Year of Enchantment Swap

I am participating in Yarnigras', Year of Enchantment Swap. This is a year long event with one swap taking place every month. January's Swap theme was pine cones & acorns. My partner was Gin of Keepsake Moments. She spoiled me with pine cones!!!

She made me these Chorus Line Cuties! The cutest chorus line garland of girls made from pine cones! And she painted me a pine cone on a piece of clear acrylic. I think it will have to go up in my kitchen window - Christmas ribbon and all! And if that weren't enough, she gave two pine cones shaped glitter candles. Thank you Gin!!!!

I made her a pine cone ornie (pattern courtesy of dear ol' Martha!). And sent her one of the lingerie bags that I like to make.

And I also won the January doorprize that is part of the YOE Swap. It is the most awesome calendar of work done by Charley Harper. And a bookmark - most useful for a bookworm!

Thank you Val!!!

Some links - a giveaway and a swap

Been a crazy, busy week. So I am kinda late in getting these two links posted.

First a give-away. A friend, Sarah of Cottage Garden Studio, is having a give-away for TWO of her fantabulous pen & ink drawings! How cool is that!? She will draw the lucky winners' names on April 28th. Hurry! Don't be late!

And then a swap. Zan of Wild at Heart Art is hosting a Swap. The theme is Under the Sea. The deadline to sign-up is May 8th. To quote Zan, " ***The Mission: Create a fantastical creature that lives in the great, mysterious waters. " The creations from this one are going to be awesome!! I can hardly wait to see them!
