SEPT/OCT Mini Swap - 45 entered!

[LinkIsMyHomeboy]

LinkIsMyHomeboy I'll have to take you up on that soon. I could stitch him myself but I've never made a keychain before so I wouldn't even know where to start on that front!

PM me your addy and I'll see if I can get it made this weekend.

My cat kept trying to play with the buttons. She loves mario too. These are super-sweet!

[LinkIsMyHomeboy]

Those Mario buttons are SUPER cute! Where do people find things to make buttons that size?!

[blackmageheart]

Loving the recent gift arrivals. All very cute and wonderful!
(Definitely convinced I went overboard on mine now! )

Today was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. I had lots of school work and no time to do it, and then I found out my skirt was ripped all day. Sigh.

Then, I come home to find a package from the UK.

What could it be?

Could it be my SWAP GIFT?!?!

It was my present from blackmageheart!!!





A beautiful card, a magic bean poly clay necklace, a bag with the Kokiri Emerald, Goron Ruby, and Zora Sapphire stitched in metallic(!) thread, and a WOODEN(!!!) sign with my username cross-stitched in Hylian (if I'm not mistaken)! There's even little tufts of grass and a poly clay bug on the base!!! I'm totally going to put this on display at my UltimaCon booth next year!

BMH, thank you so, so much. I nearly cried. This brightened my day like you couldn't even imagine.

Also,

Glad everyone's feeling good about the swap! Since you're all thinking about what you're going to make, I feel like now is a good time to remind you all to keep your projects small! Remember, it's supposed to be able to fit inside a standard envelope!

BMH is terrible at following her own rules.

Yes, yes I am. It started out a lot smaller but the original wooden sign smashed and I didn't have any more of that stuff, so I improvised! What can I say?

BMH, thank you so, so much. I nearly cried. This brightened my day like you couldn't even imagine.

I nearly cried when I read this! I'm so happy you like everything. I would be honoured if you displayed it at your booth. And yes, that says RAWRmonster in Hylian!

[RAWRmonster]

Oh, also

Hope my partner will think it's worth the wait, though

Yes.

I cannot even begin to tell you how absolutely jealous I am of Rawrmonster's gift. There are no words. Excellent job, BMH! Gorgeous!

[JokeOFaRomantiic]

AHHH I'm so glad you like your gifts, about22over7. I was worried after seeing everyone elses awesome (mostly larger) gifts that mine was kind of small. (I wanted to do more, but haven't had time. Work and school full time and my wedding coming up in like 5 months but still have so much to do )

LIMH - I got the button kits from JoAnn. This is what I used for the buttons, and then just hot glued these to the back. I'm not sure of their staying power - those three were the first ones I've made.

See, I have some of those pin thingies that I usually just sew to a "blank" piece of plastic canvas and then sandwich them together. It just seems like the button things make it more finished. I may have to try your method and see if it works for me. Thanks for the info!
