Goth Kids Swap

Is it disturbing that it was fun to create creepy gothic stuff for a toddler? Is it more disturbing that Devil’s Rejects was a 4 year old’s favorite movie? Hell yeah! That’s why I joined this swap! Here’s what I made for a cute 4 year old girl who loves koi fish, Disney princesses, zombies, and the Devil’s Rejects. My Goth Kids Swap  package had a  a bedtime theme.

Rockabilly Swap!!!

I really lucked out! My partner for the Craftster Rockabilly Swap was a fashion design teacher, so of course I got clothes! Not only did I get a rockin’ new outfit, but I also got a new apron, ring and wrist pin cushions, a makeup bag with matching coin purse, some glitzy barrettes, makeup brushes, magnets, pedi clippers, headband, and pinup girl compact and tin.

here are some pics of the small-ish stuff:

I couldn’t resist doing up the rockabilly makeup. I would’ve sported bigger hair if I had the right kind of pomade.

Here’s what I sent to my partner:

Craftster Video Game Swap Round 3

I sent off my package for the Craftster Video Game Swap 3. I had trouble parting with these. I crocheted a Little Prince from Katamari Damacy (also my favorite game), knitted some knucks (fingerless gloves) with playstaytion control buttons embroidered on the knuckles, and made her some pistol earrings (Resident Evil is her favorite game).
