This was a fun ATC to make. I sat down last night and put this together. Again -USING WHAT I HAD. I love the vintage image and the sarcastic humour of this one. The image is from a 1947 published spelling text book for eighth grade. Seems the males and females could not communicate then either.I have signed up for three more swap-bot swaps as well. The last time through, I had much better luck so I am trying again. We'll see.
I also completed this baby blanket this week. No "new" money investment on this either. I bought these hospital grade receiving blankets at a warehouse sale for $2.00 each months (years) ago. So when the latest round of aquaintance baby showers started, these are what I am going to do. Crocheted edge, applique emblem or embroidered detail in the corner. Quick and simple. These are a great size too 30 inches by 40 inches so they can be used as lightweight blankets for toddlers too. This heart appliques was made from material I received in a swap. Feels like and older (washed many times) soft sheet. I love sheets that get softer and silkier when washed, reminds me of the cotton nightgowns I slept in when I was little.
Finally, this little bird was singing in the mailbox yesterday. A huge thank you to Dawn (4:53) for this completely unexpected surprise. I sent her a goodie many months ago and this is a return surprise. She is beautiful (like her creator) and immediately went to the fridge door. Where she will live until the studio is complete. Thanks so much my cyber friend. I LOVE her.
Sorry to post quick and run. Seems I am a delivery driver today and I have to go. Windshield time calls.
Have a great weekend.

Ha! Love the ATC, that is too cute! Very cute baby gift too. I try to have baby gifts on hand too, seems there are always a new slew of pregnant ladies around here! I also love the bird you received. Sydney has been coloring birds like crazy! I'll have to post her creations soon. Thanks again for the great idea!
