Exchange Arrived

I am so excited about what I found in the mail today.  A package all the way from Rotorua New Zealand.  It contained my exchange package from my Tiny Treasures Exchange partner Laurie J Breadmore of http://www.breadmoretravels.blogspot.com/.  It is just gorgeous :)
It was presented in a beautiful purple package.  And when I opened my package I just couldn't believe my eyes.  It contained the most beautiful pinkeep.

Thank you so much Laurie, I just love it :)
Happy Stitching

Pinkeep and Pumpkin Theme Exchange

I'm matching up your partners for these exchanges, and I'll be sending an email with all the info to the participants by Saturday, 28 Aug.


I can't wait to see all of your beautiful creations!

I'm disapointed

Ronel,

I'm reading on the list that you received the exchange but actually I don't know for sure if this is true since I don't see a post saying it or received an email confirming that. I sent three times and stitched twice this exchange and up today I don't have any confirmation of the reception of any of the envelopes.

I'm sorry if this sounds rude but the fact of not receiving a simple "I got it" note is discouraging .

I hope that you have it in your hands. Please let me know

Aury

Yes, It Is Two for the Price of One!

We have two exchanges going on at the same time, you may join either or both.

To join the Pumpkin Theme Exchange, click the pumpkin to your left, and leave a comment on that post. 

To join the Pinkeep Exchange, click the pinkeep to your right and leave a comment on that post.

If we've put you in the wrong column - leave us a comment here and we'll fix it!

Pumpkin Theme Exchange Sign Up (additional exchange)

Yes we will be running 2 exchange signups at the same time!  Sign-ups are open now, and will be closed 22 August 2010.  For this exchange only: post a comment here if you want to participate.  Yes you can join both if you like, as long as you can meet your obligations in both.  

You choose the type of finish, we only ask that your stitched piece include a pumpkin in the design.  All the standard rules apply, no aida, your item must be finished, and extras are not necessary.  Let your stitched piece be the treat that your partner gets, tricks will only bring you trouble.  When you leave your comment, please state whether you are ok with a Halloween themed pumpkin design, a fall design, or either.  Some people do not celebrate this holiday and would prefer a fall/ Autumn design.  This way when partners are assigned everyone will be happy and have fun.

The mailing date is October 15th.  If you are making something with a Halloween theme you should try to mail a little earlier so your partner gets the item in time for Halloween.  Your pumpkin theme item need not be a pin keep but it could be.  Make sure you send something that you would enjoy having someone send to you. 

Pinkeep Exchange - Sign Up Now

Hi Everyone.  My deepest apologies for falling out touch so abruptly - my personal life got very ... distracting.

The next exchange is for a Pinkeep - I haven't made one of these, so I don't have a picture to share.  You can see some gorgeous ones here or there.

Sign-ups are open now, and will be closed 22 August 2010.  For this exchange only: post a comment here if you want to participate. (When I just checked my email, I have over 1000 unread messages - I don't want you to get lost as I deal with that!).

Final mail-out date will be 1 October 2010.

Remember - for the Pinkeep Exchange Only - Comment on this post if you would like to participate.  Please do not email me.

I will not be participating in this exchange - I'm going to be working to get the send and receive lists up to date, and trying to make sure that all items from the past two exchanges were received.
PS - we'll try to do a mail art exchange after the first of the year - OK?

Hmmm

I didn´t hear back from Amanda and I am away from home until the end of August...we are travelling to Austria for two weeks...yeah

Nita could you change the blog background if you have some free time??? There is a photobucket button in the middle which tells something about a deleted background....

CU in September;-))

Thanks,
Mare

Any news about the pincushion yet? This is the third delivery and the second pincushion that I made, I was trying to track the package on your country but I can't find where you can do it

I hope that you have it in your hands. Please let me know

Aury

Amanda...

...Haven´t you received my second pincushion yet??? I am getting nervous...

Gaby

Hi Ladies,

Regards Ronel.

Altoid Tin Exchange, attn Amanda

Amanda and I were the only ones with outstanding issues on this exchange.  I received my lovely tin so I am set Amanda  did you get your exchange tin?  Please let us know.  Thanks Mare

Scissor Pocket or Case Exchange Attn Iza and Gillie

Hi Ladies,

Since I am interested in starting up a new exchange here I thought I'd lend a hand to make sure the exchanges outstanding are all wrapped up.  I hope you all don't mind?

Can you share with us if Iza /5horizons or Gillie received her scissor case / keeper?  Thanks, Mare

5horizons - sent 26 Jan
Gillie - sent 5 Feb

All is quiet and hot hot hot here, Any ideas on the next exchange?

Hi there ladies,

Anyone interested in doing something for fall?  How about doing a pumpkin themed exchange? You can pick the kind of finish you like doing but the design needs to have at least one pumpkin.  I have come to realize I like stitching designs with pumpkins.  And I have a bunch of fall designs with pumpkins, hint.  But maybe something with apples or leaves?  Maybe we could do a poll to see which theme most people are interested in exchanging.   Just throwing some ideas out there.    Also since I have my hot hands on the new JS magazine I have ornaments exchanges in mind too.

It might be nice if those you had things outstanding on the previous exchange post an update to making it easier to wrap things up with it.

Just my 2 cents...
Mare

hi

Hi ladies,I haven't got mine yet too but I know my partner is re-making it so I wait patiently.Only 3 of us are still waiting for it?

Sooo sorry, it´s the very first time one of my exchanges won´t reach...

Gaby

I have my new lovely pincusion!

Yesterday I received a perfect gift from Fiona all the way from Australia. She's made a beautiful blackwork pincushion, which I totally adore! She also included goodies: a cute tape measure and an eco-bag. Let's not forget the postcards (the one with kangaroos is sooo precious) and a lovely letter. I'm really glad this exchange had a happy ending for me. Thank you sooo much Fiona!

Has Anyone Received This Yet??

Today I am wondering whether anyone has received this yet? I sent it a month ago almost to the other side of the world so I am beginning to get a little worried that it hasn't arrived yet! If you have received it, can you let me know please? If not, I will start to stitch another by next week. Thankyou.

Look what the mail brings me today!!

Anita sent me this from The Netherlands


I LOOOOOVE IT!!!!

This is her second time, the first unfortunately got lost on the mail. I'm so glad that this arrived safe and sound!!

Lovely Pincushion

My pincushion finally arrived and surprised me as it came from my own country.
Thank you Nicole for a lovely summer message. It is so lovely, the stitches so perfect and tiny (36ct). The background fabric is the same fabric she used for the back, which she also forwarded. What a lovely keepsake. thank you again.
Vivian
ps: the summer has certainly arrived today, sunny 25C - gotta love that by the lake... :)

Here's a picture of the pincushion I made for Nicole. she asked to post one, since she had troubles with her camera. it was fun to make.

hugs from Liz

hi everyone,really fantastic works,compliments to all the stitchers!
Just a few words since this time my little thing has not so many km to do but afternearly 3 weeks it is not arrived yet...
wonderful day to everyone

Exchange received from Liz!

Just a quick note to say I received the sweetest pincushion from Liz...  Unfortunately my computer is down at home (yes, again!), so I'm unable to post a picture right now.  Liz stitched one of the Stitching Devils from Ellen Maurer-Stroh (over one!) and finished the pincushion as a sunflower.  Just wait until you see a picture! 

Liz ~ you didn't leave me your email address...  but thank you, thank you, thank you!!  I absolutely love the way you finished the pincushion, it is so sweet!  Your stitching and finishing are gorgeous :)  Would you be able to post a picture if you took one??  Thanks again!

Nicole

Exhange partner??

Just a quick note to let you all know I haven't been at home so haven't been able to pick up my mail in about 2 weeks time. Summers here in Mn FINALLY and we spend nearly half of it at our camper in central Mn. I'll be back at home by Sunday of this week and will get my last 2 weeks mail on Monday. If I was your exchange partner don't panic yet! :) I'll let you know when I receive.

Also updated my blog yesterday if anyone cares to have a look?

It has arrived

Thank you so much Vivian

What a neat pincushion, I love it also the fob what a cleaver idea to put it on a clip chain.

I am going to enjoy the maple syrup treats.

I have been to Canada a few times and would love to visit Nova Scotia again

Thank you so much I will treasure it.

Pin Cushion received!

Thank you to Lynn S. for the beautiful little pin "pillow"! The dragon fly charm and fabric is so sweet, and I love the colors!  She included the chart for the pattern, so now my head is spinning with the accessories I can make!  She also included a fat quarter of green swirly fabric, which I promptly added to my stash, and forgot to photograph! LOL

Thanks so much Lynn for a great exchange!

Nicole

pincushion on its way

I mailed my pincushion to ???? at noon.
Hope it will arrive to its new house soon

Props to Nita!

For being patient for my slackness. I can't find anywhere on blog where I posted pics of the beautiful needlebook that Nita made for me. I never received my original partner's project and Nita was kind enough to stitch this up for me. It sits beside me in my home office. If for some reason I did post it somewhere on blog, it is worth seeing again! Thanks sweet, sweet Nita.

Girls, please read, important!

Do not, repeat do NOT click on the comment under my entry of May 29th, it's a porn link!  I have sent an email to Nita but if you read this first, can you please delete!

Pin Cushion Mailed

My pin cushion is off on it's big journey to its new home.

Gillie's pincushion will be leaving the post office in Oshtemo, Michigan today!

My pincushion is wending its way this morning, here's hoping no volcano, fire, flood or any other disaster holds it up!

Pin Cushion on it's way

I finally put the finishing touches to my pin cushion and sent it on it's way today.
Hopefully it will arrive safely and can't wait to see all the creations posted.

Amanda's Tin Topper

I wanted to post a pic of the Altoid Tin that I stitched for Amanda.

It was a fun easy stitch and wasn't hard to finish at all.
I made the twisted cord to match and selected the black fabric to accent the tiny bit of black  in the design. I couldn't find the scissors I wanted to use but I think the gold ones are okay.

I attached a magnet strip for needles and sent a South Carolina refrigerator magnet. I am really happy that it made it's journey safely although it took almost 3 weeks. Talk about stress lol.
