Just from what I have gathered being the Hostess on any of these swaps sound like a lot of work and somwone doing emailing something like that, all I can think of is WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? If I didn't like it I wouldn't be here every night. Thanks Elizabrat for your hard work. It is appreciated!!!!!
    I was a lurker for a long time, then got brave..now I do a lot of lulling people to sleep with my looong posts..lol...
    Maybe you'd like to jump in and sign up sometime, too??
    Either way, we're happy to have you!

    Well, I love them, Lynnie!!
    I wish I wasn't such a visual learner...or I'd try to make some. For my lil granddaughter, my daughter-in-law, me...
    I've read your instructions several times, and my thick skull can't get it..
    It's not your explaining, it's my "not getting"..lol
    And, no, I'm not asking Lynnie to make me any of these shoes..
    However, if she wants to make a tutorial, well, who am I to stop her??

    Oh, Corn! (My mom's fave "curse" word), I just remembered you can't post pics, Lynnie...Dagnabbit (my fave curse word).

    I love watching little birds outside my window! here we have BIG birds though. the tree is loaded with doves (the smallest ones out there) and big black and whites think maybe they are mocking birds but no idea and then owls and sometimes an eagle too. definitely not small birds lol. In summer little ones will come and eat the seed I throw out there but I miss all the little ones ! they definitely make one think of spring time.

    I think we half about half in now? so that means.. .more pictures coming! yahoo! yippee! make sure you take a picture of your mug rug before you send it. this way if your partner doesn't post you can and we get to see all the mug rugs out there. I can hardly wait for next month. Its going to be sweet seeing those coming back in. oh yes it will!

    On another note I received a beautiful mug rug from jan Rutherford! Paper pieced flower , ribbon and fat quarters and tea! I will post pictures when I get to my sewing room computer! Thanks Jan! We have met some true.y beautiful friends on this board and in these swaps!
    Nuts!! I can't get a picture to load! I was able to start a new post with pictures so I'm doing something wrong! Jan should get her rug on Monday and she can't post either...we are a good pair!

    Kiffie, i'm a visual learner too, you could write it simple and plain but without
    a picture, i'm lost. I tried my best, but words are words and a picture is worth 1,000
    words. so if I had a camera, you know i'd do it for you. try googling it someone
    must have done a tute on it somewhere along the line.
