I was a bit bummed that I couldn’t donate to the sale. It does look like a lot of work to manage! I’m hoping I can add something to the sale next time.
How is the theme decided? Can we vote on the next one?

This is my other garage sale work in progress - a tote bag.
There are a lot of other projects trying to tempt me, but now that I’ve posted it here, I’d better hurry up and get it finished! I’ll be out of town this weekend, so I’m hoping to make good progress on it today!

This year the theme was decided around both the season (spring) and the big item I had to kick off the sale (the Sunshine & Rainbows quilt & pillow that I made). It was also a fun theme that all the Mods could enjoy while crafting for the big Bundle that’s currently for sale.
I imagine next time around will work in a similar way. A theme that makes sense at the time. But you are of course welcome to suggest ideas.

Rainbow was a fun theme. I would totally go for a Magic/Fantasy theme. Then I could make a felt dragon.

Btw, the theme isn’t mandatory in any way. You can totally just craft a dragon if you want to.

We have two, maybe three, more pieces to post. Hoping to photograph and gather shipping materials this weekend.

I have one more polyclay figure to donate. I just need to finish it this weekend. If donations are still accepted, of course.

I also have a few more donations planned. I picked up supplies and shipping materials yesterday for a new embroidery project (projects? I plan on making a few of the same item).

Yeah, the first time around we didn’t have a theme beyond “Oh goodness, we need to save our community somehow!” It was a mad scramble to check through all of our gift cupboards and such to find things we had on hand that we made without specific homes in mind.

I will keep accepting donations through May 6th. After that, unless people come up with a bunch more exciting donations, I will need to be done for this round. But I’m happy to do another round in a year or two.
Personally, I have a LC-themed embroidery bundle to get photographs of and list too. Plus, I’m trying to finish a picnic quilt and matching cooler bag, to get one last big donation in. 
Let’s hope I can get it done quickly, now that the huge blocks are all done.

Did the mystery buyer receive the basket I sent? 2 of 4 items is confirmed received so far, bit stressful waiting with fingers crossed. The post is certainly a challenge these days.

I have some lettuce tiles coming out of the kiln on Monday, so if they turn out well that may be up also.

As far as I know, they did? As in, I haven’t heard that they haven’t received.
