I have been reading about these swaps on others' blogs and really wanted to do one. After learning about Bits of Goodness, I just had to jump on in. I really didn't have enough projects on my plate, now did I ;-) But, who could resist. For those not familiar with swaps, this particular group holds participants to using only natural materials in their crafting/handwork endeavors. Each swap has a theme and within those guidelines you let your imagination and handwork skills take over and then multiply that times 5 or 10 or however many items are requested. Oh, and one extra for the host/hostess of the swap. Then, by the deadline, mail your little creations to the hostess. She receives all the items for each participants and then mails off a magical package filled with handmade goodies from all over the world. In this particular swap, the theme is "Winter Nature Table". Boo Boo and I made little tiny needle felted holly babies snug in their little walnut cradles. We placed the other half of the walnut on top and tied them up with a pretty bow of matching wool yarn. We made 5 and one for the hostess. We are both very excited and waiting anxiously to see what arrives at our house in a few weeks. We'll keep you posted.
