SEPT/OCT Mini Swap - 45 entered!

[DuckyBelkins]

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.

How did you get your stitching to fit to the button so perfectly? Did you use one of those button-making thingies? :O

BMH-could we pretty please with a cherry on top get a pattern for the emerald/ruby/sapphire? Those are gorgeous and I must make them for myself!

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

Ditto! Absolutely love those gifts, but I do tend to go a little crazy over almost anything Zelda related... back to watching the mailbox...

BlackMageHeart and JokeOFaRomantics gifts are SOOOOOOO COOOLLL!!! I love them! BMH you really went all out! RAWRMonster deserves such an awesome gift, especially because the gifts she made for me were so cool! And I LOVE JokeOFaRomantics buttons, they turned out so cute! And of course I love the kitty in the picture too ; )

Ok ok ok, I SWEAR mine is going to be shipped in a few days. It turned out WAY bigger than I thought, but I'm really hoping my partner will think it was well worth the wait! Back to stitching!

It was a lot of sizing then resizing. I think I stitched about two of them before I found the dimensions that fit right. Even so, the cape Mario I think should be a bit smaller, but then the sprite wouldn't have looked right. :/

Thank you, I made the patterns myself! Of course I will upload them for everyone to enjoy

BMH you really went all out!

Yeah, I think I went too far, but once I got making them I just couldn't stop!

EDIT: Put up some patterns for the Stones for you all to enjoy - viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4423 <3

Everyone's gifts are wonderful! BMH, you did go all out!
I have to say, I'm so glad to be on this board and part of the swap. This is a great group of generous people.

My thoughts exactly. I'm a member of god knows how many things, but this is the board I call home

I enjoyed organising the swap for you all, I hope I did a good job! ^^

With this being the first swap I have ever participated in, I think you have done a wonderful job. It makes me want to continue participating in more swaps and challenges, and also do my best to become more of a contributor to the community here!
