As I’ve already told you, I’ve hung the cluster of nests on my wall and it makes a beautiful focal point. Thank you so much for another mind provoking and eye catching swap.

I'm connected with the local SURJ (showing up for Racial Justice) chapter and that helps to guide me into action and connect with other groups working on change. That's funny about your Son and Teagens. I've never seen the one on Dr. Who but I've been told there is one :)

Comment: Thanks for the TWO zines and the sticker Being poor, growing up and living in Native American communities as a minority, and being in the Army, even as a white woman, I have never felt privileged. I have had to deal with discrimination every day and work hard for every scrap of self worth and self esteem. Each person has their own row to hoe and it doesn't make any one person less or more than the rest. The process of living and living true to yourself and being the best you, you can be is the goal. Being conscious and present is the beginning. Great job! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry

Comment: There is not mummy on it. There is some sewing that and 4 little scraps of paper on the cover picture of a noodle dinner mix. Are the noodles supposed to be the Mummy?.........I got the resend and I love them. Thank you : )
Response: I sent once and the ATCs disappeared in the mail, then on the resend my plastic bag art postcard of a mummy taking a spa day in a bowl of noodles disappeared, leaving only the noodles behind? Argh! Sometimes the plastics aren't as compatible as I like them to be, which is why I stitched the mummy on, just to be sure... clearly something went wrong with the eyes and mouth on this one! My second resend of two mummy postcards going out 11/10/16 :)

Comment: I absolutely love this card! I knew it was special when even my sharp scissors wouldnt split the envelope! Thank you so much! Have you looked into using watercolor sticks, pencils or markers? There are also bladder pens that would eliminate the need for a water well. Also, the easel that I use is a "french." What is nice about that is you can set the easel and a nearly horizontal position. If you stretch your paper to a board this would be easy! Field books are sometimes made with watercolor paper, and the hard covers make it nice to throw in a pack and go! Happy painting and happy Halloween!
Response: Thanks, I am taking up your inspiration and running with it! :)

I love your note it seems very interesting though I'm going to have to hire a handwriting expert to help translate it. Something about omega dogs, evolution and altruism? Sort of like one of those found poems - I only get every 5th or 3rd word. LOL. Thank you very much for the whole thing. Fun from beginning to end.
Response: Ha! Need to work on the handwriting!! Yes, all those things were mentioned. I thought the bird eating the butterfly and the decaying leaf were sort of dark, but the feather and fabric were sort of innocent. Nature is endlessly fascinating and full of ways to interpret whatever you want out of it. The windows are such a cool concept; you can pick and choose what you see! Thanks for introducing me to the idea.

I want to hang him up like he's flying, but we just had our ceiling done real fancy-like and I don't think I can get away with hanging him up there. Maybe under my loft bed, if I can find a space. He is great! I love his little eyelashes and the tale of the two dudes is hilarious! Thank you so much for another wonderful swap! I can't wait for your next one (let me know if there is another one, alright?).
Response: Oh, Man in Black -- glad he's finding a way into your space -- he's the subtler of the duo, for sure. I was worried that his wings were looking too bat-like; I have not attempted anything like him before. May his eyelashes stay adorable for a while :) So ... any interest in a swap based on an article from the Onion on the Get Down versus Get On UP debate in the National Funk Congress? George Clinton would inspire some awesome creativity ... ?

Comment: After much deliberation and review by our 17 committees and the custodial staff, the Ministry has decided to grant you a 50 pence amount for your short walk (that's $0.77 in your inferior American dollars). We were duly impressed with your subversion of the weiner-mobile status quo in taking the unorthordox picture from the back of the vehicle (an email will be forthcoming with contact details to send the image for our files.) We also appreciate your inclusion of the mustard artifact. All members of the 17 committees and custodial staff relish mustard on their bangers in the morning (except Nigel who uses ketchup, but we allow him to stay in the Ministry because his skip, hop, jump, back flip perambulation is so awe-inspiring and sublime). We eagerly await further grant applications. Cheerio!
Response: I am honored to receive this incredible grant. I will apply it toward my citation for reverse-wienermobile-maneuver number one, which, alas, is punished more severely than the use of ketchup within the limits of this municipality. If I had only thought to stand on my head first, then I could have received an exemption under the circus performance code. I do thank the committee, and await instructions as to submission of family photo at the juncture of Wienermobile and University Avenues.

Comment: Sorry for the late rating! Seems like an interesting book, and one I might like (considering your Dr. Who and Sherlock references in the summary). Sad to see though that maybe I'll outgrow my love of YA one day too... but at 35 maybe I still have some good years of loving it left? heehee
Response: Oh, I think so. I am just playing at being a grown-up, perhaps?

Response: Oh, I am so glad that you liked him! I saw him in the magazine and he just appealed to me. Makes me wonder more about life on St Lucia. The typewriter was from eBay, and so was the ribbon! I am waiting for an affordable sepia ribbon to come out. Or maybe a tasteful charcoal grey ...

But you asked about keeping the pieces in place - I pin, pin, pin, sew, iron and pin some more. When I quilt, I use a walking foot attachment on my machine so I have feed dogs on top and bottom and that helps to keep the pieces in alignment, too. Thank you!

Comment: I got the parrots, thank you! You paint quite awesome! Also, the sheet you used as the letter-cum-envelope, reached completely undamaged, just slightly folded in the middle. Now I only have to understand what the ENBP is saying (apart from introducing the mountain troll :)
Response: Yay! Glad it made it! I think that it was saying something about wanting Rommegrot, which is a sort of pudding made with sour cream and flour and raisins and sugar. I might have looked something up in Norwegian online .. I don't speak the language, but I do love Rommegrot, and thought that a parrot might crave it :)

Comment: Loved, love the story, so neat. The cape and hat are so Sherlock Holmes inspired and in my favorite color - you deserve ten stars! There might be sequel to this story - rumor says the AG GOTY for 2015 travels from the USA to France (I think, maybe it was England) to help her grandparents save their bakery. Can see her solving mysteries???
Response: Ooh, French bakery PLUS mystery! I am glad that you liked the cape and hat; they were a lot of fun to make. The story idea kept me going through my (I'm sorry, not-so-skilled) hand stitching :)

I couldn't fit them all in, but I did pick my favorites :) Peace-sign gnome is now a member of the family, moving around the place and peeking out to smile at us on a regular basis -- we are thankful for his presence.

Response: I think that "The Color of Magic" is a perfect fit! Vicious luggage, toothless heroes and invisible dragons. But, hey, the Tiffany Aching series is also a great jumping-off point (The Wee Free Men -- a frying pan,a fairy queen, a granny who likes tobacco and small blue Scotsmen who like the air up their kilts). Oh, you can't go wrong! But of course, there is Hogfather, and then you could join the Third Annual Hogswatch Card Exchange on Swap-bot this fall ....

The only way I see it is you can pick which picture you like best and then you fold the address section back onto the opposite side of the picture you choose. So there would only be 1 send unless you are also counting the other blank side as a PC? But that would only be 2, not 3. Man, I hope I make sense here....lol! 5/6/14 In rating my other partner I noticed that I failed to mark the heart box as I had intended to do for you. Sorry for my slip up, your card was genius!

Comment: What a complete load of crap! I mean awesome random pieces of shit! And random, yes you have definitely fulfilled the swap requirement ten times over. HA. The crap just kept coming and coming out of the envie. Hmmm, if I had to pick my favorite POS what would it be?...I don't know if I can choose. The Hector the wrestler finger puppet is right up there at the top, as is the handy louse removal tip card. Please tell me it is not infused with eggs!?! How appropriate for Easter is the tiny wabbit with the pink scarf!How did you know my memory is fading and I need flash cards to remember my arm muscles? Or is that for the wrestler? HAHA I am going to a wedding next month and will use the elephant trunk in the tent as the gift card. Snort. The douchebag post its, those aren't shit! Those will be very useful. So, is that bacon on that cutout? I tested to see if it is scratch and sniff but it might also be a camera image of a colonoscopy, now not sure which. Um, I really have no words for the photographs of the rainbow colored stuffy's bathroom shenanigans. That one might wins the prize for most bizarre shit. Bwahah! I think those will make awesome postcards. The vintage PCs are neat, in fact I might frame the Peaceful Valley one. I had to Google for Holle and love the story of that. So, am I supposed to stuff her as a pillow or as a piñata? I will use the clear photo pockets in a craft as well as the felt tree I think might work great on my Gelli plate. The other various small creatures are very cute and I'm sure will find their way into some useful POS project. Thanks for the window into your shitty world! I like you a lot.
Response: OH, what a wonderful swap -- it brings tears to my eyes to see my RPS appreciated, and to find Hector and Holle a new home! Holle was stuffed, not sure if I should have sent her that way, but hey! She's yours now. Just know that Hector has a big crush on her and I have no control over his thumb-wrestling instincts. Lice removal tips was sent as a solicitation in the mail. Bacon affirmative, colonoscopy negative, but that would make a very interesting coaster, indeed. The chameleon using the sink was a visual for my son. The wedding PC was found in the library stacks, I thought it completely unique but found an identical one in an antique store after I sent you the other one! I am not sure why I put the scarf on the wabbit -- I probably thought it might look cute and didn't want to throw away that teensy scrap of fabric ... Well, anyway, thanks for appreciating all the strange RPS that goes down here!!

Comment: I loved your package so much! You really get my swap and what it is meant to achieve. I loved everything you sent and the cloth! You are very clever to think of that. Wish I could give you a special heart on top of the one you have earned.

Comment: I am on mold allergy diet right now, but I can't wait until I can have BOTH of these beef dishes.Hopefully after 6 months on the allergy shots, I can give each a try. I am kinda drooling right now. Beef and Broccoli is one of my fave Chinese dishes, so that will be the first. The cake looks fantastic and so easy. I have a granddaughter who loves lemon anything, so this is perfect. Thanks so much!
Response: Oh, no, sending you strength to get through the allergy shots, and hoping that you can get back to broccoli beef soon! I was so excited to find a dual-purpose recipe. I hope that your granddaughter enjoys the pudding cake as well :)

Comment: I just got your package and I was excited to open it! It felt like it was Christmas time lol. I love the multitude of stamps you used, the square heart you made and the packaging was really nice! It really made the reveal suspenseful haha. Looking at the necklace just took my breath away, I absolutely loved it and am so excited that I own something that was beautifully made for me. I cant wait till I can wear it out. The note you sent was lovely as well, I think it would be awesome to write to you too :). Thank you again for this perfect package!
Response: Aw, thanks so much! I find the embellishing part of things really challenging, so I am glad that you liked this one :) Looking forward to more ASBB swaps, thanks for being interested in the group!

There was, however, a ring that was 3 inches tall that was made by a local artist that was quite fascinating and expensive! I didn't buy it, but it was very interesting. And there were postcards of donkeys that were 5x as expensive as the cotton Givenchy scarf! Love it :) I am so glad that you liked them.

Comment: This was such a great swap idea. I'd love to do it again sometime. I really enjoyed reading your memory, too. And i loved making your set. I have to say, and it kills me to tell you, because I can tell you spent a lot of time on it, that your resin seems to have melted into a strange formation. Upon opening, part of it came apart. But I know you are trying something new, so that's ok. You'll get better as you go along with it. Thanks for swapping with me. The OC postcard images were really vintagey and cute.
Response: Oh, no! After the repour and everything! Gnashing of teeth. Well, I am going to make that mini-book happen, somehow, resin or no resin. In fact, a smashed penny from OC arrived the day I sent the swap, so there is a bit more inspiration left :) Did the earrings come apart, too? -- they were a different material, so I really hope they were safe!

Got to say that the word Nepo doesn't ring any bells - it sounds like a Finnish (nick)name, but I've never heard it before.
Response: I am so glad that you enjoyed the hat! They make me smile a lot when I make them. Ah, well. Maybe we will never know much about the origins of Finn Dog, but he is a great little guy and we think his name suits him.

The Tatoos are hilarious! Again, thanx. Update: thank you and your Kid for the resend! Great Zine - my son loved it!

When (of maybe you already did) receive yours turn the hexaflexaxon counter clockwise when you want to make your next move. Do this a couple of times and you will see, side F appears. ;0) Thank you also for your wonderful card and note. One of those places on my list I would love to visit one day (when our kids are a little older). Hope to see you again in the near future for another swap.
Response: I was looking for side F for another 10 minutes or so as well -- I tried the "double flex" trick that I discovered when I was looking for B and it jammed and I had to go backwards. My husband said that I was imagining that F was there -- so glad to know that it exists, and I am sorry I missed it! Never hexaflex for the first time without an experienced guide, I guess -- thanks! Ecuador is beautiful -- it has been so long since I have been there, but I remember the green mountains very vividly! :)

Response: I'm so glad that you liked it! I had never really thought about the titles -- the first one was inspired by someone's profile and the second just came to me. But now I am thinking about the possibilities ... Beans and Breakdancing; Eggs and Economics; Narnia and Noodles? Guess I'd better make some breakfast!

Response: I am glad that you liked the red! It was a lot of fun to lay out. I hadn't imagined that I would focus on the layout, but it seemed like that was the fun part (well, and dissolving the stabilizer and seeing what it looked like!)! I am so excited about the stabilizer, even if it does gum up the needle a bit :)

Alas, no sausage origami did I find, but the bacon was pretty fun, as was the cupcake. I am so glad that you and your gf had fun with them!

Sorry your spring peas got flooded out. :/ Our spring peas are in danger of perishing to the heat. But the rest are doing great - watermelons, squash, corn, green beans, tomatos, onions, dill, etc. I hope your garden thrives after the cold weather leaves.
Response: I hope it leaves soon -- warm today, now it is supposed to be in the low 40's again. The daffodils are budding but they have little frostbite lines on all the leaves ... oh, well. That's the thing about Spring -- it Springs eternal, right :)? I wish I could grow watermelon well -- mine always seem to have problems. Maybe it's the soil.

I have to wrap the scarf at least 5 times because of its length, so rest assured I'll be warm. Its "wildness" will fit right in when I go in to NYC. You get a heart for repurposing the sweater as many times as you did and still was able to come up with an end product. Thanks so much and happy swapping.
Response: Aww, thanks for the heart, this was not my proudest Swap-bot moment, but this scarf does seem to have a mind of its own ... I'm glad that it will fit in when you go to NYC! I will be working on those sweater scrap roses soon ... maybe they'll be a little more sedate?

It's always nice coming across another Discworld lover on the 'bot! Cheers :D

Unseen Academicals is my current read -- I only skimmed it when it was released. I am almost exclusively "reading" by audiobook, sadly.

It was quite something and very special that he is supporting the research into meditation and the brain. And the fact that we all really do sing the body electric is amazing! I do Reiki which is energy work. I do literally feel the energy move through me when working on someone. The body electric indeed! Thank you!
Response: I am so glad that the ATC's suit you! I immediately thought of the meditation researchers after reading your profile -- and brains make me think of neurotransmitters -- but that comparison of neurotransmission to Trans Atlantic cable! That was precious! So glad it describes your energy work as well :)

Comment: Thanks for the great Swan-Wing Prince! I love that you gave him "The Artist formally known as" garments and the story was great fun to read too. I like the study sheet you sent as well. Do you subscribe to Faeiry Mag or Faerie World? They have some wonderful paper dolls in their mags. Thanks again!!! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry
Response: Ooh, sounds like fun! I used to pick them up at the book store from time to time, but haven't seen them lately. I do wonder what color you will choose for the Prince outfit? :)

Thank you also for the tea - new flavours for me to try. Just a tip - put the name of the swap on your note - I received 3 swaps today with no info on which swap they were for, so I had to play the guessing game. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and enjoy the New Year
Response: Oops, sorry! I am usually pretty good about writing the swap name somewhere, but I think I was a bit rushed/ distracted getting this one out. I believe that small children may have been involved ... Thanks for your patience.

Comment: nice to hear I am not the only one who did not care for this pattern. I think I did not use the right length on the "2nd gathered length", "twice times the length" was not obvious to me. (can I say that I like the bonus skirt inside out perhaps better than lace in?!?)
Response: Yes, of course I was regretting putting the lace underneath as soon as I finished the monster task of sewing all those layers ... sigh. The bonus skirt pattern is here: http://www.polkadotchair.com/2010/01/twirly-dolly-skirt-tutorial.html/

Comment: Great stuff, TR! There's something about this medium that brings out wackiness, darkness, and all kinds of innovative poetry! Of course if you start with Terry Pratchett you can hardly go wrong! I haven't read Thief of Time yet, but I'm adding it to my list. Thanks for the extra goodies, especially for the loon cartoon on the back of the envelope. This one's going into the BigBlackBook!
Response: So glad that you liked the loon cartoon, I think that was my favorite part, although I did love doing the poetry. Terry Pratchett is just ... well, I can't really compare him to anyone. Gently poking fun at most of humankind while laying bare the true uglinesses and small beauties of life? Thief of Time is one of my favorites.

Comment: I loved the letter. And I'm glad you're finding some solace in Buddhism. (My favorite religion) Don't get too hung up on not being "immaterial" - I doubt you're looking to reach full enlightenment, just some peace of mind. I'm pretty sure the Dalai Lama wouldn't mind. He encourages each person to develop his or her own "path." By the way, try reading some of Tich Nhat Hanh's work.
Response: Peace of mind sounds very good! I do enjoy Tich Nhat Hanh, when I can sit still enough! I am still trying to find a quote from a nun who was born in Tibet, she was talking about raising kids as a meditation. Your presence with your children as the meditation. It was really beautiful.

Response: I am so glad that you liked the fox! He seemed like the card for you. Is there a Jane Austen novel that you especially like? I am most fond of Persuasion, but I find Northanger Abbey the most hilarious and Pride and Prejudice the Colin Firthiest :) I first read Pride and Prejudice in a situation when it was the ONLY book in English I could get my hands on, and I even read the extensive annotations as a result. I have been hooked ever since. All about those annotations, I guess.

Response: Dull? What is this "dull" that you speak of? Is it another way to say "lively" or "interesting"? Glad you liked the polka-dot PC. Remind me to host a "design your own plaid PC swap" if you don't! :)

Comment: Heh. I wonder sometimes if I should be more amazed that I cross the Mississippi twice every day. It IS kinda cool, but you forget about it. I LOVE your idea of sewing cardboard chunks together into a postcard. I may have to steal that idea. Lemme know if you try it. I DO sew on cards, but I used to make a lot of fabric postcards and I usually forget I could sew on paper and cardboard.
Response: I am still getting used to what gets mangled in the mail and what doesn't -- I am afraid that I may be a bit TOO adventurous in the sewing postcards together department .. but boy is it fun. One problem is that I am using my modern machine and I should break out the ancient tank of a Pfaff -- it would handle the different textures and heights of paper better.

Comment: LOVE the ornaments and the little black bear extras you picked based on my profile! Thank you sooooo very much!
Response: Glad you liked them! I got all inspired making fabric flowers in a swap, and then I had DuhBe's beautiful roses lying around and thought they would work in a cotton fabric, too. Here's the tutorial for the pointy flowers: http://mouseinmypocket.com/2010/10/fabric-flower-tutorial-1-pointy-petals/ , then I just sewed them back to back and added fabric roses to cover the sewing. Still struggling with the glue thing, but it helps to set a heavy can on them while they are drying ;)

Response: Thanks so much, you are really encouraging. I would like to try a smash book, but I am a little discouraged by the length and by not being very "scrapbook - talented." Maybe sometime soon -- I like to read the descriptions of the swaps! Thanks again for a fun swap!

Comment: Hi, I love Wind in the Willows but have to say that you'd probably find it really hard to find anywhere similar to the places in the book now! Most of the country is just so built up that the serenity down by the riverside is just not there.
Response: Sigh .. I figured that would probably be the case. It's the same here, a lot of places I used to wander about it as a kid are being sold and built up. I think that I remember that the area used to be full of these huge dikes that sort of supported the whole marsh environment. Wow, wish I could have seen that! So .. did you have a favorite Wind in the Willows character?
