Finished one set of 3x3" otter cards and started a second.
I’m going to try to dust off the poor neglected floor loom soon to hopefully make some scarves or towels to be available…
In the meantime, would anyone be interested in these little handwoven chickens?
Eee!! So cute!
Those otters are adorable! I think one of those chickens would fit perfectly in my DIL’s stocking…
Yes, yes, interested!
Also @Tapestry , the otters are so cute!
And @Mountains_and_Clouds , eeek on the adorable woven chickens!
Super cute! I love the fabrics and they all turned out so well.
It’s getting closer to August and… I sorta have one item ![]()
I always have sooooooo many plans and most never happen.
You’ve still got time. ![]()
I have a list of things I’d like to make…. We shall see how many actually come to fruition.
Wait, is the start date August?
And @Tapestry , that statement is Me in a nutshell!
Here are the dates unless there needs to be changes, but I think this works. I will be away for a few weeks in October, but I should be able to bring my laptop with me so I don’t forsee it being too much of an issue.
signups start: Sept 9
signups close: September 30 @ 9p MST
over/under week is: Oct 28-Nov 4
last day possible after over/under week is: Nov 11
I tend to have the same delusions of grandeur. ![]()
I have enough to join, but I need to have more back-up.
Yikes! We’re getting closer!
I need to start compiling things into their own space to get ready for this…
Same here. I wanted to make sure I had enough to join, but definitely need to brainstorm some more to have a variety of stuff in my shop.
FOUR WEEKS!
Yup, STS starts in four weeks from today.
Quoting myself…
The suggestion is no joke, but I think most people craft while the swap is in progress. There is a longer window this year between when the swap starts and when your shop has to be up.
I saw this news today:
“The United States Postal Service (USPS) is implementing temporary holiday surcharges on various package services during the 2025 peak holiday season, according to FreightWaves, IndexBox, and the USPS itself. These surcharges are scheduled to be in effect from October 5, 2025, to January 18, 2026 .”
This will need to be factored in with your budgeted shipping.
I don’t know why October is considered “peak season” and I doubt that these are “temporary.” I remember the prices that went up temporarily during COVID. Oh, that’s because they never went back down.
