What I really did last week.

Last week I worked on lots of projects that I couldn't show, but I got them finished and in the mail by the end of the week. Now they have been received (I am impressed with the US Postal System - very fast) and I can share them.

First, I put together some things for Natasha for the Favorite Things Swap. I made her a hostess apron and tote. I also included a subscription to Blueprint, my new favorite magazine and some chocolate. Chocolate is definitely right at the top of my list of favorite things, right behind air.


I also made a bag and diaper wallet for my good friend, Phoebe. I forgot to take pictures before I sent it away, but she blogged about it here if you want to take a look. I used an Amy Butler print and I really like how it turned out. I'll be doing more of these for the shop in the near future.

And, I also got some fantastic mail yesterday. Jenn and I swapped some items from our shops and mine arrived yesterday. Look how lovely! I put them right to use and then took a picture of my great sewing book and pin cushion. It looks like she's got another set in her shop, just in case you want one of your own.

Very nice! I love Jenn's sewing books. You were very busy last week!

Oh Jessi, I love everything you sent - thank you! And the magazine and chocolate definitely came in handy while I was home today with sick kids and feeling sorry for myself. Nothing like chocolate, especially dark chocolate, to make things better!

So glad you like your sewing set! : )

After I saw how pretty the colors that you chose were - I made one more set with that combo.

Looks like the pincushion is getting ALOT of use! : )

I'll be showing off my apron on my blog later today - I LOVE it!!!

Very cute things! I followed the link to the bag you made in the Amy Butler fabric for your friend that is expecting. Loved it!

I agree that chocolate would be right up there with air as one of my favorite things as well! :)

I love Jenn's sewing books too, I use mine for my monkey making bag. Her pin cushion is in my sewing room window as we speak.
Love the apron & tote, those are great.
