Crafting: Part One

There's been a lot of crafting between finals and work around here.  Here's a brief breakdown:

Swaps:
Martinmas (which seems like ages ago) Hats

Note: I am still waiting to get my Martinmas package, there was an issue with shipping from Canada, but I expect it any day. 


 
The next swap I did was the one-on-one Winter where I made the Tomten and trees.
 
Then there was another one-on-one Autumn swap where I made some fall themed wood goodies, but I forgot to take a picture.  I am also still waiting on to find out what that mama made for me.
 
Facebook Waldorf Swap - theme Winter Nature Table Swap:
 
 
 
 
 
 I made wooden owls with little tiny owl books and placed them in these little bags. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Here are the amazing things I got back from this swap

A wooden snowflake candle holder, a bear in his den, a "icicle gnome" who I have renamed Jack Frost, and this lovely playsilk (the background).  There was a beautiful heart ornament, but my rotten dog ate it right away. 








 
Etsy Stocking Stuffer Swap:
 
I made bean bags - two to a set, ten sets.  It was a lot of sewing. 
 
 



I just got back my items and I'm sad to say that I will only be able to use a few of the 10 items I got back as actual stocking stuffers.  Some are just not a good fit for the ages of my kids and some aren't what I would think of as stocking stuffers.  So a little disappointed here.
