I guess it would depend on the homemade item. If she had to wait to receive your fabric before she started on it, then 2 weeks might not be enough time. If she was using fabric she already had, you could drop her an "I'm so excited I can't hardly stand it" PM and let her know you are indeed excited about waiting for her item. You could also mention you can't wait to show it off and wondered if you would be able to show it to "so and so on such and such" a date. That way you wouldn't be giving her a deadline but she hopefully will let you know if that date is a good date.
IMHO :)
I've been extremely lucky with all my trades...yours included :-D
