I’m Leann from Michigan in the US. I’m married and have a furry dog, Hazel. I am allergic to nickel in jewelry, but otherwise have no allergens. I have a whole pinterest board dedicated to swapping and would love to see any interpretation you see of the items! https://www.pinterest.com/leannavananna/crafties-id-love/ Most of the items on my list are represented there somehow.

Themes/Things I like: monochromatic, black and white combined with pops of color, polka dots, ombre, woodland creatures, rainbows, positive affirmations, cute monsters, whimsical/cute items, kawaii, abstract art, happy mail, ATCoins, small amigurumi, dogs, birds, sloths, cacti, happy mail

Things I prefer not to receive: Items made with recycled jeans or bed sheets (it creeps me out to think of anything made with something that may have touched someone’s naked cha-cha), jewelry (besides the one pendant I have specified below), coffee mugs or drinking glasses (cupboard is already overflowing), all embroidery or cross stitch items preferred hoopless so I can frame instead, no snacks although tea is always welcome!

Colors I like: rich jewel tones, black and white mixed with color, greens, magenta, mustard yellow, and robin’s egg blue

Some things I would love to receive:

  • Colorful, scrappy positive affirmation flags
  • Scrappy Containers like these
  • Adult Merit Badges
  • Anything specified from my Undercover Fandom board on pinterest. Items specified in each entry. T-shirts would need to be women’s L.
  • Handmade soaps or lotions, just no floral scents, please
  • A resin pendant with the letter L in it. No chain, just the pendant due to the nickel allergy. If the little attacher part that the chain goes into is nickel, that’s okay…a little bit shouldn’t be an issue.
  • Microwave bowl holders
  • Fun, colorful rainbow stuff (especially like a notebook cover)
  • Fun dinosaur items Pinterest of Examples I Love
  • Brooches/keychain/zipper pull type items Pinterest of Ones I like

  • Leftover yarn pieces that you can’t find a home for that I can use in weaving - at least 6 foot pieces would be great
  • Mixed media art supplies that might be fun to try
  • Patterned Washi tape
  • Linen Tape Like THIS!
  • Zippers for making zipper pouches in assorted colors.
  • Cute crochet amigurumi books

  • love to make bath and body stuff, so if you had your hands on small amounts of beeswax or various butters (cocoa, shea, mango, for example) i would LOVE LOVE LOVE that!!

I love nearly all colors; metallics, earthy tones, jewel tones… The only color I really shy away from is bubblegum pink. I also love plaid, any and all colors. I really love jellyfish and skunks :heart: My personal “style” is very boho/hippie/lumberjack :laughing: I love surprises so please don’t feel limited to what I have on my list, if anything inspires you please be creative! :smile:

Please nothing political or X-rated :sweat_smile: and I do not have pierced ears, so no earrings please!

I also prefer natural materials (cotton, wool, leather) over plastic/synthetics. I’m not 100% adverse to synthetics though, especially when up-cycling

  • “Not all Those Who Wander are Lost”
  • “Home is behind, the world ahead,
    And there are many paths to tread
    Through shadows to the edge of night,
    Until the stars are all alight.
    The world behind and home ahead,
    We’ll wander back to home and bed.”

  • vintage haberdashery – buttons (esp. glass), trims, velvet ribbons, old wooden spools
  • stationery – I like fancy paper, letterpress, retro, vintage
  • Japanese pattern books for little sewn/quilted items or embroidery – modern or vintage. (I don’t mind if they’re not translated, diagrams/drawings are enough.) Things like Yoko Saito, Ondori (quirky, arty, cute or modern things rather than traditional florals, as I have a lot of traditional floral patterns already).
  • iron on embroidery transfers in a theme you think I’d like (retro sci-fi? vintage fashion? nature?)
  • Burda or Anna magazines, recent or vintage (second hand is OK, but please contact me to check I don’t have that issue already)
  • fancy yarn, mainly sock or DK weight. Noro. Malabrigo. Madeline Tosh. Zauberball.
  • a tube or two of Daniel Smith watercolours, any colour you like (pick a colour you like and I’ll paint you a little picture with it)
  • Sakura Micron pens, black in different sizes, especially the smaller sizes
  • Sakura white gel pens
  • stencils and stamps for mixed media art, e.g. letters and numbers, organic textures, raindrops, handwriting, vintage. Not so much motifs, more backgrounds and textures.

Paper patterns

For standard commercial dress patterns, I am about a size 14.

  • My Small World Jen Kingwell Quilt Pattern
  • Butterick 6018 (retro dress)
  • McCall’s 7978 (blouse)
  • McCall’s 7732 (Victorian costume)
  • Simplicity 8250 (vintage skirt and bolero)
  • Simplicity 9122 (shift dress)

  • Sew Together Bag Pattern by Sew Demented

e-gift vouchers (No postage!)

Misc extras

  • leftovers/partial skeins of wool or wool blend sock/sport weight yarn in green, purple, blue, or grey. I’m (slowly) making a granny square blanket, I can use anything longer than about 3 metres (10 feet)
  • cool paper ephemera, postage stamps, foreign language, vintage, etc.

Postage can be expensive …
These items could be sent letter rate, or no postage at all (repeated – see above for more details)

  • iron on embroidery transfers
  • a piece of embroidery (for me to sew into something)
  • Burda magazine
  • paper sewing patterns

    *homemade cookies or candy (yep. i’m not weird about eating random food from internet strangers)
  • whatever you would like to make i would be sure to love!! (i dont really wear jewellery, other than small stud or small hoop type earrings)

craft supplies:

  • would like to try some resin out, but i’m not sure where to start
  • yarn. i love dishcloth cotton, or any other yarn, any weight.
  • stitch markers or other knitting notions are always appreciated.
    *last swap i was really taken with the idea of wrist/ring pincushions, so blanks to make one of these guys on would be excellent!!
  • i would also be interested in some cross stitch fabric, any size, from your stash would be more than fantastic!!
  • love to make bath and body stuff, so if you had your hands on small amounts of beeswax or various butters (cocoa, shea, mango, for example) i would LOVE LOVE LOVE that!!
  • i consider coffee a craft supply - i can’t craft without it. just saying. i like a darker roast.
    *chocolate or local candy. yes. also a crafting supply…
    *ravelry patterns.

my old pinterest - lots of rude swears on here, please be prepared .
my current pinterest - not as full as the other one, but i do need to go update it, i suppose
