[kittykill (Eat the Marshmallow ~me)]

Awesome. If they both end up being picked. We can work it out. I hear we have excellent swap mods and members who will lend a helping hand.

Yay! Glad you were able to decipher my comment despite my apparently stopping mid-sentence in there. I’m a bit sleepy! XD

@PrincessP

ght start making a new Lettuce Craft Wish pint

That’s super clever, actually! I like that idea. Definitely makes mailing easier, as long as it’s not a super bulky hoop style.

What is an EPP swap?

English Paper Piecing!

Usually for the 12 days of Christmas swap we typically start in late August or very early September. There’s usually 2 large items, 4 or so medium ones and the rest are smalls. It takes a looooong time to craft lol.

[steiconi (textile junkie)]

I don’t actually want to do a swap, but like to think about it (hmm, could we do a virtual swap, where we plan it but never have to actually make anything?)

Anyway, for Christmas, it might be cool to do a putz house or bottlebrush tree swap.

I’ve hosted a swap here in the first round and would organize both the Use What You Have and the Animal Crossing if it’s picked too.

[kittykill (Eat the Marshmallow ~me)]

Awesome! Thank you!

I’m posting here as a reminder (to me) for the next round of voting:

@Phizzychick posted the sweetest little salt and cornflower foxes, mole, badger, and crow, inspired by the artistry of Jenny Barnett.

Woodland Creature Creations

I follow Jenny Barnett’s makes on F’book and so when she posted a craftalong #dollmakingwithjennybarnett to make her fabulous salt and cornflour foxes I could’t resist! It has spiralled from there and I now have a whole collection! The original [P1130071] With a friend [P1130129] Then mole… (using black salt and left unpainted) [P1130210] And badger… [P1130212] And the mst recent, Mr Wilkins MiCAWber… [P1130435] I currently have several more bady parts drying, it’s beco…

I would love to host a Jenny Barnett creature swap. She shared her recipe as well as shaping tutorials. It reminds me of Teesha Moore patches!

[gozer (Becca)]

I would join this!!!

[EriChanHime (Erin)]

I’m super impatient to see the swap results! I just finished a present for my boyfriend this week. I started it on Tuesday evening and finished it up yesterday. Now I need a new project!

[bluebird]

Are the ongoing swaps going to continue in September? October? And so on?

[kittykill (Eat the Marshmallow ~me)]

That depends. When I post the next round of swap suggestions, I said I would host another round. So, if OWS round two gets the votes, then yes for at least another round.

[bluebird]

Ok, thanks.

[PrincessP (Lauren 🇦🇺)]

When does the next round of swaps start to get discussed?

[kittykill (Eat the Marshmallow ~me)]

I can post something today. I know a lot of swaps are getting close to send out time.

[kittykill (Eat the Marshmallow ~me)]

Suggestion thread for round 4 is up.

Round 4 Swap Ideas

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.

[marionberries (Carol - formerly cmarion3)]

In the last round of swaps, many had SO dates that were fairly close to each other. It was hard if you signed up for more than one swap. Dates just a few days or a week apart really scrunch up your time.
