Dit keer hadden ze een theezakjes swap en aangezien ik

inmiddels weet dat mijn pakje aangekomen is

So I found it a big challenge to start designing and writing one...

But it is a lot of work I tell ya...

Here is a picture of how it turned out.

A warm neck and...

On the Amigurumi and Haak forum we went swapping with a bunch of girls.

The preparation for the swap were a lot of fun... what would your partner like

Which colours, can you use a theme and what would that be?

Searching the internet for goodies.

Walking around shops for other goodies and jammy sweets.

I loved every minute of it. Just doing something for someone else.

Thinking of them and trying to bring a smile at their face when they see and open up your package....

It´s been a while

2011-01-23T03:23:00.000-08:00

In spite of the fact that I haven´t shown much lately, doesn´t mean I haven´t made anything...
Here are some of the things that happened in creation time....

A cute little doggie

a sweet little hippo

a sheherazade donut

a lovely bearladybug

nice bellies

A Sabine Lippert design

Further I am very busy with the swap at swapbot

I have to deal with my youngest son who is quite a handful

He is a sweet but very busy boy and in his world anything and everything

is possible. But to the extend of putting himself in dangerous situations.

So time to start going to mr. Doc and examine ...

so busy busy busy

Oh I would like to tell you that soon Id like to create a give-away

of my own. I've seen it so much in blogland lately and its a nice way

of thanking the ones who take the time to visit your blog...
