Thanks for all the well wishes from my last post. Still no changes in my health, so am just hanging in there. I got home late Wednesday after an unexpected stay over in Atlanta due to bad weather and cancelled flights. It was straight to the doctor to find out what I have is bronchitis. It's either wait it out or take steroids. I'm just going to try and let it run it's course. Thought I'd give this recipe for good health a try. If anyone knows of any others I'd love to hear about them.
In swapping news, even though I'm months behind in my paperbag swag round robin, I dared to sign up for Amy's annual Haunted ATC Swap. I played around with several witch designs, but they never quite looked right when I pieced them out in felt. So, in a bit of a deadline panic I went for a similar design I created out of paper last year for a postcard swap. Guess I'm still quite stuck creatively.
They were a little trickier to work out of felt, but so much fun to embellish. I do realize this is more "Day of the Dead" than Halloween, but I'm sticking with it.
I also couldn't resist Michelle's embroidered button swap. That was something new for me and so much fun. Here's a bad photo of the ones I made. (dark days make for tricky photo taking)
...and here are all the lovely ones that arrived in today's mail.
Mine are from Amy, Anina, Joy, Monica, Regina and one from the lovely swap hostess herself. Thank YOU Michelle! You can see more here. She may host another in the near future so if you're interested, be on the look out.
I'm off to make some soup. Happy weekend wishes!
