ā€œmediumā€ is such an ambiguous term in my crafty swapping worldā€¦ha.

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

Iā€™ll do that too. First thing turned out nice but itā€™s not a medium.

Successful stash shopping today! I donā€™t know if ā€winging itā€ is the best way to make a __________, but thatā€™s what Iā€™m doing.

Think Iā€™m still on track to send out on time. Iā€™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 Iā€™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 doesnā€™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 doesnā€™t know anyone who does crafts and asked if I had a store. I told her no. Sheā€™s been working the past three times Iā€™ve went, so thereā€™s a good chance sheā€™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! Iā€™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. Itā€™s a bit wonky due to some design elements being modified along the way. I had a planā€¦ The plan wasnā€™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 itā€™ll have to do. Iā€™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 leastā€¦ I have an idea that will fix a part thatā€™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 ā€“ 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.

My first (failed) thing was wonky, tooā€¦Maybe Iā€™ll go take a pic of it for the ā€œcraft disastersā€ thread!
