***SPOILER ALERT****
If you are expecting a swap from me don't read any further!!!
So my friend Val over at Hot Mama Apron Swap is hosting another great swap. Chicken themed swap...how could I not join. I have to say I am so proud of this apron. I hope my partner will like it. I think I chose the kind of print she would like. I also used a vintage apron pattern and even made peekos form 1 inch fabric. I even hand embroidered chickens and found a vintage glass chicken and turned it into a pin cushion for her. She also collects cupcakes so I made her one with the chicken theme.Here is some of her package I will be mailing out today.
I joined a Voodoo Doll Art Swap. It was a challenge for me as I have never made a Voodoo doll. We were given a basic pattern and then let loose with our own imagination. I used a vintage potato sack, paint, alcohol inks and seagull bones we found at the Great Salt Lake. When I package it I am going to lay it on a pile of peacock feathers.
I also made a Pagan Whimsy Jar for a swap. It is filled with objects from the earth. I even wood burned a tiny gourd for her.I really enjoyed this swap. It was my first experience making a Whimsy Jar.
Last but not least I have been doing alot of art for swaps. I am hooked on inchies even though I tend to work with dark themes.

great apron package!! I love your seed starts! Living in So Cal, I'm still picking peppers from last summer's plants. I'm waiting on my order from Burpees so I can get new stuff planted.
That is SO much snow! It is pretty! Oh I know that we could get snow again here, but I can hope we are done for this year!
Great start on your little plants! I imagine you have your plans on when and where you are going to plant them.
Where do you find the time to do all you do? That apron is adorable and you put such work into in with the needle work.
This is the first I have heard of a voodoo doll swap. We lived in Mississippi for a short while and were a short drive from New Orleans - a great place to find such dolls.
Glad you made it back home safely. Chocolate makes everything better.
you have been a busy little chickadee, haven't you. I hunted high and low for a little chicken to make a pincushion with, lucky you found one!!
And the voodoo doll, love it!!!
Good job being creative and a finisher!!
That is alot of snow! Stay off the icy roads with bad tires girl.
The chicks sound cute.
The apron is wonderful, the jar is amazing. I will have to try that someday. The voodoo doll is adorable and the inchies are so cute.
Sounds like you are having a ball !!
Hugs to a fellow Idahoian
I hope to get out there to Nampa for a visit this spring.
Look at all that snow! Pretty!
Oh, those little green shoots are poetry for the eyes.....
The Tim Holtz inchies are even better in real life! So glad I was the lucky recipient!
all your art is so lovely and that apron is AMAZING! You are one talented lady :-)
