ā€œmediumā€ is such an ambiguous term in my crafty swapping world…ha.

Yay! So I plan to send out two projects that hopefully together make a medium.

I’ll do that too. First thing turned out nice but it’s not a medium.

Successful stash shopping today! I don’t know if ā€winging itā€ is the best way to make a __________, but that’s what I’m doing.

Think I’m still on track to send out on time. I’ve been sick (non-COVID but still miserable) and have been holding off on touching things, but everything is all gathered and set up and should be speedy. Excited about what I’m making!

I just sent today on my lunch! I was talking to the postal person at the counter when she was typing in the address for the customs form and told her what I was sending and why. She actually told me that she doesn’t have one of the things in the package and always uses something else. The post office is right next to my new work and I might make her one of the ā€œthingsā€ and give it to her next time I go in. She seemed really impressed and said she doesn’t know anyone who does crafts and asked if I had a store. I told her no. She’s been working the past three times I’ve went, so there’s a good chance she’ll be there the next time I go. Is it illegal to give a gift to a postal worker? Is that like a bribe? :wink:

Today is a national holiday and tomorrow is a ā€freebieā€ day off where I work. Plenty of time to mail a package! I’ve done less crafting than planned today because I feel wrung out after the three days of work this week.

Thing 1 have been finished for a while. Looking good!

Thing 2 is close to being finished. It’s a bit wonky due to some design elements being modified along the way. I had a plan… The plan wasn’t great so I modified it to work better. It would look even better if I rip back and change a thing or two, but it’ll have to do. I’ve worked both backwards and forwards on this thing, and time wise it does not make sense to rip back so much. It is functionaland one of a kind at least… I have an idea that will fix a part that’s annoying me, so that might help.

Thing 3. Trying to decide if this would be a good thing to send or not.

LOL pretty sure it would be ok in this case :smiley:
I always enjoy bantering with the postal clerks in my small-town PO – they are so nice & know me by name, which feels so warm & friendly after moving from a large town where the PO workers were almost always in a bad mood

I should be able to send out today. I finished up last night as my original plan turned out wonky.

I sent today! Hope you like it, @geekgirl!

My first (failed) thing was wonky, too…Maybe I’ll go take a pic of it for the ā€œcraft disastersā€ thread!
