hope she gets it soon. I mailed buttons to Dotcomdtcm, about 60 miles west of me in New York City, a month later, it came back to me all ripped up in a miler from the PO. It never got off the island. weird. hope she gets it soon.
My partner should have rec'd. her pc yesterday, definitely today. So, if you got it, let me know, I'm getting worried about that working it's way around the states.
have a great day everyone. getting snow tomorrow again.

O.K., so the P.O. promised me delivery on Friday, so here it is 6:45 EST, on Saturday, and my swap partner hasn't posted yet. Oh dear partner, did you get your pkg yet. Please give me back my false hope I have in the US Post Office and let me know it got there on time.
I hope their pants are on fire for this one!!!!!
Hopefully, Monday we start to get some cool pictures coming in. going to search for my March Pincushion inspiration.

Lynnie, a while back you said you might do a kite theme or st. pats. for march. Have you decided? Sorry I didn't post pictures. batteries are dead in my camera. Have a good evening all.

lynnie

first----- I just had a horrible thought. Maybe my partner got her pc from me and hated it, and that's why she's not saying anything. OMG. maybe that's it.

second----I'm trying for st pat's. will let you all know tomorrow. If not, I have Mardi Gras (Ithink, gotta ck and see if it's in March or April this yr. what am I saying, it's always in march, unless easter is in march, then it's feb. Never mind).
so, i'll be making up my mind tomorrow, if I can get what I want, great. If not, do I start in with the FIMO??????
or do I go easy on myself and do the kite theme. Oh...what to do, what to do.
Mary, what's your plans???? any hints???

I got that bead at JoAnn's in a 7" strand of beads. I only have one bead store near me and I went yesterday and she really didn't have what I wanted. I went to Michael's and got some strands on sale for $1.99. I should have gotten more. I have more snow today and already shovelled 3" and I think there is as much out there now so I'll be shovelling again. I am so done with this winter.

lynnie

Snow again!!! we are waiting for it. should arrive about 3 or so. You found nice beads there. Here, they have strands, but they're all the same, little beads and nothing like yours. you have really nice ones

This is what I made today. Next one I make will be better as I can see a lot of mistakes. I'd show you my strands with the coordinating beads but I took them apart.

lynnie

this is the nicest one I've seen. looks like you stuffed it very well also.

Mary, I'm not making the kite, I found what I needed.
I might make 2 as what I'm making doesn't measure up to 4" x 4"
it's slightly less, but it will be timely and cute and functional.
I don't know if someone would mind it being 3 x 4. so go ahead
and do the kite if you'd like. I'm sticking with the green theme.

Went to Michaels, they got in new beads, but the line went to the door
and my back said it was time to leave, so i'll go tomorrow.

nhnative----love your little figgy pudding also

Thanks it was pretty easy except for having to use the glue gun. I didn't know that the pincushions were supposed to be a certain size? I went to Michael's yesterday and they had beads on sale so of course I bought some.
