Wild Olive Swap

i just realized I never posted any follow up about the Wild olive embroidery swap! Here is the amazing embroidery I received:

Isn't it amazing? I LOVE it so much!!!


Here is what I made for my partner:

My partner, like so many of us, liked owls so I found a vintage pattern and sewed away... Other than i suck as a swap partner I loved participating in this swap. I had a lot of fun finding a cute pattern and making it. I just wish I wasn't so late in sending it off, but I'll do better next swap!

Spawn Attack!

Ahh spring break.... A lovely time when all the spawn are home and I neglect my blog. My kids are keeping me on my toes and to add to the fun my husband has a MAN COLD!!!! Oh no, not that! Yes my dears, 'tis true my husband needs to be babied as well this week. So far I have dragged the kids out to the park for a walk that took way too long because we got lost in the woods, fun! I am still massaging my sore calf muscles from that one! I also have kicked them out of the house to play with neighbors the majority of the time. Today we are going down to the river to play on the rocks and hopefully not get lost again! I also have to stop by the post office because I am the lamest swap partner EVER! I still have not sent off my Wild Olive swap yet. I have no excuse other than I am eternally busy and I feel awful about it. What's so ridiculous is that I finished my embroidery for the swap ages ago but just haven't gotten to the frickin' post office. I suck.

So sweet blog, until next time!

Oh Boy Am I nervous!

So today I signed up to do a swap online. I signed up for an embroidery swap through Wild Olive: http://wildolive.blogspot.com/2012/02/first-wild-olive-stitch-swap.html#comment-form I've done several swaps through Punky Moms and one through Craftster but this is my first time doing a swap through a blog! I'm so excited but nervous, what if my stuff sucks? Oh well, I signed up and am going to rock it out!

On another great note, my BFF is now 99% cancer free!!! She's so freakin' awesome and I am so happy for her!!! I love you BFF!!!!
