I love that! Makes me love this swap even more.

I have found some great crochet patterns (some free and some on Etsy) that I am starting to work on. I also found some crochet books at the library (and put a bunch on hold).

I have nothing done, but the potential is amazing! :star_struck: :joy:

The estimated swap start date coincides with when I’ll be vending at my first ever U-Pick flower farm event! So, I’ll likely have crafts on hand to get a shop set up and finally join back in on swapping. TBD based on day-job workload, personal stuff, and possible work trips. Would love to jump back in on the action :slight_smile: We’ll see how the year progresses, stay tuned!

YaY! I am looking forward to this again this year!
If anyone has any pottery things or ideas they want me to have ready and/or set aside for the fall, please let me know!

I loved all of your pottery items! You are the main reason I’m getting started so early. I missed out on so much pottery goodness. lol

I would love to get another one of your mugs. I use this one almost every morning. I love it so much!

Awww, I’m glad to hear you’re using it so much!
And thank you! I’ll try to set some mugs aside for STS, just in case!

Ooooo I might need to sign up if I can figure out what to put in my shop.

Assuming this takes place in fall, it could be the push I need to get back to my loom. I’ve been wanting to do another run of towels but I am at personal capacity for towels so they need a home to go to :thinking:

Well… I love your towels, but what about some of your art?

@Tapestry listed quite a few small art pieces last round and they were popular. I think your art would do very well!

I’m always on the lookout for art!!

I’m definitely in the “I have no idea what I’m doing, no one would actually ‘buy’ my art and then that would be embarrassing” stage of my art journey. So we will see :slight_smile:

Maybe list a couple and see what happens. :heart: I love seeing your art and think you are very talented.

While I understand that sentiment as someone who often lacks confidence in her own work - this is 100% not true. Your art is gorgeous and I’m positive it would be snapped up! I would definitely buy some.

That reminds me: I have a pompom to make for a certain hat!

Yep, I plan on having the STS in fall again. I have ideas and supplies, nothing accomplished, per usual.

Ooohhh I thought about that the other day! I think I still know where my pieces to swap ended up…

I have six artwork pieces and one clay piece ready for STS. I feel like I’m finally going to be prepared this year. Possibly :joy:.

I have spent the whole last year hanging my art in actual galleries and nothing has sold so I totally feel that but you have to keep kicking your own a$$ because eventually things DO sell.

I really need to get some new things made. STS will be here before I know what happened!
