Response: LOL thank you! You will be able to use them though, they are 100 % cotton and I bet the insane flowers can pick up some crumbles too ;) This was a very fun swap to participate in!
Response: Thank you, glad you liked it :)
Response: Thank you, hope they came in handy!
Response: Thanks, I liked mine too and got plenty of new ideas!
Response: Thanks for the rating!
Response: Thanks, please let me know the result if you try it :)
Response: Thanks you for your nice comment :)
Response: Thanks, hope they´ll come in use :)
Response: Glad you liked your parcel, hope you don´t have to deal with anymore postalstrikes in the Netherlands from now on ;)
Response: You´re welcome, hope they´ll be used many times :)
Response: Thanks, I am glad they came in handy in several ways then :))))
Response: Thank you, had to figure out some way to add the polka dots and well, it turned out pretty nice ;). Looking forward to yours too, a very merry christmas and hugs to you Kate
Response: I am glad you do, many of them could look pretty awsome together I thought. Thanks for swapping with me, looking forward to the pretty in pink parcel :))))
Response: Glad you liked your parcel and I am the one who ought to say the biggest thank you here, Julia will really love those beads :)))))
Response: Thank you and I wish you the same :) I thought the treemagnet looked so very small so I wanted to add something more and that cupcakepattern was pretty fun so I have continued making a few more :)))
Response: I am glad you liked them, the green yarn comes from a therapycenter at a local hospital. A friend of mine discovered that they also sold yarn to the public so to speak so lucky me got a skein :)
Response: Thank you for your nice comments :)
Response: Glad you liked them, thanks :)
Response: You´re welcome :)
Response: Wow, that´s got to be superfast mail, feels like I went to the PO just yesterday :) Glad you liked it snd hope to swap with you again Patrizia.
Response: Thanks, looking forward to yours too :)
Response: Thanks and I bet we´ll meet again soon in the wonders of dishclothswaps :)
Response: Thanks, I am glad you liked them and they sure did require some work - but it was fun and very creative to think about what to pick for each and every month :)
Response: I am very glad you liked it and now I can tell about my first not so great idea - I had bought a larger, polka dot oilclothpiece in red & white and thought it would be *perfect* for you. Looked nice until I tried to put things in it, seems oilcloth-handles are not the best choice, the bag got big holes in it from just a little weight....Well, this was another piece of fabric with dots so I thought it could be good too :)
Response: Thank you, it was fun making it and my son said woooow, is this for me so guess who´s sewing more of them :)
Response: Thanks, I´ll let you know if I do another later on :)
Response: Thank you for participating, I´ll be looking for a new pattern for the next round and thought we might go for green this time :)
Response: Thanks, I´m thinking about making this a public swap to gather some more interest, let me know what you think :)
Response: Must be the fastest mail ever, feels like I just sent them out :) - glad you liked them and please remember me for future ribbon swaps, can´t get too many of those!
Response: Oh great, I tied it on the front too when I took the pictures and I´m glad you liked it too - yours is already in use :))))
Response: Thanks, it is always easier to make a nice swap when there are some good clues on your partner´s profile :)
Response: Thank you and feel free to pick a colour for our next round :)
Response: Thanks! The one loking like any small purse has got to be the 300th or something made by now ;) my mother and I sell stuff on craftmarkets during the summers and small purses are always a given hit. I´m glad you liked them and hope the ones I receive from my partner have another model so I get some new inspiration :)
Response: Thanks, glad you liked them! I found felt balls www.ornamentea.com/FeltBalls.htm and www.etsy.com/shop/HandbehgFELTS , tried to make them as clickable links first but apparently it doesn´t work on comments. Let me know the result :)
Response: Thank you, glad you liked them :)
Response: Thanks :). When ironing on plastic you need to be quick, firm and use medium heath. The plastic usually bends a bit but will look nice again after having spent a day or two under some heavy books. Works on certain kind of plastic only and they must be quite strong. Thanks for making the swap!
Response: Thanks, I hope so too :)
Response: That has got to be a record in quick delivery, two days for a letter to arrive in Holland is superquick :) Thanks for the rating, let me know if you try the recipe and what you think of it (if anyone is allergic, the almonds is easy to skip, just add some more flour or take sunflower seeds instead).
Response: Thanks for the heart :)
Response: Thanks, hope you come join more of the dishcloth swaps :)
Response: The needles were funniest to make this time and the knitted thing is quite representative of my many, many UFO´s home :))) Thanks for making this swap it was really fun!
Response: Thanks and feel free to come up with more ideas for the little group :)
Response: Thank you, it turned out to be quite fun to sew them so I made a whole bunch for the summermarkets :)
Response: Thanks, I tried to make them as green as possible :)
Response: Oh, I have a son who also claims the swaps sometimes, hope she likes embroidering and thanks for the rating!
Response: Thank you, I was especially pleased to hear that Elliot´s bracelet was sold :)
Response: Oh, thank you for the kind words :) I think these little dolls are great fun to make and it is *very* fun when they come to someone who really likes them!
Response: Thanks, I read a little from your nice blog and think we have a lot in common when it comes to crafts :)
Response: You´re welcome, hope you´ll find a little project for them!
Response: I am glad you liked it and I hope you´ll sign up again! I need a new colouridea for the next round so if you have a favourite let me know ;)
Response: Oh, thank you for this fun group and I hope we´ll swap many more times :)
Response: I got to admit I got a bit stressed about the card and did a few VERY lousy designs fbefore finding the flowers in my stash. Good ideas are supposed to live on so please feel free to take it ;) Thanks for the rating and let me know when you make more fun swaps!
Response: Thank you, hope you´ll join more of my swaps :)
Response: I am happy you liked it and hope it is as purpleish as possible :)
Response: Thanks, please come up with more fun ideas for our little group, this was great :)
Response: Thanks, I had hoped though for larger loops but they were pretty hard to get in place, they tend to try to sneak away :)
Response: Thank you, when reading your profile I thought this might be something you´d like :)
Response: Thank you, please join more of the swaps in our little group :)
Response: Thanks, I thought it was fun to try something a bit different and well, a group founder should get something little extra nice every now and then ;)
Response: This was the 2nd try and still looked very dog-like I got to say :) Anyhow, I am very happy you liked your parcel and it was fun to make elephants!
Response: I am so happy you liked the bookmark, it was fun to make :) Hope to swap with you again!
Response: Oh, I´m so glad you liked it, isn´t it just a great idea!!! Not mine though, I saw it in a larger shape and thought it would look nice as a coinpurse :)
Response: Thank you, half the joy with dotees are the small details so I am happy you liked the little doll :)
Response: Thank you :) please do sign up for the next round too, it is yellow theme now!
Response: The mauve was a definite challenge and engaged all my sewing class :))))) Thanks!
Response: Happy you liked them :)
Response: You´re welcome :)
Response: Thanks for your rating and welcome to a hopefully long serie of dishclothswaps :)
Response: You´re welcome, count me in for more of these swaps :)
Response: Oh, am I glad they have arrived :) Got to say I have no idea how a little letter that usually take like a week to ten days suddenly took over three weeks to arrive. Let´s hope for better service the next time, I really fancy these charmswaps so thanks for arranging them!
Response: Thanks, hope they come in handy and the applepie can of course have icecream with it too if you don´t fancy vanilla sauce :)
Response: Thanks for all your nice comments, this was great fun to make although I got to admit the reslut was more close to a spider than a jellyfish :)))))
Response: Thanks for your comment :) We have used the curls as they are when we felt and they make nice edges or give a fun texture to it. I used to have lots and lots of them so let´s swap again when we´ve stored up some more :)
Response: Thanks for arranging this fun swap and please count me in if you do more colourspecific ones, this was great fun to make and the one I received was fantastic :)
Response: I am very happy you liked it :)
Response: Wooow, they arrived really quickly, happy you liked them and since I didn´t have green cards I thought a green pouch would be nice :)
Response: Yes! I am so happy it arrived safely to her, I was beginning to think it had disappeared in the snow :)
Response: I´m very happy you liked them, please feel free to ask if the instructions don´t look crystal clear :) I think especially for the purse, if you make just a few of them you´ll know it forever. Like riding a bike :)
Response: Thanks for your nice comments, hope you´ll join more of the charm swaps :)
Response: Thanks for your nice comments, I am very happy you liked it :)
Response: Thank you, I´ll let him know :)
Response: You´re welcome, hope you liked the horrific mix and those really awful small ones :))))
Response: Thanks, the dotee was really fun to make although I wanted the hair to have more "unsuccessful" french knots than plain ones. It was very hard to make them wrong so unfortunately there aren´t that many. I will find out a better way to do that I hope, they made lovely faked curls!
And thank *you* for making this wonderful swap, if you make more swaps with "useful" dotees I would love to participate!
Response: Thanks for your very nice comment! If you fancy to swap more pincushions I might persuade you to join out absolutely insane serie of animal pincushions :)))))
Response: Ooops, saw that I forgot to response and say THANK YOU for always having so much fun swapping with you :)))))
Response: Thank you, it was great fun to make!
Response: Thank you Denise, I am so curious to see yours :)
Response: I thought I´d try lots of different things without a plan and thank you for liking the result :)
Response: That fabric was a huge, round tablecloth once upon a time and has since become small purses and now a pincushion. Thank you :)
Response: Thanks, hope he likes it :)
Response: Thank you Mary and tell your daughter that I can make one for her too when we swap again :)
Response: Thank *you* for your very kind words! Your new pincushions are ready to be shipped out LOL
Response: Happy you liked them :)
Response: :))))) I have read this out loud to my family who still insist it was a rabbit. Thank you!
Response: Thank you for arranging this swap! I took the liberty of taking the pattern with me on our holiday and it is now used in a sewing group in the Swedish Church, Gran Canaria. They really liked it! Also, thanks for your nice comments :)
Response: Thanks for the rating and for easing my swappingparanoia ;)
Response: Thanks for your very nice comment, I will try my best to write down a pattern for you :)
Response: Happy you liked them, I´m looking forward to see what my international partners send too :)
Response: Thanks again :) hope to have you as a partner in future swaps, it is so fun to make things for people who really enjoys small handicrafts :)
Response: Thank you very much for your nice comments :)
Response: These pincushionswaps are really fun to make, glad you liked it :)
Response: Thanks Denise, you are much welcomed to more of my swaps :)
Response: Very happy you liked it and since I sent the other parcel the same day I think I´ll see you here again very soon :)
Response: Thanks for your comment :)
Response: Happy you liked it :)
Response: Thank you, I was escecially happy when I found the Japanese fabric. It is fun to go hunting for something special. I have later found a rather old tablecloth (cross-stitched) with Asian motifs from the same thriftstore so if you feel like making a private swap sometime it´s yours :)
Response: It was a very fun swap and I´m looking forward to joining more of those great swaps you make :)
Response: Thanks and hope you have fun with it :)
Response: I´m happy you liked it :)
Response: You´re welcome :)
Response: I am very glad you liked it and I´m sooooo looking forward to yours!
Response: Thanks, glad you liked them :)
Response: That was an early arrive, good! Thanks for your nice comments and I am eager to see your purse too :)
Response: Thanks, and it´s so fun to be able to send something for your husband too. I´m sure we´ll swap again and if he wants to you can maybe send a little list of the stamppainters (don´t know the word in English, sorry) he likes best and I can look out for new stamps that they have made? Just let me know :)
Response: Very glad you liked them and that they arrived so quickly :)
Response: You´re welcome, I hope it will of use during the autumn :)
Response: Thanks and again, you have a really, really interesting and inspiring blog!
Response: I´m very glad you liked them thanks, when I think retro and vintage I think what we had here in Sweden and after I started swapping I realized that´s very seldom the same as it looked like the rest of the world :))))
Response: You´re welcome, I thought it was a funny idea and a way to make use of all the old knitted (and rather unpractical) pot-holders I have. Maybe it could be something for a group swap :)?
Response: Ann, I´m very happy that you liked your little parcel. I collect odd fabrics and if you like to I can look out for more fabrics that could be suitable for your dad. I thought a sensory quilt was a really, really wonderful idea. Please pm me if you have any special wishes.
Response: I´m glad you liked it, it is always fun to be your swappartner because I feel like you are the right person to appreciate handmade things. Until next time :)
Response: Oh good, they were not your TexMexfavourites but I hope you´ll enjoy them anyway :)
Response: Thanks,let me know when you do so I know what you thought of them :)
Response: I´m happy you liked them, I did all the recipecards before the partners were assigned but it would have felt a bit silly to send recipes for something that your family couldn´t eat (pie and bread LOL) so this was a fun challange! With a lot of allergies I can recommend looking for Hare Krishna recipes, they tend to pick other kind of flour, never uses eggs and have a lot of stuff without diary too. A lot of hard-to-find spices but once you have them they last a long time.
Response: Isn´t he a darling (when he wants to LOL). I write this on my brother´s computor since we´re off holiday but as soon as I come home again I´ll rate yours too :)
Response: I did write a comment here but it seems to have disappeared so I thank you again, I tooka picture of themand put it on flikr too, so that I can remember what I´ve sewn :)
Response: Thanks, I also liked them so I took a photo for future pincushions :)))))
Response: You´re welcome and let me know if the first one ever shows up, a parcel both me and my partner thought was lost arrived to her months later, you might get lucky too ;) I think I´ll do another recycled swap in the fall, welcome back then!
Response: Thank you, it was fun to put the fabrics together :)
Response: Then I say welcome to the wonderful world of charmswaps :) I´ve had some relly, really nice swaps too and in July I´m going to a quiltclass called "Dotted bags made from charms" so I´ll be able to use all the nice charms too :)
Response: Yippi! I was starting to mistrust the whole postal system.Lesson learned, never ever send anything stuffed to Australia and always use very plain parcels *s* I´m releived you got it in the end and please let me know if the first package ever arrive :)
Response: Happy you liked them :)
Response: I must admit that the idea with the insoles is an idea I´ve knicked from my mom. We had a lot of wool sweaters when I grew up and when they were too small or got holes she washed them hard and cut out soles. I thought that was such a good idea so I keep doing that for my child now :)
Response: Happy you liked it and the phone thing is, as I wrote, my latest addiction. It doesn´t aquire so much yarn so it´s perfect for those small yarns that are left in a ball :)
Response: You´re welcome and I hope they will look nice and bright on your rainbow quilt :)
Response: Great, I thought your husband would fancy those :) I have a doublett of the (when they came) very controversial ICA-advertisment on footballplayers too but those I want to keep LOL
I´ll check my collection and see what I can live without. Glad you liked your stuff too :)
Response: I absolutely agree, it´s so much fun with the friendship quilts and round robins, when other people contribute to your project it can almost end up like anything :) Looking forward to having you as an partner in one of the future friendship quilt swaps!
Response: Very glad that you liked it and if you develope a sweet tooth just pm me and I´ll send over a bunch of recipes :)
Response: It was *so* fun it was you beause I had some of those small glass hearts left :) Glad you liked the needlebook too of course LOL
Response: Glad you liked them and I forgot to write that it was especially fun to send something to Italy since my sister-in-law is Italian and I´m trying my best to make her interested in swaps :)
Response: Thank you and I hope the boys will have fun with it :)
Response: That was nice to hear, thanks!
Response: Well, I saw a friend in the fleamarketbusiness in you, I loooove going to fleamarkets and there´s so much fun finding old things there! The buttons are actually from the same place and it´s my favourite market around here.
Response: Thank you, I think I had as much fun making the envelopes as receiving them :)
Response: I´m glad you liked the stuff, these swaps are soooo fun to make!
Response: About the lavender, immediately after sending your socks I realized I had no idea if lavender was ok to send to other countries. I learned that seeds an be stopped so now I was mad about myself for sending this and thought those socks would get stucked in customs LOL
Glad they made their way to you, looking forward to the next winterwearswap!
Response: I´m happy you liked them, charms are an excellent start for áll sorts of fun sewing projects :)
Response: Glad you liked them, I also fancy the tiny ones, I had a bunch of small envelopes made of cotton (!) and these are the same model.
Response: Thanks, hope we´ll swap again, this was the first time ever I sent a letter to Malaysia :)
Response: Thank you for making this swap, hope you´ll make another one :)
Response: Absolutely, your fabrics are soooooo lovely! I collect a lot of older fabrics and I´m sure there are some I don´t really need. Let´s keep in touch!
Response: I´m so glad you liked it, since this was my first "fill an envie swap" I wasn´t sure what people would expect :)
Response: I´m sooo glad this one arrived, please let me know if the first one ever turns up ;)
Response: If the tutorial is too whimsy at times you can always contact me for an explanation ;). I wrote it just the days before leaving for holiday and I do hope it made sense LOL
Hope you had a nice holiday too!
Response: I´m glad you liked them and sometimes it´s so funny that small scraps of fabric just make perfect, I´ve saved the patriotic fabrics for years not knowing what to make of them and then you came - lucky me :)
Response: I´m so happy you liked it! I got to say that the invisible thread is best when sewing by hand, by mashine it just gets messy!
Response: Well, aren´t I the one to rather thank you :) I am very grateful for you letting me know that I had missed vital information in the swapdescription instead of giving me a poor rating.
And yes, all the stuff (except the buttons) are homemade. I´m soon out of handdyed yarn so I think this summer will be full of new projects on that front :)
Thanks for your patience and hope we´ll swap again!
Response: Thank you for your kind comments, the lady in my yarnshop and I had great fun searching for suitable patterns for the woolyarn, please let me know how it turns out later on, I think she´s even more curious than I am :))
Response: Thank you, it was so fun mixing all the colours for the yarn so we´ll do it again this summer :)
Response: Glad you liked them, they were fun to make! If you´d like to knit a pair of your own just google "Lovikka" and there will be lots and lots of funny patterns!
Response: Glad you liked them!
Response: Thank you for putting up with a newbie when it comes to knitting dishcloths :)
Response: Aren´t the hearts great, I keep on buying lots and lots of them :) Glad you also liked it!
Response: Oh, I should have added more of them, I do have several left. Let´s hope we´ll swap again and that I remember that :)
Thank you!
Response: Thank you and hope you´ll fins something nice to do with the wool :)
Response: Glad you liked them :)
Response: Glad you liked them, they are so fun to make!
Response: I saw something similar on a craftsmarket some years ago and thought I might try to make one my own. It´s not that hard, just pick a zipper, open it and make a circle (so you know how big a circle to cut. Cut two pieces fabric and put thick vliseline in the middle. I cut out fabric to sew around it (just take twice as much as needed and fold in half) and sew on the zipper by hand. The funny thing on the zipper you can make from two buttons sewn together, just cut out circles a few centimetres bigger than the button. The only tricky thing is that it doesn´t turn out nicely when sewn on a machine, otherwise I would try them for a market myself ;).
Glad you liked it and please feel free to take after the idea - I did :)
Response: Thanks, I might just do that :)
Response: You´re so welcome!
Response: Thank you for putting up with getting a cloth from a newbie, I´ll try more advanced patterns later but right now it´s a beginner´s paradise :)
Response: Glad you liked it, hope they can become some nice things!
Response: Thank you and if you like batiks I got to share my favourite fabricshop with you, fabricshack.com, they have tons of batiks
Response: And a special thanks to you from me and my local postoffice, both of us know more about geography now :)
Response: Oh good, as I wrote to Anna I was not at all sure about how to make it nicest possible so I´m very happy you liked them :)
Response: Thank you, of all the swaps I got to say that I was superstressad about sending out this one because I had nooooo idea how to make it really special for my swap-partners :). PP looks complicated but it really is quite easy. I´ll try to write a simpel tutorial but I think I got to get some help with pictures so beware, it might be rather whimsy LOL.
Response: Thank you, I´ve plenty of stamps that I don´t use so for my own sake I hope I get you as my swappartner again :)
Response: Thanks, it´s always a bit tricky when sending a mail to another country, sometimes it takes just a few days and sometimes ten - god only knows how the Swedish postoffices work ;)
Response: In respond I would like to thank you for the very nice mail you sent, it is so fun to make people happy :)
Response: Thank you Barbara, I´m sure we´ll meet again in another buttonswap and I´ll keep my eyes out for more funny buttons :)
Response: Hope you´ll enjoy them :)
Response: You are welcome :)
Response: You´re welcome and thank you for your kind response!
Response: Thank you for your kind resonse, happy you liked it!
Response: Thanks, and a special thanks about the recommendations about envelopes!
Response: Thank you, hope you'll enjoy them :)!
