Here are my inchies that I mailed out to my two SwapBot swap partners (six inchies each).
These things a lots of fun to make, but a little tedious too. I have several fine blisters on my fingers from burning them with the hot glue gun. I'm quite dangerous with a hot glue gun in my hand. I think I would probably do less harm with a real gun.
But there they are. A lot more work went into them than the results show. I hope my partners like them.
Today at The Yellow House, the front porch rails are being painted. The big reveal is coming up soon, so stay tuned.
I hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend. Happy Labor Day, everyone.

Inchies are so cute! I think I'd like to do some up with cross stitch.
BTW, I like the poem you put on my blog about my header and my sweater, LOL!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous and worth every blister! You cracked me up with that "real gun" comment. :-)

Oooh, now they are sweet!! My eyes are getting to that stage where I have to move my hands up and back to focus and I haven't yet given in to glasses. Those things look like something I'd have fits with!!
Hope you're settled in watching football right about now.
Have a good Labor Day weekend!

Those inches are way too cute! Sorry about the blisters but I bet your swap partners will love 'em! We had a family picnic today for my Mom's 71st b'day...very nice weather & good time. Hope you're enjoying your Labor Day weekend.

Those little inches are so pretty and soooo detailed.
So much work but the rewards are so big. I don't think I have the patience for work like that anymore.
I can see that you love doing it though. You go girl.
Love...Jeanne
ps. I am finally able to have enough patience to visit my blogging friends. Meds for pain are a big help. Smile. Now if I can just stay awake!

The inchies are very cute! I'm sure they will be very much enjoyed!
I tried your cobbler recipe using the tail-ends of summer fruits and early drops of the fall fruits - it is a very forgiving recipe and turned out very well! It was enjoyed by all (I even grated a bit of zucchini into the batter - this is Minnesota and we have more zukes than people here in Faribault County)!
