I’ve been making embellished paper clips. Apparently I am obsessed. I have a couple cute little sets of 4 small clips - one Halloween themed and one that’s cute animals. And then I have these corset ones, which will be listed as single items. They would be great for a junk journal but would also make awesome bookmarks! Here are a couple:

Ok, I finished one more landscape and I should have 12 art pieces in my store, plus the goblin pot, and needle felted snail.

I got three soft toy kits recently, but I’m not that keen on this one:

I’ve never made a proper soft toy before so I could use it as a learning piece and if the end result is good, offer the ladybug as part of my STS shop. Or I could just list the kit in my shop under supplies. I’d likely ask 3 points for the kit as they’re a bit pricey ($38 each normally). Or 2-3 points for the finished ladybug if I made it. I’m genuinely not sure which way to go: make it or list the kit.

Thoughts? Would anyone even want this cutie?

Ok, y’all. This swap sounds awesome. Is there someplace I can read more about it? I saw the post about how the points work, but what’s an over/under week? Is it too late to join this? I mainly make and have on hand zipper pouches and crocheted stuffed animals. This really sounds like the Xmas “shop” we had at my elementary school in the 70s that I absolutely LOVED and looked forward to alllll year!

Your yip yips are adorable!! I have that pattern somewhere but have never made it. So funny! We have a rather mad obsession with the Muppets around our house.

Ooh cool! I’ve only ever used TS designs digital patterns, but the kits look perfect for just trying things out!

I think the most info can be found on the thread for last year’s swap ( linked at the top of this one, but I’ll link it here too!.

I think sign-ups will be opening soon.

Thank you! I’ve had the pattern for a while and haven’t done it either. This swap is perfect for things like that.

You haven’t missed it. It hasn’t started yet. Like @Mountains_and_Clouds said - the best way to get an idea is to look at last years shops, BUT (and it’s a big but :peach:) it seems a lot more difficult than it actually is.

Just dive in and you will get the hang of it quickly. We are all here to help too. If you get confused you can always post a question here and we will have your back. I hope you join! I loved zippered pouches and crochet. :heart:

Awesome! Thanks so much for relinking last year’s swap info. That helps a lot! It does say I have to have successfully completed a swap before I can do this one, tho, which is a major bummer. Next year, I guess. I am seriously bummed out bc this sounds like so much fun!!!
Oops. Make that two completed swaps before doing this one.
