Cupcake Themed Swap - June 2008
I recently participated in a cupcake themed swap on Craftster.org. I was partnered up with jadegreen of Australia, and we had a great time crafting for each other!
Here's the goodies she made for me, starting with the little guys first!
There's a great little hand-drawn card, a hand embroidered felt pouch, and mini cupcake pin cushions made of recycled soda bottle tops!
One of the pin cushions is a stand up cushion, and the other is a ring cushion. Jade also sent me a set of sweets-topped shrinky dink pins with my lovely cushions. I keep these in my travel craft bag!
Next up is an awesome awesome awesome cross stitch! Need I say more? It speaks for itself.
My favorite: Super awesome reversible apron with the cutest cupcake fabric! I can't tell you how much I love this thing. It's funny too, because I make aprons myself, but do I ever wear any of the ones I make? No, of course not! But I do get a lot of use out of this little guy, especially with my cookie making extravaganza earlier this week.
Goofy-grinned action shot: making mini muffins!
And here's what I sent to jadegreen!
This is a kitchen textiles set. The towels were embellished with the fun fabrics the rest of the goodies were made with, and the pot holders were a last-minute addition since I had the perfect amount of fabric left!
Here's Jade modeling the pot holders (she didn't have any, yay me!) and the matching reversible underbust apron. Don't you love them? The reverse side of the apron are the same fabrics, but reversed in placement.
Jade has a cupcake blog, so I sent her some purchased cupcake supplies as well. There's assorted sprinkles in different colors and shapes, some lavender colored sugar crystals that are big and very refractive, a magnetic refrigerator shopping list, and some cute sweets-themed decorations.
I also picked up some great decorative cupcake liners. Aren't these styles cute?
I also sent her a set of two matching fabric shopping bags. Here's Jade modeling one of the bags.
A close-up of the bag bottom so you can see the shape and the adorable fabric! Yes, those are BUNNIES and CUPCAKES!! Can life get any more cute?
I had an incredible time with this swap, it's going to be a hard one to top!!
Thanks so much JadeGreen, you did a fantastic job!
