I’ve been crafting my heart out for swaps at Crafster.org. I must admit that I’m am becoming quite addicted!
First off to show the items I made for the Big Bang Theory swap. The gallery is here if you want to check it out and see all the other awesomeness that was created. I love this tv show and Sheldon has got to be my favorite character! If you are fan of the show then you have surely heard of the addition to Rock, Paper, Scissors….
yes I give you Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock .
This is a pretty large (19 x 26??) wall hanging that I embroidered. I love it and it was very hard to part with it.
Next, I made some smaller items like these coasters and tea glasses:
And then I made the bag of all bags… Yes.. A SHELDON bag 
The next Swap I’m participating in is the Pin Cushion Swap (Round 11). It’s gallery is here if you want to check it out. I had never made pin cushions before, and have found that they are quite addicting and fun! They are quick to make and pretty much instant gratification. Also a great way to use scrap material!
Here’s all the items that went into the package. While we only had to do the pin cushion, my partner and I agreed to “spoil” each other. The tea towel was fun to embroider – not one of my designs, but actually an Iron-On one from “Aunt Martha’s”. The card is one of the first cards I made and discussed in a previous blog entry.
This is a small bottle cap pin cushion. It’s made from a 2-liter bottle cap (hence the name), ribbon, stuffing and a scrap piece of fabric. Very little and very cute
Here’s the main pin cushion. It’s a tree with an owl peeping through. My partner is a Christian (like me 
) and right now has really been focusing on the 9 fruits of the Spirit. To celebrate this, I made 9 pin toppers (3 apples, 3 oranges, 3 lemons) each with a different Fruit of the Spirit on it. I really think that my partner will enjoy these gifts.
I’m in two more swaps as well – an “Embroider my Spring Apron” swap and a traveling Gnome swap. Both sound like fun and I’ll post updates when I can. I have also designed 3 St. Patrick’s day patterns and hope to get those out tomorrow so you can Irish it up on St. Patty’s day.
Keep Kraftin’

I love the little pincushions! And the towel – the colors in the embroidery and the stripes are perfect. Nice!
Your Big Bang Theory embroidery is amazing! I don’t watch that show but I LOVE the embroidery. I don’t know how you can give it away. Your pincushions are cute too!
Oh my goodness! I love the Big Bang Theory too! Sheldon is also my favorite. The show would be nothing without him:)
I was wondering if you have ever showed how to do different embroidery stitches or could recommend a book. I know how to do one stitch that my mom showed me. I haven’t had time to look through your whole site to see if you ever showed any. Thanks!
