…This is…besides the stuff I’ve already posted.  See, you guys have me all wrong…haha…the following has nothing to do with me or…me.  Haha.

The dress I made for Lorelei:  Mom came over this past weekend and helped me finish it up.  I get really lazy when it comes to pressing and ripping out seams..so she did that part.  And, very patiently, I might add!

And, then… A swap package I did (our theme was “Back to Nature” - basically, inspired by nature).  I finished this up early last week, but was waiting until she received it and posted pictures before I did - so as to not be a spoiler!

Here’s the package all-together…

And, what was in it:

A beaded dragonfly.  Because she likes dragonflies…and blues and greens. (And, I made the outside of the box, too).

2 Dragonfly Notecards and a set of 4 beaded magnets.   The magnets sort of remind me of seaglass.  And, I used water bottle tops, so see, I was recycling too!

3 Ribbons Roses.  They have wire in them, so she can arrange them wherever or attach them to things.  She likes roses.

A mobile.  The top is made with a “recycled” water bottle.  I trimmed it up in a wave pattern, and used a hot glue gun to round the edges out, so she wouldn’t cut herself.  And then, I painted it.  Hanging from the top piece are origami turtles in blues and greens.  She likes turtles, also.

The owl can.  I made these little guys and covered this Baby Formula can - Lorelei’s last formula can ever.  Sniff sniff.  I put her mobile in this can for safe travel.  And, I really have no clue if she likes owls…so I made them blue and green…did I mention she likes blue and green alot?  lol

A small painting of a dragonfly with acrylics (on canvas).

A wall hanging with 4 mini clothespins at the top for notes and small pictures to be displayed - and, two hooks at the bottom to hold bracelets, necklaces, keys, or whatever.

Then, this picture and the next one in a 4×6 clear, plastic frame with a magnet on the back - because I figured she could switch them out if she wanted…

And, here’s the swap all-together (minus the origami mobile):

MOVING ON, we have Grumpy, a toy I made for a 3 year old named Sam:  And, yes.  I know Grumpy is ugly.  He’s supposed to be.

Lastly, a card I made (4×4):
