For my first purse, I definitely aimed high. Pleats are so difficult! Then again, maybe I didn't do it the proper, easier way. I originally made this for the rockabilly swap, but decided to keep it after all the grief it gave me. I'm glad I did, since I got flaked on. Now it's for sale in my etsy store.

for hookers only
Here is what I sent to my partner for the Hooker swap on craftster.org. I'm only posting the stuff I made. I also sent some yarn, a vintage pattern and a bag of cruchy cheetos (b/c they are available in the UK).
*For those of you who don't know, a hooker is someone who crochets. Get you minds out of the gutter people!
I decorated some crochet hooks. The first 3 were washi paper (japanese handmade paper) decoupaged, and the last 2 were sculpey wrapped with some embellishments added.
A beaded necklace with scissors attatched.
A couple sets of stitch markers
And my very first crochet hook roll! I was sad to give it away b/c I'm such a sentiMental pack rat, but my partner loved it so it's ok.

Yes, it's a uterus.
I've officially been flaked on, and it sucks! I sent an awesome package all the way to Leeds for the Rockabilly Swap on craftster.org, and I got zip from my partner. Anyway, (arrgh!) I also included a little extra surprise that I wished I had kept. My partner is trying to have a baby and wants to make a fertility shrine, so I made her a womb from knitty.com. It really gave me a hard time since I used ribbon yarn that wasn't so forgiving. My fingers were cramped for days! He turned out pretty cute though. I called it my "Happy Uterus."
here are some pics of the other stuff I sent:
group shot
embroidered hankies
headbands and cherry choker
