Okay gals....SIGN UP FOR June SWAP HERE!!!!

June = is the beginning of Summer:
Trivia or fact: There's no better crocheting or knitting than crocheting or knitting in natural light. No other season gives us as many natural light hours in a day as summer. Summer's take-along projects can turn into winter's completed holiday gifts


You will send your partner:

1. A pattern for 1 cotton design [cool and fun] Tote Bag for your yarn, or bag, or any item themed after your novel, EX: Gone with the Wind, Harry Potter, Marilyn Monroe, the Devil Wears Prada, think of all the possibilities of a great "summer" read. [ your project will have the colors or style relating to what the book is about]
2. Enough Yarn to complete the project
3. All the notions required
4. The novel to go with your themed project,
5. Something to put in your bag, or go with your project chosen, Ex: folding scissors, measuring tape, hooks or needles, stitch markers, or if something else maybe a vintage style pin with a hat project, or a magnet or key chain or even a DVD, anything themed after your novel. Ohhh what fun!

~ My June Tote Swap ~

Here are my goodies for the June Tote Swap ~ Thx Barb

This is the tote she had in mine first, but she's sent me several links to some other great bags. I'll keep you posted on which one I'll make and load pics too.

Thx again Barb.

My June Tote Swap Package ;D

Hi all,

this is a quick post to let you all know that I received my package from Barb. She sent it in 2 parts and the mailman didn't have to be stalked for he delivered the 2nd part today while I was out. I will be out for the remainder of the week but will do my best to take a pic of this package and post both parts for you to see. I've started on one of the bag suggestions but am not quite sure I like it but will let you know my progress when I post next. I want this to make it for the drawing so I'll try to do this tomorrow.

Have a great week ~ and thx a lot Barb, I love my package. ;D

My Tote is Made

Well I made my tote kit up last night while listening to the neighborhood going wild with the fireworks..lol

Isn't this cute, its a cute little bag :) I have yet to do the lining, but that will happen after I get my sewing machine dug out..The room its in is quite a diaster at the moment...but here is my finished bag from the June Tote Kit Swap..

Wow, Thank you Debb for all the pretties!! Thank you , Thank you!!!

I took a chance and got mail before we left for bowling and had enough time to send a quick Thank you to Debb (she was my partner), then after bowling took my pic's and now posting..

I love the purple cow body sponge, sorry he will sit in my purple kitchen, just the right color :) and oh so cute!! ...on my gosh, so much in here I don't want to miss anything, so you can see from the pic all my goodies...I had to put the peppermint crunches back in the frig..stuff melts coming here in the summer time unfortunately, but they'll be fine and can't wait to try em...I just love everything, love that lime green and can't wait to do the bag pattern, and those buttons are the cutest...the handheld fan will find its way in my bowling bag :) Thank you Debb! (we were stuck without a ceiling fan working over our heads last night bowling) so the fan will come in handy for sure.

Nikki, I will have your swap sent out definitely by Monday..I need to get an item or two and then It'll be ready to mail..so depending on store line may be mailed out tomorrow.

Thanks Debb for having all these Swaps, they've been fun and interesting to put together, plus making new friends!
