These are the rest of the swaps I've done:
Hedgehogs, Gnomes, and Mushrooms - Embroidered Cloth Covered Buttons
- Metal button
- Cotton muslin
- Cotton embroidery thread
These scenes are all from Jan Brett's book Hedgie's Surprise, and I included a small coloring book printed from her website for extra hedgehog fun.

Summer Nature Table - Needle Felted Hermit Crabs and Shell Babies
- Wool
- Shell
- Drift wood from Alki Beach

Rainbows - Mini Mobile
- Glass beads
- Metal (can't remember exactly what)
I made two versions of this, pastel and bright. Sadly, none of the photos of the brights turned out even this well.

Just For Moms - Necklaces (using a wire jig)
- Silk ribbon
- Metal (again unknown)
- Glass bead

Autumn Nature Table - Dreamcatchers
- Metal ring
- Leather
- Glass beads
- Cotton thread

Bath - Felted Soap
- Wool
- Trader Joe's Bar Soap
I will never do this again. I pretty much hated every moment of it, even once I got it working (I actually called Weaving Works part way through to make sure I hadn't accidentally purchased machine washable roving). I have wet felted before and enjoyed it, and have done a lot of needle felting and like it. I did not like wet felting or needle felting on soap. And the red/orange/yellow squashed octopus? That was supposed to be my amazing fiery sun.
Your items are just beautiful!! I was just looking at the hedgehog button earlier and trying to decide what I should use it for.. it has to be just perfect!! :)
