Swapping is so much fun, I made this DS case for the nintendo DS Case swap on crafster. Gallery of the swap: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=148962.0
I bought this pink brown flower fabric on ebay and thought it would be nice to use it for this case. I sewed the big flowers on the pink fabric. My swap-partner liked the Ds bag very much, so that was a good idea:)
Here is a photo of the front of the bag:

The back has a pocket to put games in:

I'm working on a tutorial for this bag, it's almost finished.
I also made two bears for her kids. These are the bears. She had a photo of her children on her blog: http://pokeyouwithmysticks.blogspot.com/.
They looked so cute, I just had to make them a little gift.

In the gallery you can see photo's of her kids with the bears:

Just wanted to share my favorite website:
It doesn't have anything to do with crafting, but it such a cool website.
It's full off cute animals! I check it everyday, there's always a photo on there that cheers me up.
I've entered another swap in last november. It's a bit late, but I wanted to show the monkey I've made for this swap. The subject of this swap was "Felt Mascot or Little Stuffie Swap" The stuffie had to be smaller then 6 inch. I've made a monkey because my swap partner loved monkeys.
Here you can see the other things that have been made:

It's definitly worth a look, the stuffies made for this swap are all very cute!


Last year I was in Japan and I bought a lot off jewelry parts. You can get such amazing things in Japan, I went to this beadstore that had 6 floors! Never seen anything like that. They seemed to have everything there and more!
I really want to go back to Japan someday, not only for the beads, Japan is really great country to go on holiday. There is no place like Tokyo and you can also find a lot off beautiful places to visit outside the big cities where you can see beautiful temples. If only the flight tickets were cheaper:(.
Here is one of the parts I bought, it is a metal flower ring. I’ve added the pink beads to it.

I made a new plush last week, his name is Poloko and he is one crazy bird.
You can find him on my website : www.fluffels.com.
I made three different versions before I had one I liked. Adding a bit 3d shape into it made it a bit harder then the other ones, because it is the first time I tried 3d in a plush. It is very different then 3d modeling on a computer, that's for sure;). The 3d part is mostly in his bottom part, but that is hard to see on this photo. It makes him a bit rounder from the side.
I'm thinking of a female version now, when I find some time.
