I should have posted this last week–haven’t been on the computer much.<\/p>\n

I don’t join a lot of swaps. In fact, it’s usually one per year. This year, I was invited to a private swap by a friend, and I couldn’t resist.<\/p>\n

Thing is, when I’m in a swap, I get focused on making the thing I’m going to send, and I often forget that I will also receive<\/em> something. So when my loot comes, it’s a lovely surprise. \u00a0This one was especially wonderful:<\/p>\n

\"loot\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, it was a “secret pal” type swap, but my partner was easy to find–Mari Mortem<\/a> made many wonderful things. And if you go over there right now, the first couple posts are about her process.<\/p>\n

\"purse\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’d been planning to make a spooky purse–something small and cross-body. I never mentioned it anywhere, I swear! And yet, Mari sent this wonderful thing. It’s perfect, and I’ve started using it already. Also pictured is a lovely pair of leather bat wings. They are meant for boots, but I don’t have any (yet–I’ve been looking!). They are, however, the perfect size for a beardie costume, so I’ll be figuring out a mostly-non-annoying attachment so I can put them on the girls for Halloween pictures.<\/p>\n

\"punkin<\/a><\/p>\n

She also made a tiny pumpkin phone charm from polyclay. He’s delightfully spooky.<\/p>\n

\"watercolor\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The last of the handmade items: a really darling watercolor. I love<\/em> the kitty–I can’t photograph it well enough so you can tell how nice it is in person.<\/p>\n

There was also all sorts of other doo-dads–a bandanna, stickers, a cool box, a card, and more! What a joy it was to open. Thank you so much, Mari!<\/p>\n
