Thank you so much, @Raury! I was kinda stressed out about completing this and the stuffie swap at the same time, so having the weekend will be super helpful! @JoyfulClover, bless you for asking!
ha! I typed it up and deleted it twice before actually posting! But as I’m only 60%, I’m also glad we have the extra full weekend. I must have been delusional…
I just hit a roadblock… a technique I thought I could use won’t work… so I’m thinking about a way to work around it. I think I can do it, but it’s a little more labor intensive. It might not be as bad as I think, however. But, it’s a task to tackle tomorrow night. I definitely can’t make a practice version for myself right now…
I finished my stuffie swap a day early (YAY! And also, SHOCKING!) Now all my extra craft attention can go towards finishing this one up in time to ship Monday after I get off work.
Also, COLD FRONT! Wow. I’m in Texas, and it went from 100+ weather to suddenly about 60s… Crazy, but also kind of nice for now.
I am very close to done but still grateful for the weekend so I don’t have to rush.
I was awake until 3:00 am last night- school preparation is so stressful right now! But, I’m hoping to find refuge in working on my item tonight. I think my alternate plan will work, so there’s that, at least
I’m at 80% and so happy with where it is! …now it’s time to juzzzzh it up a bit!
I’m pretty easy going and it was an easy change so never be afraid to ask, the worst would be that I’d say no.
Hey @geekgirl!
Guess wot? Yo hoop is fin! It is the BRIGHTEST DARKEST hoop I’ve ever made. And I love it!
Is everyone who hasn’t sent ready for tomorrow’s send out? Please let me know when you do send.
I am ready! I just finished packing it up this afternoon. I have a lot of meetings tomorrow so I’ve already printed postage and will sneak away at some point Tomorrow to drop it off at the post office.
I packed mine as well, and will send the tracking once it’s official!
Shipped!
I updated the first post with who has sent, received or is late with communication. Please let me know if there are any errors.
I sent yesterday!
If you need me to resend the email with the tracking number I can!
I shipped today/Tuesday (per my PM), and gave a tracking number–it should arrive Saturday, and I am already vibrating with impatience for my partner to receive it!
We just have one more to be sent out and received. Check out the gallery if you haven’t already, there are some really gorgeous pieces of art.
I can’t believe it’s already over! ** wailing **
I loved doing this swap so much! Thank you so much! I need to post my beautiful received hoop in the gallery after work (work has been busier than usual today, so I haven’t had a chance yet).
This swap was so much fun! I had a few challenges to overcome, but it was worth it in the end. And, after looking at everyone’s hooplas, I have some new techniques I want to try.
