Several swaps will be finishing up in September so let’s talk about round 4!
We will be running 10 swaps this time around.
This is what we need from you:
Are you willing to run the swap you are suggesting?
What is the time frame for the swap (one month, ongoing, one week)
The size of the package to be sent (that’s what she said!) Small, medium. large…combo…
Please list your ideas and the awesome swap mods will put together a poll on September 10th for the next round.
With COVID, I know that a lot of people have missed out on costuming/cosplay events and conventions, and with Halloween coming up, maybe something costume-y would be fun. Probably costume accessories (simple hats, jewelry, masquerade masks, etc.) would be easiest for a swap. I think it’d also be a chance for a lot of different people/craft types to be able to participate, since there’s such a range of possible items.
With smaller items like this, I think getting the swap wrapped up and sent out by Halloween wouldn’t be unreasonable.
I’m not sure I’ve participated in enough things to meet the hosting criteria, but if I have, I’d be willing to give hosting a try.
Oh, one more thing I’d love to host if people are interested!
Not a plushie swap, but a plushie ACCESSORY swap! Clothes/hats/props FOR your plushies! You could make mini furniture or tools, jewelry, handbags, little scarves or sweaters… whatever! Just include the measurement and pictures of the plushie you’re hoping to accessorize along with your Q. If people are interested in this, I’d also do one month of crafting time, and either one large or one medium and one small.
Yes, I would also love a round of STS. @loves2experiment and @alteredmommy were the hosts before so maybe they would be up for hosting it?

I think an ornament swap would be fun! I know we used to have the sweat shoppe ornament swap, but not sure we can do multiple partners here and don’t want to steal that from GatorWranglor, but I was thinking an ongoing ornament swap would be fun and could get us making and receiving a few or many!
I would be happy to host a round of STS if there is interest In previous rounds, a lot of us also swap for holiday goodies, custom goods and general awesomness.
The swap is basically set up like a virtual craft fair, where participants buy/sell crafted items (using points). Items are priced between 1 to 3 points.
It will sorta be an ongoing type of swap, but in the interest of keeping things manageable, I will probably limit claims to a period of one (1) month. Please bear in mind that if you join this swap, you will have to be willing to ship swap pkgs to an international address and send them out in a timely fashion.
