4 x 4 Cards for Ancient Mysteries Swap

I have been behind on my swaps this summer.  Can't imagine why. LOL  The Bast card is for the Egytian 

god card.  Naturally I had to do a cat.

The next one is the animal totem card.  Now I have one more to make and I will be done with this swap, except for a few loose ends.  I have to make a cover, and then hope that I receive my cards from my swap partners.   Right now I am missing two, plus the one that is due this month.  But since I have been late on a lot of mine-haven't even started this months- I think everyone will come through with cards.

I've gotten back to my sewing machine

I saw this cute dress on Esty and decided to order two kits to make dresses for Juliet and Sarah.  The site is http://littlefishbigpond.etsy.com .  Check out the cute kits she has for sale.  They are reasonably priced, all cut out for you, and all materials included.  You just do the sewing, ( the directions are easy and  well written) and the dress is sewn in no time.  I just love the way they turned out and hope that Juliet and Sarah like them.  The red one is for Juliet and the turquoise print for Sarah. 

This is a skirt that I made for Sarah.  MI daughter had bought some fabric for me to make The Girly Stripwork skirt from http://www.pinkfig.typepad.com a while back and of course I misplaced it in my sewing room.  So I finally found the material and made up the strip part of the skirt, only to find out that the material was not what she had bought.  I should have know when I saw the yellow.  So to remedy the situation MI daughter and I headed to the fabric store to find some kind of  "funky fabric" to save the skirt.  We picked the diamond pattern for the drop waistband and the  hem band and were pleased  with the results.

Slide Houses swap

These are the slide mount houses that I made for a swap.  They were a lot of fun to do, and the green one is my favorite.  Can't wait to see what I get back.

I Won!

Yes, I won the fabulous giveaway from My Vintage Studio!  What a beautiful assortment of gifts.  You can see them all above.  First is the great plate that was wrapped in the blue paper with the big flower on it.  Also is the small cup with roses on it.  there are four pieces of lace wrapped around old clothespins that have been stamped.  Too cute, and such a nice idea.  There are two wonderful tags that Sharon made, and believe me that are truly wonderful.  The antique great well cards and souvenir postcards just add to the gift.   Plus there are two vintage hankies and a pair of rose chrystal earrings.  WOW   Sharon  has a vintage blog that you should check out as well as her etsy shop.  Thank you Sharon!

Lucky Dip Angel Swap

The ATC group I belong to had an angel swap, and you chose four angels to depict.  You could use any picture of an angel, but the art work  was to reflect what the angel represents.    Allison, in the UK, was our host and she always comes up with the greatest ideas.  Here are my angels:

Anachel is the angel of fertility

Shushienae is the angel of purity

Zagzagel is the angel of wisdom

Forfax is the angel of astronomy
