Did someone send already?! I feel like such a slacker.
Don’t feel like a slacker! Mine are a ways from being completed. . .
/whispers/ I haven’t even started mine beyond concepting.
I had to finsh a birthday painting for my mom and my last 4x6 art swap piece. BUT both are done so I’m expecting major progress this weekend!
I just finished what I thought would be an easy extra. It was not easy and it took forever. About midway through, I realized that for whatever reason, when I opened the pattern, it loaded at the incorrect size and without being aware of that, I proceeded working with the wrong size, hence the difficulties. But since I’d already put so much time and effort into the extra, I figured I’d just keep going until I crossed the finish line. I am happy with the final outcome and even more so, happy to have it done . Now onto item #1!
Hey, I’m not much beyond planning, either. So no worries. I had a crazy week at work and got all the planning for my daughter’s first communion done and started sewing her dress. So I hope I get some relaxed crafting time on the weekend because I’m really looking forward to making what I planned.
A little over 2 weeks to send outs. how’s everyone doing?
Item 1 started! Item 2 still only in my brain.
I finished item #1 and I absolutely adore it. Yay! Let’s hope item 2 goes half as well.
A good start on both items!
Just gotta add to ——- to the ——— and then I’m done! I’m feeling the urge for pretty packaging and @Kwality570 said I could send her extras.
I am currently working on item #1. It is a new medium for me and I’m really enjoying working on it. I have also gotten a chance to play around with one of my Christmas gifts for the first time. I love how this swap has gotten me to try something new and use something new!
I had the idea to go off questionnaire and make something that I think my partner @Whistlefish will really like as a coordinating item to something I’ve made. I only purchased one, so here’s to hoping it goes well!
So intriguing!
I’m at that stage of crafting where I’m questioning my 2nd item plans.
I am INTRIGUED. So excited for send out day!
I’m pretty sure anything you make is going to be amazing!
My second item(s) require adhesive. My first glue choice did not work, so I’m hoping option #2 does!! The items are currently at the bottom of this homemade press while the glue cures.
LOL That’s one impressive press
It really is, lol . There’s a cabinet above the box, so everything is wedged super tight giving the press a lot of pressure. I just hope it isn’t so much pressure that the glue seeped through to the top of the items. I really don’t want to find them glued to the bottom of a book, lol.
