August swap

We had a swap in a Facebook group I'm in. We have had swaps before, I attended twice, this is my third time. You can read more about the last times here: http://hannahsminiatyrer.blogspot.se/search/label/Swaps
I love swaps =) Its so exiting, you don't know what to get. And sometimes you might get something you never would have bought or made yourself, and that is very exiting I think =) It gets you to think in new ways. And it's great to trade things you don't use or in my case, things you have made yourself and have to much of ;)

This is what I gave away =)

Lisbeth got this:

A needlefelted cactus, a saw, an angle, a "christening

candle" (In Sweden every one who gets baptised gets a candle with this red symbol on it, don't know if you get this in any other countries?! =) ), a swedish flag, some coffee-filters, a cat and some bananas. Everything except the bananas are handmade by me =) And I did send her some linen too.

Magdalena got this:

A needlefelted cactus, a saw, an angle, a golden frame, a golden cup, some slices from a strawberry cane, a liquorice-cake, a scull with a candle, and some blue fake suede fabric.

 This is also handmade by me, except for the fabric ;) 

And Sarah got this:

A mannequin, a needlefelted cactus, a saw, an angle, a pair of shoe blocks, some bananas, a piggy bank (or a rabbit bank =) ), a toy- Volkswagen Bus and 6 Clarice Cliff inspired art deco plates.
And like the other things, These are also handmade by me, except the bananas and the mannequin =)

(I will make a post of how I made the Volkswagen Bus later =) )

And this is what I got:

From Pernilla:

She had made a book and bread and sent a plate and the thing I was most impressed by, a tiny table cloth that she had crochet with sewing thread =) Amazing work =) Very cute package. Thank you very much!

From Linda and Sarah:

The card in the back is a painting of Carl Larsson a well-known Swedish artist =) I wonder if I can us that in the mini-world too?! =)

I got a very nice small printed fabric and two very thin pieces of leather (I might "have" to do more bags now =) ) and a little box with salmon slices, (I have tried to do salmon slices before, but I failed, so I know how impressive these are ;) ), an angle, roses, a skull and two hangers (they are actually paper-clips for scrapbooking) I asked in the Facebook group if anyone had seen these before, and a couple of days later that's what I got in my swap =) very funny! and the flower is made by Linda, very beautiful and the little charm is made by Sarah, so cute, very kawaii-looking =)

A big package from Sara =)
A "whiteboard" for a café/ bakery, ( I always wanted to make a bakery, so this will be perfect, when I get on with that idea ;) ) some straws (for making drinking glass or jars), a football (I believe this is a rubber =) ) and a watering can (also a rubber) bathroom scale (I was only just thinking of making one of these for my house, but now I don't have too =) ), a small house, Styrofoam egg and water-balloons (for make balloons), plastic sticks to use with glue or paint or what ever I like ;), a beautiful white mirror, a pacifier, a lock and a key, a clock (That Sara made of a button), a candy bar (made by Sara), 2 toothbrushes that can be cut to make dish-brushes, some rubber band (for making wholegrain pasta), one pair of flatware, some "spider web", a cup of chocolate and a "dammsugare" (like a cookie) on a plate (made by Sara) and brown air-drying clay.


Great swaps =)

I'm so happy with my packages =) Like the other times I have joined swaps =)

Take care
