I tend to like this swap to be longer because my motivation really doesn’t kick in until the last minute (hey-o! I love to procrastinate.)
I also understand the difficulty of managing a longer swap and I don’t the mind the dates you have already suggested.
I was researching crochet patterns online last night and printed out a few. Once it cools down a little, I’m hoping to get the sewing machine and ironing board out cause I have a couple things I’d like to try sewing for STS (and mending for myself.)
I need more yarn and a pom pom maker so I’m making a Michael’s list…
Longer would work better for me. I can put a few things in my shop right off the bat, but the majority of it will be after the craft show on October 15th.
I might end up skipping this year because of the booth. I can stockpile for next year.
I can totally make it longer. I have my annual halloween party so I may not be as quick-responsive during that time, but then I can craft more afterwards. I almost want this to go until thanksgiving. Or is that too long? Maybe first week of December
How about…
signups friday Sep 1 through friday 15th
setup shop no later than sunday sept 17th
last date to claim is sunday nov 12
last call for over/under is monday nov 13 to friday nov 17
last day is friday nov 17
This way we can go past Halloween but not longer than Thanksgiving.
I was debating whether to join or not when I remembered I have a ton of HP buttons I’ve made, a half dozen pygmy puffs, and a couple polyclay dragons with tiny crates. Would anyone be interested in those?
I could also make some polyclay cat ornaments like the one I did for the ornament swap last year.
Any interest in little poly clay monsters or small watercolor art?
I was worried about my booth, bit i have enough already made for a small STS. I will join no matter the timeline, but i wont be sble to do much updating until after the booth.
