I have looked at that several times - I do have a few "commitments" to finish up first.

Maybe take that pattern and just practice making a few on my own.

Finally finished an ongoing project - it was put in "timeout" until it decided to behave! Grandson will have a late birthday gift this weekend when they come.

Well the "fun" keeps on coming around here - I fell coming into the garage Thur and spent the afternoon in the ER, then yesterday at the ortho. Have a compression fracture in my right arm and am in a cast for a month. Was just hoping for a removable brace, but where it is had to get the cast. At least it is in a springy purple. Bummer!

Updated list:

Stafar - 2 sets - received
Sleepy Hollow – 4 sets
SewHappyInSF – 1 set - received
Mmonohon - 2 sets
Jannie – 2 sets - received
Bkay – 2 sets
Moonrise – 2 sets – received
Redstilletos - 2 sets
Katie Belle - 2 sets

As you all can see - we could use a few more swappers. If any of you know anyone who might be interested, send them this way. I emailed most of our prior swappers of the new listing.

Oh, man, when it rains, it pours! Hope you heal quickly.

I got my squishy in the mail today, and it should arrive Thursday.

Well!

I fussy cut all my fabrics this weekend. Wowza does that take some time! But both sets are cut and ready to be placed in ziplocks and mailed in. Whew!

Can someone please provide the address where I should send them?

Can't wait to see what I get in return! This is going to be SO much fun!

I am off today finally after 10 days solid, and off again Fri. Things have been absolutely nuts. So cutting my squares and am going to try to get 2 sets cut.

So sorry about your arm. You and my Dad have a matched pair. He was in the garage, helping the delivery guy move in the new garage door, when the strap broke and one of the panels smashed down into his leg, sending him backwards. The front of the panel hit and smashed into his left arm.

Boy you have really been working. Tough to keep going that long, the stress gets tough on the body. I miss tax season until about now, then I think, naw...I don't want to work those kind of hours again. I do miss the interaction with the people and businesses I worked with.

wow Rena....what's going on in your neck of the woods? You've had a run of bad luck like no one else I have seen lately!

Okay, all, I'm attaching a sample of some of the squares I've cut. Are these "fussy" cut enough? First time on this swap and I want to make sure I don't end up with irritated online friends

If these are okay, I'll package up and mail tomorrow morning!

They look great - the frogs are really cute! I always enjoy getting the bags open and seeing all of the cute prints people have found.
