Prospective MiniVan

I test drove this van twice and love it! It is smooth and handles like a car. It doesn't have a whole lot of leg room in the back seat or sotrage room in the cargo area.
The color is a soft silvery green.
Husband is still holding out for an Astro van.

My swap from FunToScrap

I sent this package to Denmark for the Fat Quarter Swap.
I chose the fabric because many of the bags she makes have a nautical look to them., I also liked the various nations on the flags. The red furry trim is so soft and I thought it might make a great addition to one of her purses.

This was a very fun package I received in the Round Robin talent swap. We each made 2 somethings, one to send to our partner and then we sent another to the person that sent to us.
YaYa has been carrying them around for days.

Knitting Sheep Schwap

Norah was so excited when I opened this box.
She gasped with excitement. So which is cuter? This adorable toddler?

Or this wonderful package of yarn and sheep?

Norah claimed the lambs and sheep and rocked them all like babies.

And not only did I get a great package, but I got a nice note too.

I just love it when swaps turn out this wonderful! :-)

Jar of Whimsy for April

Somewhere on this blog I posted about the jar of whimsy I received. I think I was the first one in the swap to get one. I love my jar and use it to hole my candy that I get from swaps.
I had a hard time making the pincushion on the top for mine. I tried a few methods and looked online for ideas, but I just didn't get a nice poof on the top. Maybe I used the wrong batting. My partner loves the colors of autumn so I picked things with that in mind. I gave her the lamb and some yarn because she is a knitter.
