Things I’ve made lately. As in, the past week…

…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):
