Harry Potter swap gifts to Iamsta

Here, in a nutshell, are the knitted/crocheted things I made.
Snape ... transfiguration spelled into Mr. Spock.

Wand mitts with Gryffindor colored owls and her full name in Runes.

                                 A phoenix feather quill, and a time turner tape measure.

These are the needlwork handmades. Here is a photo of all of her gifts.

And yes, I made her a wand from my Ash tree with a phoenix feather (cardinal) core. It is able to be

openned to see the feather.

Shawl pin, tote, seeds,  stitch markers, patterns and more.

I am glad she loved it all.

BBC Baby.. What I got... wow..

I received the most awesome package from plainsimplegarak! I begin by saying upon opening the box, the first package that said  me first.. was treats for Rebel.  These kept him busy while I sorted out the rest.. oh my..

BBC Baby Swap March/April 2012

Here is a photo of the handmades I made for my spoilee, winterblizzard.  I did a Doctor Who theme for her. I made her Steampunk inspired Doctor Who Scarf wrist warmers, a little Tardis Fascinator hat, complete with real Blue Jay feathers, I made little charms of resin with her photo with the Doctor in them, and hand painted shoes with her favorite images and people from the show. Hope she liked it.

Ghost Swap goodness!

Another fabulous Ravelry swap has ended. The Ghost Stories swap. Here are the goodies I received from the wonderful Megdoula!

First of all, I received this very cool Photo box with spider webs on it. Do I need a photo box, heck yes! Also SweeTarts and yummy Choc. Raspberry Dove.. oh my, so decadent!

There was a Harry Potter card with a lovely note as well.

And, why was Rebel so interested in this box? He got some yummy treats and this oh, so, cute Halloween collar with little bats on it!

The dishcloth with the bat, is sort of a request. I wished that each of my spoilers would send me one dishcloth so that I could make a swap afghan. This is the second 5th one I have received!

She also send this BEAUTIFUL yarn! Wow, it is prettier in person. Awesome Spoonflower fabric swatch with vampires on it for my Halloween quilt, cute ceramic ghost, and handmade Halloween bottle cap magnets. So clever.

And last but not least, actually my favorite thing, a needle felted necklace of

Zero, the ghost dog from the Nightmare Before Christmas! I love it soooo much! I don't know

 how she did such small detail.. it is great

Thanks again Megdoula!

Watch here for Dr Seuss

I am in a Dr. Seuss swap at the moment. I have created 3 patterns. I can't show them yet, but when I can, I am going to be selling them for $2 each or all for $5. They are super cute, especially if you like Dr. Seuss!

Spider panel

This is a pattern I found on Ravelry. It is supposed to be a purse, but, I think it will be a pillow, as I have 4 Halloween purses. Isn't it great? It is based on a Barbara Walker pattern in her book 3, Third Treasury of Knitting Patterns. It is large enough for a small pillow. Love..
