This little dolly says Hello!

She's been keeping me company these days, cleaning,taking photos and arranging everything, I had a very fun Holiday Rest but as a result the house, computer and craft room is still a mess, I have to store the Christmas goodies for next year and take our the Valentine stuff for the upcoming month.
You may ask yourself were did I found such lovely company? well I received her in a very special envelope from Kat :) I adore her and I had to keep her, thanks Kat, I also loved your pretty HK card!

I've also received many other great gifts ^_^ from you guys, I had to take lots of photos and I'm still not done with everything want to see more?

Diana sent me a square of this pretty Jap. Fabric along with an ornament she made and other fabric :), Thanks a bunch this fabric is adorable!

My friend Saki sent me lots of goodies for me and Scarlett, but the Wee Micro Plush Ninja is one of my favorites, he's so darn cute, I will have to keep him in his black bag , because I don't want him to get dirty. Thanks SAKI :)

If you are curious about all the goodies I got, check all the pics at My Flickr

And Yes I started Swapping :), These two are from the first batch of swaps of this year :), I have two other swaps in the works, how exiting!

Lots of Frogs and Cherry's are going to Mia form Portugal, I've collecting froggy-cherry items and fabrics for her,fabrics and stationery, I hope she loves them.

Today seems to be cooler than Yesterday and that's great news for me, because I hate sewing when It's hot I always get all sweetie eww, I was sewing late at night and I'm almost done with the motorcycle bag, and let me say it's coming along great, Now I'm sewing the inner pockets and the straps and then star cutting the other bag, they're cute big and heavy and my arms hurt a bit for lifting it. I also made a precious pin cushion for the ::: Bag of Treats :: Swap I'm preparing, photos of that one soon ;).

Anyway here is what I'm sending to the :CRAFT Matchbox Swap: the theme for this month is - Fruity Craft Supplies-, as soon as I read the theme title i knew I had to join in because I love fruits.

I love apples and I couldn't pass out the opportunity to decorate the matchbox with juicy colorful apples :), this time I didn't paint the box just cover it with a pattern I printed.

Fabrics, ribbon, trims,beads,buttons,embroidery floss, a strawberry pincushion and other embellishments are in this little pack , I hope my partner likes it. I had lots of fun putting all these items together.

This is another pack I sent to moofin from flickr, this is just a peak because I added more things to the swap.

Today I'm gonna try and finish the motorcycle bag and another small bag I'm doing for a the Bag of treats swap :), I already cut the pieces form one of my favorite Japanese fabrics :), it's going to look so pretty. Well take Care and Enjoy the weather!

ta ta ..

What a Lovely Bag! ^_^

Hi!

I got lots of pictures to show you but as always I've been lazy lol, yesterday I took pictures of all the swaps I've received and now it's time to give my swap partners proper thanks!

First let me tell you that I adore this bag, the fabric the shape everything, it's perfect I can filled it up with letters and envelopes without looking bloated lol and the best part is that's reversible ! It has red fabric on the inside, I'm so happy with it, this is my favorite item form the private swap I did with - Craftsty -form flickr

These are the rest of the goodies ^_^, lots of yummy Japanese candy ( all the boxes are empty now X_X ),Lovely fabrics and buttons, HK deco-tape and my second favorite the Little House Stationery that resembles Decole illustrations :)

oh!! and Scarlett loved this guy over here, Craftsty made it :) she makes super cool goodies with felt,I've always wanted to try needle felting myself but I always forget to buy the stuff I need, there's something nice about the wool, it looks like cotton candy, makes me want to eat it lol.

:: Thanks A Bunch Babz for your awesome package, I hope you liked mine as much as I enjoyed
yous ^_^ ::

And this is the little box I got from Brittney Bush from the :: Kawaii Matchbox Swap :: the theme was "Things with wings", love the ladybug ribbon and the candy she sent but Scarlett again ate most of them.

I'll show you the rest of the goodies in my next post :)

Enjoy your day! ♥

I like the weather today, a little cloudy but not too cold, so it's fine :)

Tomorrow I'm going shopping for a new Camera ^_^ at last!, the one I have is 6 years old X_X and it takes 1.2 MPI pictures , so as you can see I can't take the good quality photos I need to deliver for a secret awesome project with this thing, So I'm thinking of getting one of these, I can't decide --->

Canon PowerShot S3 IS
Canon A640
I wanted the Canon Digital Rebel XTi but that camera is way of my price range right now $_$ LOL

Do you own or have tried any of these Cameras?? Can you recommend me one you like?? I want to choose the best ^_^

I'm, also gonna send some pending packages and going to pick up my mail tomorrow ,I'm expecting some lovely swap packages, can't wait! I love going to the post office.

This cuties is filled with 1" buttons/badges,ladybug sewing buttons, duck buttons,ladybug brooch,an angel chocolate,some kawaii mini memo sheets and other cute goodies ( not shown in picture).

This Lovely Ladybug is for the - Kawaii Matchbox Swap - the theme for this month is "Things with Wings" that's why I painted the box as a ladybug ♥

These Crocheted goodies are for Barbara (-Crafty- from Flickr), this is just a little peek of my end of the swap, I will send her some yummy candy and fabrics among other goodies.

Here are some FQ's of my private collection,I know she likes these prints and colors :), so hopefully she will be happy, more pictures of our swap in my Flcikr Page

Hi Again!

Just a quick little post to let know my Swap Administrators at Swap-Bot that I sent mine just In time ^_^
I hope they get to their destinations really soon

This Package is for the - Super Kawaii Super Swappers Swap - A special VIP swap,I received an invitation and I couldn't resist, I hope my Secret Partner likes everything , this is a peek there's still more goodies in that envelope. I'm all exited can't wait to get mine ^_^

This one is for -My Tiny Box of Joy- they created this swap to erase all the negative feelings about scammers on swapbot and since I've had horrible experiences with Swap-Bot before I decides to give it a try and make someone happy ^_^.

My Secret Partner Loves Happy Potter so I decides to decorate the matchbox with HP Items, I filled the box with 1"buttons and made some little book notepads ^_^, I also send her some coloring-story books I found at a local store.

Yikes! It's Wednesday already !! I've been busy spending some time with Willy and Scarlett,making some buttons and arranging everything for the little swaps I'm gonna send at the end of month.
I'm also taking a lot of photos for the .: Secret Project:. I told you before,so many that my arms hurt lol but it doesn't matter because I'm very exited about everything.

I've also made some time to do this little fun project I wanted to do for a while lol a Yummy crocheted cupcake!, I found the link in the CRAFT blog and I thought It was a really cute idea!
If you want to make some here is the Cupcake Tutorial

Can't wait to make some more with these yarn I bought the other day in Tijuana ^_^, I think the soft pastel colors would look great and the best thing is that these new cupcakes are going to have sprinkles mmm... Yummy!

Also in the months that I was away from my blog I made three :: Wonderful Fabric Swaps :: with two super cool girls.

These are the fabrics I got from my swap with Christina, all flannels, I really like the all but my favorite prints are ; the Pink Skull and The Colorful Whales :)

I sent her these fabrics, two quarters of the Flower Polka Dot in two colors Pink and Orange, A cute kitty print, two more flowery prints and one blue groovy heavy canvas print ^_^ (one of my favorites), she really liked the swap :) so I'm happy, In my next post I'm gonna show you the other two Super Cool Swaps I made with Shanna :).

I think that's enough eye candy for today I hope you have a very .:Crafty Day:.
I'm off to work now
