This smells similar to the original to me (I find Goblin to be closer to Banshee Beat / Revenant Rhythm) but doesn't yet have the depth that patchouli gets from aging.  Will set aside for a year or so!

Maybe my nose is broken because this smells very similar to the original to me, but not aged into lovely deep richness that I remember my last bottle of OLoP being.   I am thinking it will age wonderfully.

Apologies for my massive brain fog which doesn't let me use the words but I really like this one and might need a back up bottle before they come down.   (I can't remember what the OG Dorian smelled like on me (I destashed it years ago) and don't have any of the new Dorian.)

That is so cute!!!!!

It's a crochet fox!!!! I squealed when I pulled him out.

 

More fox! I'm going to have to fi d a place to hang this up!

 

And fingerless gloves! They fit perfectly and I love the colors.

 

And one of her fabulous bags!! 

 

Plus lovely smellies and tea! The bottle of perfume by the way is like the ultimate blend of my favorite scents. Also that company name! It's my favorite fairy tale. 

 

The little fox has already found himself among all the other little collectibles. You can spy some other forum swap items up there with him.

 

Thank you so so much!!!!

I don't have a lot of pink yarn so I hope the yellow in the mitts isn't too mustardy.  ❤️   

I stalked you a bunch and saw that East of the Sun West of the Moon was your fav, so I dug out this bottle of perfume (I believe they are local to Seattle) and saw it had notes you like, so I figured it was meant for you.   

The crochet fox came out a little wonky but ...

The fox square can be used as a washcloth!   (it's large ...)   Or you could use it as a mat for something, or a trivet.   

I'm glad everything arrived safely!!   Yay!!

I am dumb and thought we had until the end of APRIL, not the end of MARCH so I won't be shipping a package.  Sorry.  🤷‍♀️

ok!!   

Y'all, @lorizav is raising the bar...  So.  Many.  Awesome.  Things!

She made me coasters!!  And a super cute pibble tin!!  And some candle holders!!  

and sent LUSH dream cream!  and a bat bath bomb!!  and candles, and make up samples, and decanting stuff!!!

I'm so over the moon, thank you so much Lori!!

Packed up and ready to go out in the mail on Monday!

It arrived!!   

Do we post in this thread or will there be an IGI thread @Lucchesa?  Do we open now or do we wait? 

This smells fantastic in the bottle and wet on my skin, but the dry down morphs into something that smells not great with my skin chemistry.  boo.  

I also get some kind of spice to this, I keep checking the notes each time I open the bottle to sniff it, sure that there must be cardamom in it.  That's really all I can smell, is cardamom.    (new version, not the original.)

I just want to say.

Muahahahaha!

That is all.

What are you hoping "I" will make "you"?? 

I kind of answered this in my blog.  But without knowing what people can make, it's hard to answer.    So, yeah, I'm curious as well as to what people are making, or what kinds of skill sets we have here.   

I have canvas and paint, beads, wire, leather, hemp, etc. for jewelry and viking knitting, paper clay for making rune stones, yarn, needles, and hooks, roving for needle felting (and soap felting!), tons of fabric and a sewing machine... all of my wax, candle molds, soap molds, bath bomb molds, lip balm stuff, etc. is all packed up so boo, no bath and bodyworks stuff from me.  I have ACCESS to a spinning wheel and I have drop spindles, but I'm not great at spinning.  I might still have fimo somewhere but it's been forever since I made clay beads.  I have a glass cutter for doing stained glass but don't currently have a nice soldering iron or supplies.  I have SOME items for doing cross stitch / embroidery but my eyes are shot right now (I could probably manage some friendship bracelets made with embroidery floss, I used to crank those out in high school )

Soooo I'll probably be knitting.

Ok, I finally edited my signature today and also created a new blog post for the answers here.

NEW QUESTION

Let's say I'm going to make something with your favorite non-fantasy animal that comes in multiple colors of coat.  Do you want the "classic" color or would you like one of their lesser depicted colors?  Or a fantasy color like blue or purple?

(obviously this doesn't apply to Robyn because her dog comes in purple/pink...)

If you're going to make me something with piggies (and they're ALWAYS commonly depicted as pink which I personally find annoying because those are usually hogs, not pigs) I would really prefer the color that my piggies are (Duckie - Gold, Snuffie - Amber with black spots.  Lots of photos on my instagram.)   If it's pibbles, I love "blue" (ie, steel grey.)  White stripe up the nose optional.  Friesians are always black, I like black but a purple or blue tone would be fun too.  Ferrets I love the "dark eyed white" color.  Ratties I love blue hooded.  Bats, black and grey are great but whatever fantasy color (purple?  dark red?  blue?) is fine too.  Did I miss any?

I'm excited to get started!!

 

New question- would you like hand knit items? Fingerless gloves,  hats, small shawl or neck gaiter? If yes,  please give measurements.

 

 

I always love fingerless mitts but I am very picky about using a super stretchy cast on and bind off because I have huuuuge hands.   I don't wear cowls or traditional knitted hats.  I do have a bundle on Ravelry called "make for me" if you need ideas... it has a lot of amigurumi because I'm not great at crocheting...  also lots of colorwork and double knitting.  😂    Honestly, I'm too hot 99.99999999% of the time and I wear t-shirts / shorts / sandals (no socks) when it's 40 outside and am comfortable.  So some of the costume-y hats on my list or amigurumi would probably get more use than mitts or a shawl right now since I make my own.

I should change my signature but I'm too lazy.  If my person has questions, I have LOTS of answers in my blog...

Has everyone received all of their cards?   

If so, I want to report this swap as closed.

I sent mine in.

hey, I got a postcard from Italy yesterday, hahaha.  😂 

I'll THINK about it.    I could afford to ship something light made with yarn but I'd have to work out of my stash.  And any extras would have to be things on hand or homemade too.

I am actually knitting right now ... but I don't know that anyone wants to receives knits as art.

Don’t anyone dare send a single card with greetings for both birthday and holidays! I hear that’s the major pet peeve of people with late December birthdays!!!

I certainly won't!   I have separate cards.  But should I send them at the same time?

I was pondering if I should send mine early, just in case of mail slowness.
