Love your ornaments Rosemary, and the angels are really cute roseirish48.

paintmejudy 10-22-2013 06:01 PM

Thanks, Lynnie, I'm rather fond of them too. LOL
I started cutting my own pieces when Michaels started cutting way back on their stock of little wood pieces. They used to have a good selection, but then I started doing wholesale and wanted to have my own patterns. Things like hearts and stars I bought by the bag of 1,000 -- yuup I was up to my elbows in Christmas ornaments.

Both went west of me, actually NW one to ND and the other to OK..

grann of 6 10-23-2013 05:20 AM

Cute ornaments, everyone! I still haven't heard if one of my partners received her ornies from me. I guess she is either out of town, or didn't like them. I made so many different kinds I don't even remember which ones she got.

paintmejudy 10-23-2013 06:11 AM

oh my gosh those owls are the most adorable things!

Thanks, Lynnie, I rather like it!:o

quilterjody 10-23-2013 06:53 AM

I received my swap from owlvamp. You can see them on page 6. They are the cutest crocheted ornies! I love them. She used blue paper clips for the skates. Adorable!
dotcomdtcm Yours will be on its way the afternoon.

cherrio 10-23-2013 07:19 AM

just so nobody thinks I'm being rude and not acknowledging my ornies-nope didn't get any. I have not mailed mine either. When the retirement check comes in the 1st-I will mail mine out. cross your fingers for me that I get a job soon. Got a few lines in the water. Just praying for a bite. loving this swap.

mary quilting 10-23-2013 07:43 AM

My ornaments are on there way. one is going north west of me and one is going north east (west ha ha )?

lynnie 10-23-2013 10:56 AM

well, I haven't received mine yet, so I guess i'm very east. unless things are going to new England area. we'll see. I hope my partner took pics, I can't.
yesterday, I went to my friends and we tried to put my roasted turkey on but we couldn't get it to go. I went to bing and put in stuffed roasted turkey and one like it came up. I might have put in felt also. try that and you can see what mine looks like.

owlvamp 10-23-2013 04:10 PM

Awesome glad you like them. Yep I mailed mine as soon as I got your name. With my brain I like to get it done right away so you have it on time. Thank you for letting me know it arrived safely.

lawsonmugs 10-23-2013 04:29 PM

I haven't gotten mine yet either. My pal received hers last Friday.Or that's what shows in the post office.I took pictues in case she can't post any. If I don't hear from her by Friday maybe I will post them.

kiffie2413 10-23-2013 09:37 PM

Cherrio,
Good luck in your job search! I haven't mailed mine, either...but we have time until the deadline.
Loving all the ornys!
Kif

Cindy60545 10-24-2013 08:52 AM

Well, today must be a great day! My mail lady stopped me to give me an envelope from Santa's elf, Ornament dept.
Thank you PaintmeJudy! What gorgeous additions they are going to make on my Christmas tree in my studio! You know, it stays up all year long for me to admire. Of course, I may have to get a bigger tree next year!!

lynnie 10-24-2013 09:06 AM

still nothing here. i'm living my life vicariously thru all you, sooo, I need pictures. (they make me feel better) thanks

lawsonmugs 10-24-2013 09:28 AM

Cindy pictures please.....

lynnie 10-24-2013 09:55 AM

people getting/sending ornaments without pics is like a quilt magazine in black and white

Difergie 10-24-2013 10:16 AM

I think I might put mine up in my studio also! We are starting a remodel of a garage in two weeks and that will be my new studio..to say I can not wait is a gross understatement.....I swear my concrete floors are going to be hot pink..women's cave

mdall 10-24-2013 11:20 AM

No ornaments here for me yet, but DH hasnt come home with the mail yet. I also havent mailed mine either. Have one for each done but still working on others. I keep seeing new things I want to try. Just put some bling on one I am trying and have to wait for the glue to dry.

I was wondering, how do you feel about non traditional colors? I have some buttons in pink, teal, and other colors that I am dying to use and been thinking of things to do to incoorperate them in an ornament. I know Lynnie likes teal for Xmas but what about the rest of you.

lynnie 10-24-2013 11:30 AM

difergie, you need to have a party with all of us there. soooooo, take some pics, and we'll all have a drink and cookies and celebrate your new pink floored sewing room!
mdall, it's killing me waiting to see what the rest of you all are getting. it's so suspenseful. when does your dh come home with the mail? the suspense is like a Hitchcock movie.
the tree goes up in a month, can't wait. Then Zoey has an all new playground to climb.
(all us fur parents have a lot to look forward to).

paintmejudy 10-24-2013 12:31 PM

LAWQSON - I HAD POSTED PIX BEFORE, THEY ARE THE WOODEN ORNAMENTS
Cindy, glad you like them. I have a funny story about year-round trees. When we first got an artificial tree back in the late 60s, I told my husband I wanted to just keep it up year round. My sewing room was right next to the living room, and all he'd have to do was put a door from the living room to my sewing room and I could just opoen the door, slide it in, and cover with a sheet. He looked at me, pondered a bit, and I actually thought he would go for it. His reply: "Not in this lifetime." Oh well, it was a good idea....

lawsonmugs 10-24-2013 01:29 PM

Sorry Judy, I forgot I had seen them. I loved the wood slices that were painted. I'm in 3 swaps this month and get confused easily.My husband is onry too. They make you think they will do something then walk away shaking their heads. Usually I end doing it myself.

Difergie 10-24-2013 01:53 PM

Tilted ears--did you get the ornaments from me?

Oksewnsew 10-24-2013 02:00 PM

Ladybug, I got 2 very sweet ornaments from you today. Thanks so much.. HOW did you know I love, love, love pink? The little snowman is cute too. I can see I'm going to have to get a bigger tree for all my handmade items. I get all of them on there, ya can't see the tree..lol

My ornaments have been in my sewing room, just waiting to be mailed. I'm sending 2 to each of my ladies, but am still playing with things, might add something else.. ;o)

Thanks again.
Jean

grann of 6 10-24-2013 04:15 PM

Still haven't heard from one of my swap partners. I am getting worried, she should have gotten them last Saturday. Unfortunately there was no delivery confirmation because they went in a first class mailing envelope. I'd like to know, because if she didn't get them, I could send another batch, I made 2 for each of my swap partners. Well, maybe she didn't like them and doesn't know how to say it. Oh well, I tried.

mdall 10-24-2013 05:01 PM

Grann of 6, I would wait just a bit more. If some peoples mail carriers are like mine who knows what box the stuff ends up in. I live next door to all my in-laws and our mail carrier just bundles all the stuff together and puts it all in one box. Sometimes it my box, sometimes it one of the other family members box. We just call each other a couple times a week and tell each other hey I have a stack of your mail. It really burns my butt. I'm sure you will here from the other partner soon. They may be on vaca or something also. Hang in there.

grann of 6 10-24-2013 06:08 PM

I will wait a couple more days. She hasn't posted at all as far as I can see, so maybe she is away. Thanks.

mdall 10-24-2013 06:50 PM

Well still pondering more ornament designs. I do believe I am getting them narrowed down. I can say that I am off in the morning to get some glitter so I hope my partners like sparkles. These just may make in the box if they come out like the picture I have in my head.

Also, my kids have been watching me as I make these ornaments and they want to make some also. I was wondering if my partners are reading would you mind getting an ornament made by a child. I of course would include the ones that I made but they so badly want to join in and keep asking if they can make something for my partners.

owlvamp 10-24-2013 07:30 PM

If you have me mdall I wouldn't mind a child sending me an ornament. I'm also still waiting to see if someone received my ornaments as well.
