Details of swap:

This is an ongoing swap: Claim an item from the list of the last person who posted and post your own list in response. It makes a chain. When we get to the end of the month, the very last person to post a list will be the first person to post a list at the beginning of the next month.

The size of the claim should be a medium item. This means 2 or more crafting hours (this is not cooking time, drying time, etcā€¦ waiting around for something to set upā€¦it is craft time for the average crafter) or supplies worth at least $20.

ABOUT SENDING AND RECEIVINGā€¦

  1. When you send to the person you have claimed, you MUST PM the organizer with the delivery confirmation # or if you are outside the US, you need to either PM the customs number on your receipt from the post office or upload a copy of your post office receipt.
  2. When you receive a claim, you MUST PM the organizer so she can update the main list.
  3. We are asking that everyone post once a week in the discussion/gallery boardā€“so that we know youā€™re still here with us. Obviously, if you join mid month, you would only need to post for the weeks you are in the swap (the last 2 weeks cuz you werenā€™t in the swap during the first 2 weeks).
  4. Feedback will be given once all of your packages have been received.
  5. Please include craft, supplies and misc items on your list-just in case the swap slows down. The more on the list, the more the swap will keep going.

You can make 3 claims at one time. Once you have sent and shown proof it was sent, you can claim again.

If you want to participate, information to send to: kittykill

This is for @EriChanHime. They were the last person from the previous swap.

Hi, yā€™all! Iā€™m Erin from central Texas, USA. I live in a tiny condo with my ā€œnewā€ (weā€™re coming up on our 1-year anniversary the day after Valentineā€™s Day) husband. I currently work from home, and I love collecting a ridiculous variety of things that I stuff in curio cabinets (because I hate dusting even more than I like collecting). I enjoy watching movies, playing computer and board/card games, and reading as many books as humanly possible. Some of my crafting has been on hiatus as we traveled to see family over the holidays, and as we are still working on our home. It has been awesome using this swap to ease back in!

Crafty Things Iā€™d love to get:

-I love sewn and stitched/embroidered things, especially, like ornaments and Hooplas (hooped or framed or flat)

-I enjoy tiny clay or pottery things

-I love little dolls (sewn or hard-sculpted or felted) or figures or art dolls or anything that could go in a curio cabinet

-I definitely adore fridge magnets of all kinds

-I love Christmas ornaments of all kinds (except no Santa, please), especially poinsettias, holly, and snowmen/snowflakes

-Egyptian mythological creatures, favorites including:

  • Ammit the Devourer (particularly the cute little version from ā€œThe Kane Chroniclesā€ books, examples here and here ā€“ not my art)

-The Set animal (from the same book series; so hilarious, and also not my art, but hereā€™s a cute one)

-Weird/creepy-cute things in general :laughing:

-Alligator Loki!!! So cute! I like the realistic version as well as various cartoony/cute versions

-Crites (the titular fuzzy eating machines from the 80ā€™s horror film ā€œCrittersā€ and its sequels) ā€“ I like the first and second movie the best

-Xenomorphs (from the Alien movies) & Predators (from the Predator franchise)

-Skeletons and skulls (either traditional or sugar skull style) ā€“ I live with a life-sized medical skeleton named Hezekiah, who dresses in fancy clothes and gets different hats for different holidays/times of the year

-Zombies (both the drippy, Night of the Living Dead kind and the cutesy, cartoony greenish kind)

-I particularly like things where traditionally scary creatures are doing cutesy things, like having tea, or petting fluffy animals, etc.

-Natural forest-y and flower things and creatures:

-Mushrooms (particularly toadstools and Deathā€™s Caps)

-Hanging wisteria

-Hydrangeas (particularly the lavenders, greens, and blues)

-Red and orange poppies

-Luna moths

-Rabbits/bunnies (particularly lops; I used to have a white short-eared lop with grey ears, nose, and tail)

-Japanese things (I used to live there!):

-Torii shrine gates (the red-orange ones)

-Koi no bori (fish kites for Childrenā€™s Day celebrations)

-Kodama, Soot Sprites, and Dust Bunnies from ā€œPrincess Mononoke,ā€ ā€œSpirited Away,ā€ and ā€œMy Neighbor Totoroā€

-Tanuki and Kitsune from Japanese mythology

Supplies Iā€™d love to get:

-I am trying to learn stamp carving, so any blank carving blocks (like the weird pink stuff) in various sizes would be awesome

-I would really enjoy trying some rinse-away stabilizer, too! I learned about it in a local embroidery group, and itā€™s been on my list ever since, but I havenā€™t had a chance to track it down

-I would adore some genuine wool felt in different colors for making ornaments/small dolls, etc. I only have easy access to acrylic felt, and it isnā€™t strong enough for some things

-I embroider a lot, so nice embroidery floss would be great (I donā€™t need hoops, though!), especially in variegated colors and things like that I donā€™t usually buy for myself

Colors: I love all greens & purples (Japanese wisteria is my favorite flower), oranges (I also love red-orange poppies and Red Death Cap mushrooms), earthy tones, dusty pastels (think Japanese Mori Girl pastels, rather than Easter egg pastels).

Patterns/Symbols/Motifs: I like abstract and floral patterns, as long as the individual motifs are very tiny

Materials: I like pearls, green things (green stone beads or things like that), copper and brass colored bits, layered felt designsā€¦

Treats/Extras Iā€™d love to get:

-I adore teas (both caffeinated and non), and things like Earl Grey and citrus/spice based things are my favorites (I donā€™t like chamomile or other floral flavors of any kind, though)

-I also loooove chocolate, with or without nuts (hazelnuts are my favorites), preferably milk chocolateā€”I also love it paired with mint/peppermint or peanut butter or caramel (but not fruit!)

-I also enjoy coffees (both caffeinated and non) now, as wellā€”chocolate, hazelnut, peppermint, caramel, and flavors like that would be fun!

-I have a postcard collection from around the world, and would love anything local to you

-I like nifty stickers/badges/pins from around the world or anything geeky/nerdy/science-y

General About-Me Info:

Allergy-related - I am allergic to dogs/cats/most animals with fur; cigarette & similar smoke/odor; basically all scented products (I am extremely sensitive to smells and even many natural oils, like lavender or rose, can make me sick). HOWEVER, if you have pets/animals but keep them away from the craft area/item being made, I should be totally fine! Cleaned animal fibers (like real wool) used for crafting are also completely safe. I do not have any food allergies/sensitivities, thankfully.

I have a non-smoking home with no children or animals, and I use unscented beauty and laundry products (free & clear laundry soap and white vinegar only). The only allergen I have/use that I can think of is gluten, which shouldnā€™t be relevant for most types of crafting.

-I really would appreciate it if whatever object(s) I receive were fairly physically small, as my tiny condo just added a husband to it and display space is limited!

-I personally love to sew (fabrics and felts), embroider, and crochet, and I dabble in simple, silly clay work sometimes. Iā€™m not a good cross-stitcher, knitter, or paper-crafter, and I draw like a distracted 7-year-old. 2D art is not where I shine. :wink:

-I am also totally happy to answer questions for my partner, even if I want the end swap gift to be a surprise.

  • My Standard Disclaimers: Please nothing with overt sexual content or obvious sexual nudity, and please nothing with current religious or political content or swearing. Also, please, no personal care products, like soaps or scrubs. My skin is so picky that I canā€™t often use these kinds of things, even if they are unscented and beautifully made. Iā€™m not big on girly-fantasy stuff, neon, animal prints, or rainbows. And please, I beg you, no glitter! :joy:

Iā€™m Jen and I live in New England, USA with my husband, almost 4 year old daughter, and 11 year old dog, Teddie. Iā€™ve been a SAHM in a pandemic so the dog, kid, and I spend a lot of quality time in our backyard and at outdoor activities/events when we can. We love our library (outdoor storytimes! In New England! In Winter!) and reading in general. We donā€™t watch a lot of kid tv so she doesnā€™t know many of the favorite characters of her peers. She loves singing, dancing, classical music and orchestras and Disneyā€™s Winnie the Pooh (the 1977 and Heffalump ones are faves) and is currently obsessed with Mary Poppins. My husband is a Star Wars fella through and through with a particular affection for Vader. (The daughter loves watching videos of John Williams conducting The Imperial March and pretending to conduct along with him). We all love Harry Potter.

Ideas for Crafty Items:

  1. We have nearly gone all paper-free in the kitchen so unpaper towels would be awesome, but maybe thatā€™s a big ask (I donā€™t sew, so no idea how much work that would be.) Or a reusable microwave popcorn bag thingee would be useful. Potholders and tea towels always welcome.
  2. Reusable seasonal, holiday and party decorations. Winter, Valentine, St. Pats, Spring, Easter (non religious), Summer, 4th of july, Fall, Halloween (cute not gory), Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas (non religious), and birthdays. (For birthdays I have this table runner as a jumping off point.)
  3. Anything gnomes, especially David the Gnome style (Think: little Santas). We have several wee gnome homes and fairy houses around the house and yard.
  4. Anything pretty and organizey for the craft ā€œroomā€ shelves. I mostly knit and crochet but have bits and bobs of all kinds. And now that the child is of crafting age I have an abundance of child appropriate supplies as wellā€¦
  5. Anything for tea parties. Pre-Covid we had visits regularly with friends and would bust out my china cups and saucers for a wee snack and chat. These are slowly coming back, especially in the good weather months. Although we are known for doing ā€œSnow Picnicsā€ not everyone is keen to join in. :laughing:
  6. My dining set was my grandmotherā€™s (read: Old, large and the table recently refurbished) we use table runners and candle mats/place mats and always cloth napkins. Anything in that category would be fun.
  7. A full sized apron for a plus sized woman (Iā€™m about 5ā€™6ā€ and a size 22) I love the pioneer looking ones that cover your whole front and also the 40ā€™s/50ā€™s style that are almost like house-coats. Iā€™ve lost many a shirt to fry-pan splatter and red sauce sputters.
  8. Anything hearts especially fabric and felt ones
  9. Daughter has a play structure (slides, a swing, 2 platforms) that I am planning to make make-believe/dress up bins for in different themes, so like, a ship theme, a castle theme, etc. to make the play structure represent different locations. Flags, banners, bunting, whatever comes to mind. Her name starts with ā€œEā€ so any insignia/monogram ideas could include the letter E or S for our last name.

Ideas for Supplies (second hand/from stash you might be downsizing is welcome, too.)

  1. Anything a young child can craft
  2. Craft felts in various colors
  3. Larger safety eyes for dolls, stuffies.
  4. Needle threader for sewing needles.
  5. Supplies for mending clothes/stuff (darning eggs, etc.)

Misc Ideas/Inspirations

  1. Anything for outside play (any time of year)
  2. I love milk chocolate caramels, Dove milk chocolate promises, hershey kisses
  3. Etsy or Amazon gift cards
  4. Anything star wars for the husband
  5. Anything that looks like it belongs on a movie set for a Harry Potter film
  6. A ā€˜string of pearlsā€™ house plant (or cutting)
  7. ā€œMade By Mom,ā€ ā€œMade by Ant Beeā€ labels (some including the year)
  8. Surprises. My pinterest boards might give an idea of things that catch my eye.

I claim Antbee for tea party fun and maybe a heart or two (that sounds very morbid).
