Hah, that reminds me of my eBay heyday and waiting until the last ten seconds to swoop in and snag an auction.

I have another ghost ATC sketched and ready to paint tonight. Hoping to add it either tomorrow morning or Friday. This one is called “Impish.”

I added a stamp to mine and I’m carving another two this afternoon.

I have to flip between Jayne hat (usually evening), stamp carving, and chunky houses. Oh and add my son’s Halloween helmet into the mix. :crazy_face:

eeek! I’m trying to work up one more idea that I hope someone will want to claim –
I am still eyeing a couple of things in shops & I just realized that time is getting short for claiming!

The new stamps are added: Da Vinci’s ornithopter, a flying squirrel, and the fire -breathing monster from Willow.

I mostly stamp correspondence, so that is what I think of when making these.

It would be super fun to carve more movie monsters.

Right???
I’m 96.7% positive I can finish this hat before the start of over/under week.

Which reminds me: I am going on a road trip Friday evening (for all intents and purposes) until late Monday.
Actually I think I’ll move over/under by one day so I can have Tuesday to process messages.

So:

Over/Under week starts Oct 16.

Haha if you don’t finish the hat, I would love to do a personal swap if you’re interested (or I can just buy it with real money later as well). :upside_down_face:

Added a patchwork box bag and masterboard cards (which I honestly thought I’d already added). I have the panels for another pouch pieced and quilted, but it’s a toss up whether I manage to get it sewn or not.

I would totally do a personal swap! I’m pretty sure I’ll finish it :slight_smile:

I wish I had been more prepared for this swap because you guys turned out! So many amazing things still available in the shops!

I am also going on a little road trip starting Sunday until Wednesday and I just don’t think I am going to finish the crochet project I am working on. Something for next round!

Yes! I still have a list, haha!

I am going to start working on a store stash now, so I don’t miss the next round. This one has so many awesome things!

I agree – here’s hoping I don’t forget in 2025!
Maybe one of you with a better memory can ping me when the discussion starts next year? Pretty please?

now I’m going to look at the shops!

Did you know you can set bookmarks with reminders on LC? It’s great for things like this!

I do have bookmarks set up for all the STS stuff, but for some reason I also missed the discussion thread until just a couple weeks before the swap started.

It had been going on since January and I have no idea how I missed it. :joy:
