Green Thumb Swap Rnd 2 SU - Apr 17 / SO May 30

I had some setbacks and had to scrap one idea unless I can come up with a different material. The other one is planned in between some carpentry projects that got shoehorned into the week :sweat: I’m still planning to send on time though!

I already sent mine out yesterday. For some reason ai thought send outs were on the 19th.

I’m pretty much on track I believe. Got some extras the other day and crafting is looking good so far. I think I’ll treat myself to a craft break somewhere during the work day today! Got to take full advantage of my WFH day and remember my breaks. :slight_smile:

Did you send me your tracking number?

Thank you!

Yesterday I set up my new sprinkler. You can control how far it goes front to back and on each side. It’s made for odd spaces. After setting it up, it sprayed me and I fell in the front yard running from it. That is how good I am at gardening and plants. :rofl:
The first thing I did was get up and make sure no neighbors saw me. :wink:

I needed more garden, so this paperwhite bulb followed me back to my studio when I went out to the bank… :roll_eyes: …So I set it up in the only appropriate things I had available in my studio: a short canning jar and some pumice I use for soldering. The pumice comes in such a large quantity that I can definitely spare a bit. :grin:

I ran into a tragic setback with my last ink box card yesterday which delayed finishing my second item for this swap… but I have a couple more days to sort this out, right?

BTW, the 26th is a postal holiday.

Rhi, between the house and the inkbox it seems like you’ve hit your quota of unfortunate setbacks! I hope everything else goes smoothly.

We may be in a similar boat for getting things out on Tuesday. I’m hoping to have everything done but my long weekend is going entirely to driving materials up to a friend’s house and building bookshelves. This whole week my partner and I have been furiously planning and cutting and sanding and priming and routing and drilling and now we’re packing up the truck!

In other crafting news, I have one project completely finished and dried, and the other fully formulated and I’m going to try to bring part of it along to work on this weekend. If I have enough uninterrupted hours then and as soon as I get home Monday, I might be able to get it out to the post office on time.

Oops! You arr right. I will extend this to the 30th because of the holiday.

I put some last finishing touches on my swap item today. Found the perfect thing to tie it all together while out and about.

Today is the day. Make sure you let me know if you can’t send.

I’m going to be sending out tomorrow or Monday, but I contacted you and my swap partner already. I am making progress.

I sent today. The tracked letter option was a pain in the rear to fill out online so I understand why it’s only available online… Would take ages to do at the counter.

My package from Reese52 appears to have reached swedish customs, but it’s not searchable on the page they send you to for paying customs fees. No ransom note yet either. It might show up without a ransom note, we’ll see!

In cucumber news the plant seems to have two kinds of flowers so I might have to try to pollinate to see any fruit. I don’t dare putting it outside since it’s a bit chilly still. It’s either let the bugs in or pretend to be a pollinator I guess. :honeybee:
