I should have my replacement package finished for my other swap and I’ll be able to sign up for this one this weekend, just in time before signups end! I’m looking forward to making a few little crafty packages.

Would LOVE to, but I need to finish a replacement for a missing swap package before thinking about joining. Those cat trees are so cool!

I’ve also got a pretty good collection of 1:12 scale dollhouse cat trees, too, but I haven’t seen any dollhouse mentions in the list either.
Here’s some pics. The halloween one with the black kitty is my worst made one. The fabric was so thin that the glue came through in places, but I think it’s still pretty neat, though.

Hmm! There might be something I can do for someone that won’t involve mailing anything. 
@Lynx How about domestic languages? Like Cherokee, Tzotzil Maya, or even perhaps Quechua (I used to know a bit of that)? With a little work, I may even be able to write a few Tzotzil phrases using the classic Yucatec syllabary (I already have the Tzotzil word for fern written in it as a computer graphic in the picture below).
It’s more like the codex format, but I’m certain I could come up with a few other styles.

HMMM, I don’t know exactly I had in mind when I wrote ‘foreign languages, as a theme’ but this is definitely a whole “nother” level I had never even considered. I am intrigued.

I do have a child with a love for all things smol and miniaturized.
I’m pretty sure he’d love those adorable mini cat trees.

I finished a miniature ____ for the ____ I’m making for _____. I’ve challenged myself to only use current supplies and not visit the craft store. We’ll see how long my resolve holds out 
.
I am about 3/4 done with 2 claims - I hit the craft store after work yesterday and bought the supplies I needed to finish these and to start my 3rd one. I should be hitting the post office first thing next week to mail out 2.
I’m having some anxiety lately (aren’t we all?) so nice to have projects to work on at 3am when I can’t fall back to sleep.

Yes; crafting is always better than doomscrolling.

I did a lot of that too. I went to “Sock Summit” years ago in Portland and attended a lecture about how it’s scientifically proven that doing a simple, repetitive task like knitting or crocheting can help you cope and process trauma.
Ding ding ding!

Ok swappers-- two things:
-
@CatwithSevenToes has officially joined us, so once he posts a wishlist other claimimg is on hold until he has been claimed.
-
We have 4 more days for anyone else who is debating joining us to make up their mind! Come play!
