One Lump or Two?

I made this for a co-worker's niece back in April.  Not sure if I'll ever make another. #tedious

Set included: Teapot (Duh!), 4 cups, 4 saucers & 6 desserts.

July YPP Swaps!

I joined 3 swaps in July at YPP and had a great time.  I cut back from my ambitious 5 swaps I tackled in June.  I have to limit myself because I'm a procrastinator and postage adds up, lol.

Well, here are my creations.  (I think I'll come back and post some of the the items I've received back.  My swap partners are so talented.)

PopulArt Swap
This month we altered acrylic photo frames to be desk toppers.  They had to included a post-it type pad, a calendar, and a stamped image.  We also had to make 2 stick pins and 2 homemade flowers.  I liked how this turned out.

If you like these flowers there's a tutorial I did in a previous post.  These are the two I created in the video.

Well, that's it.  I had a great time and can't wait to do it again.  I'm not doing many swaps for August because I'm preparing for a craft fair in September, I'll post more details later, and building up inventory for my etsy shop.  wish me luck and thanks for stopping by.
