Comfort Creature Swap
Create a stuffie for comfort during this time of crisis. 1 month to craft, any medium. And I cannot run the swap, too many obligations. Sigh.

This is such a cute idea. If no one else wants to host I would do it. Let me think about time frame, unless you have a suggestion.

I remember the mini book swap on C-ster…I love the Firefly themed book I received, it still holds pride of place in my swap goodies shelf

I don’t want to host this, but what about a Customize my face mask Swap.
We make a face mask (or several) with special fabrics, maybe even print or dye the fabrics ourselves. Think fashun darling. Or if people really want to have fun with it, do something a bit more on the artsy side like @RagingSloth’s Most Ridiculous Mask Ever. We can work with our partner to let them know what patterns/sizes we prefer, have a couple of themes to run with, and then let the creativity take over.

I love the customize your own face mask swap idea and would be totally willing to host that. So, I suppose it would be a “small/medium” but give, what? 3 weeks to craft something fabulous?

Awesome! You could also add in the Q the option for making more than 1 mask, since the actual construction themselves is fairly simple.
Also embroidery is a whole world of possibilities too

oh yes good thinking! This could be really awesome 
Oh my gosh! I have so many ideas!
This time around I would like to propose the Craft this Tote (and fill it!) Swap - This was first started by Leslie’sHappyHeart (such a lovely C-ster member 
) I am happy to host this swap - 3 Weeks crafting Time.
This is a very small tote, just 7.5" x 8.5" --but it is a blank canvas for creativity! You would be free to embellish it any way you want to match your partner’s tastes (embroider, paint, stencil, appliqué, glue, etc) then fill it with a ‘medium’s’ worth of goodies. These could be store bought or hand made, or a mix of both (so two smalls or a medium).

I said I’d host the next round of Ongoing ATCs (approximately a million years ago, pandemic time) so if people are still interested, I can do that. Probably about the same set-up, but I’m wondering if it might work best to have a single ongoing thread for discussion & gallery, and just break out the claim threads by month?
Also, was someone interested in hosting the Animal Crossing swap that got briefly mentioned last time?

My Proposal: Use What You Have Swap
Organizer: I would love to organize
Description: Craft from only your stash! If you’re anything like me, you have a massive craft arsenal at your house even after oodles of crafting during social distancing. This would be a low cost swap with shipping being the only expense. Although you will be able to list your favorite colors, anyone that signs up will have to be flexible with colors/patterns because your partner will not be able to purchase something specifically for you.
Size: 1 Medium and 2 Smalls
Crafting Time: One month
