Lord of the Rings swap 2012!

Oh, my gosh, this was such an epic swap! You would not believe the amount of work and creativity people put into their packages!
I tried my best, and think I did ok. My spoilee was ashpags, and here is what she got.

She got a chunky leaf shawl, with a real Mallorn leaf pin. Fellowship stitch markers I made, with a glow in the dark Gandalf. Felted quiver with a mallorn leaf to hold knitting needles or a water bottle. Celtic tatted necklace, knitted leafy mitts (I really love those!), Eye of Sauron pin cushion, hand painted Tree of Gondor shirt, tatted spider and web bookmark, leaf fabric,  moon and star bracelet ('cos she is an astronomer!), and since it was her birthday, I made a little Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy necklace of a whale and a petunia.
 She also received haribu candy, Crunchies (dried fruit), and a few patterns.  Oh, and she also received THE ONE RING!. I don't know why I didn't have a photo of it. hm.

Then, I waited patiently for my package. And when it arrived... well, I was floored!
Looooooky!

Can you believe she made all of this for me!? First the Smaug socks. Yes, I said socks! So beautiful! She made this giant Smaug dragon quilted project bag! It is fabulous!  Next, Endomiel mittens with Arwen's necklace as the cable pattern. Gorgeous! She also made me this super awesome Dragon's Egg purse. I love it so!

Really, there was more! I couldn't believe it. She hand covered this journal and gave me pens in my favorite colors, knitted a Shelob square to go on my Ravelry Halloween afghan,  she made the Elven ear cuffs (sooo cute!). She also got me some crystals and hand wired one to make a necklace. Also, a dragon bookmark and keychain, beautiful little stitch markers, raspberry tea, no bake cookies (they are almost gone now!), and she made Rebel a rattle toy dog bone and sent him some chicken treats. (which he LOVED). Finally, she sent the rest of the leftover yarn from the socks which turned out to be 160 yards. And, some other beautiful blue and black yarn. She hand dyed the yarns, so they are even more special! Wow.. I made out like a bandit, didn't I.  YEAH!!! Thanks to Hermionejean!!!
