The blues, with some brown
The title is a fake, I don't have the blues at all, except colorwise. Here are the handmade items for this month's Brown and Blue Coloriffic Swap-o-rama. Brown and baby blue have been one of my favorite color combinations since I was a young teenager, when I had my first big hulking crush on a boy with brown hair and - you guessed it - baby blue eyes. It's still a combination that can make me all a-twitter. Back to the picture...in addition to the fab Denyse Schmidt fabric, my swappee will receive a summer ensemble made from this sweet Knitty pattern for her Blythe doll; a stuffed bird made from a pattern in this highly recommended book; and a painted Altoid tin decorated with one of my own drawings. But wait, there's more! It can all be seen here. It was tough for me to give most of this stuff up - hope she likes it.
oh i have swap envy!! what a load of beautiful things!! love your altoid tin... mmm and of course the colors!!

I love blue and brown also, and the bird tin is my favorite as well. And do you mean J.J. Puhnaty...'cuz the last I saw him he was the manager at a mattress store in Springfield, VA (or maybe I dreamed that because Mike can't confirm it.)

I think it's all lovely Rose. I *love* the tin. Your illustration is so delicate. I love the bird too. Oh, and the dress. What a lucky swap recipient!

I'm sure she'll LOVE it all! I totally loved the fabrics you sent me for the fabric square swap. What a joy to open today and also your "business" card is COOL! Did you order them or just print them yourself?
