt=\"deerclosecolor.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThis was for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sublimestitching.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sublime Stitching<\/a> embroidery swap. I had bought these <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colonialpatterns.com\/index.php?cPath=29_37&amp;osCsid=fcf65d870f89d914b57fb801b7debb08\" target=\"_blank\">Aunt Martha paint pens<\/a> thinking I could use them to color in the patterns (I see such beautiful coloring by so many people!) They didn&#8217;t turn out the way I thought (it&#8217;s supposed to be used for outlining, why would you want to do that?!) Anyway, I figured out how to use them, which I&#8217;ll show in another post. Here I used my gocco fabric paint for the brown and used the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colonialpatterns.com\/index.php?cPath=29_38&amp;osCsid=fcf65d870f89d914b57fb801b7debb08\" target=\"_blank\">glitter paint<\/a> from the same Aunt Martha order.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/circusnotecards.jpg\" alt=\"circusnotecards.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThese notecards were for the Hand Carved Stamp group. I just finished reading <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookbrowse.com\/reviews\/index.cfm?book_number=1826\" target=\"_blank\">Water for Elephants<\/a> and was inspired to do a circus theme. I carved the circus tent, CIRCUS, elephant and ringmaster. I even had some clown scrapbook paper!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/bunnyglasspendant.jpg\" alt=\"bunnyglasspendant.jpg\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/birdbracelet.jpg\" alt=\"birdbracelet.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nAnd finally, for the woodlands wearable swap (I&#8217;m finally happy with the photos) ! I made my partner a bunny pendant necklace and a bird bracelet. I&#8217;ve gotten a lot of uses out of the woodland graphics I got from Etsy seller <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/planfstudios\" target=\"_blank\">Plan F Studios<\/a> and the bird is from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/piddix\" target=\"_blank\">Piddix<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t believe it is already September!
