STS (Shop the Swap) 2023 Fall Market Discussion

Whee! I decided to go ahead and open my shop, even though I still will be adding things. Made my first claims, too. Can’t wait till all the shops are fully open!

I’m planning on opening today. Just have to get my top three photographed.

I ran out of time and daylight today. Hoping to get my pics tomorrow and open up my shop. :slight_smile:

I’m trying to decide what to make for my sweat shoppe ornament (opening soon) and thought I’d make gnomes.

Obviously the model magic ones are smaller and still unpainted. I’m kinda leaning towards the MM ones since I’m already burnt out on the needle felted ones. If I offered either style here, would there be interest?

I opened my shop. I’m missing a photo of an item, but I should be able to snap it tomorrow.

@Lynx I’m not much of a gnome person myself.

Someone needs to claim that unicorn right now! He’s so cute! :unicorn::unicorn::unicorn:

Hahaha, thank you! I suppose if ppl wanted to, they could unbraid the mane and tail and brush it out with a wire brush.

OR they could claim it and send it to me :joy:

Lilac dragon is good to go! Hoping to work on my cat ornament blanks tonight, then bake (and eat) some cookies…for purely aesthetic reasons. I need a picture, right?

Which would have me opening my shop tomorrow.

Sorry for opening and disappearing! Work got busy all of a sudden. Packing all the claims from me to send on Monday, and I’ll make some claims today! (The analysis paralysis is real though!)

I’ve decided to go in a completely different direction for the sweat shoppe, so I’m heading over to list the felt gnomes.

It was a little difficult at first to make sure I was updating two spreadsheets plus two different posts and sometimes five altogether when it involved my own shop, but I think I have the hang of it now. Thank you for giving me the excellent instructions and examples!

I was nervous about a month ago, but now I’m good. I would have liked to have had more original items, but I didn’t use my summer time the wisest. So it goes. :rofl:

I know what you mean. I had big plans for making Temari balls, but then ended up being away from home almost two months and getting very little crafting done during that time.

THANKS so much for hosting this round! I know we all appreciate it so much!

I’ve got my claims all packaged up and will try to hit the post office tomorrow before work so I can spend more points. Lots of cute stuff showing up!

@irid3sc3nt - the sample pic I’m using for the cat ornaments is the one I made for you of your kitty boy.
