Ongoing Offer-What-You-Have (Crafts or Supplies) Swap - December/January

[gavagai]

How big are the notebooks?

[athenamat]

post card size

[astormorray]

I claim the notebooks and the bead collection from athenamat.  This is my first claim of two possible.

Choose one:

-5+ oz merino superwash roving in light blue with colorful noils. (2 available)
http://pics.livejournal.com/astormorray/pic/0004zfhe


-EITHER 8 skeins of peach OR 7 skeins of light red orange Unger "fluffy."  100% acrylic, but really quite soft and, yes, fluffy.  (it's about a US 4 needle size, though they recommend 6 on the label)
http://pics.livejournal.com/astormorray/pic/00050t5b


-Two skeins of handmade yarn!  Yes, handmade by me... for good or ill.
The pink (3.5+ oz) is 2/3 mystery roving and 1/3 columbia fleece dyed with pokeberry at a friend's house.  I am calling it a niave yarn, because it is all bumpy and fuzzy, the real issue was that the columbia wasn't washed enough prior to spinning and didn't draft well as a result.  Although, on the bright side, the yarn screams that it was hand-spun. 
http://pics.livejournal.com/astormorray/pic/0004y60k
The brown/blue (approx 2 oz) is 1/2 mystery roving (if I'm not mistaken, it appears to have some silk in it) and 1/2 columbia dyed with black walnut and supplimented traces of green columbia (kool-aid dyed) with (undyed) merino for contrast.  This columbia was re-washed before spinning, and drafted a bit more evenly, resulting in a worsted weight yarn.

Or pick two:
http://pics.livejournal.com/astormorray/pic/00054ebk
blue patches - 2/3 yard
pink patches - 2/3 yard x 32 inches
pink hello kitty - 1 yard x 28 inches
blue hello kitty - 1 yard x 33 inches claimed by lulubean

Or pick three fat quarters:
http://pics.livejournal.com/astormorray/pic/00053tbe
one pink and white flowers on blue
one <O> sort of shapes on blue
one blue cloudy with dark stars
two cats in space on blue background
two geometric with teal, dark blue, and purple

Or pick 8 skeins from this mixed bag of yarn.  Mostly acrylic, but the white fuzzy stuff is 10% mohair, and the red is 100% wool, though it doesn't look or feel it, particularily.  These are worsted weight or finer.

[lulubean]

OOOOOOOO!  I claim the two hello kitty fabrics please!!

(The colors in the pictures with the plaid bedspread are a little washed out, sorry)

Pick 1

- Little under 2 yds blue flannel with yellow moons (pre-washed, it shrunk a bit)
   
- Buggy print PJ pants that are unfinished (I believe they are a unisex XL, I will finish them if you want them as pants)
   
- Rainbow striped crocheted scarf from the primary colored Red heart pictured below. (dont' have a picture because it's not done yet- long horizontal stripes of the colors bordered around with black)
- Item made from offered yarns below such as a scarf, hat, wrist warmers, etc

or Pick 2 of the following
- Set of stitch markers (request by number, please)
   
- Gray Red Heart Yarn

- "Mill End" Lion Brand Homespun Light Blue
- "Mill End" Lion Brand Homespun Purplish Blue

- 1/2 yd plus a tail banana print cotton (pre-washed)
 
- Scarf made of blueish purple Homespun (3 available: 2 are 34", 1 is 40")
 

[athenamat]

I now have two pending claims (out of three possible pending).

I claim wrist warmers made from the purple (homespun) yarn!

My list (can add more tonight if this is stale, using public internet right now though so that's limiting me):

PICK ONE OF THE FOLLOWING TO MAKE ONE CLAIM:

Reeses Girl Stencil T-Shirt: extra long size small orange Urban Outfitter t-shirt. It's really cuddly fabric.  (I think this is more properly thought of x-tra small, it's too little for me and I have a chest size of 36" to give you an idea)



Quilted Composition Book Covered:

This cover is permanent on a comp book.  It's finished on the back and inside with a doggie print fabric.







PICK TWO OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS TO MAKE ONE CLAIM

MADE BY ME

Pick two (of the following three) pocket tissue holders (they come with tissues in it) -- one is Mary Englebright fabric, one is a pretty blue fabric and one is Strawberry Shortcake ballerina.  All are full lined with a contrasting fabric.





Hemp jewlery -- four bracelets and one necklace (two include metal beads)



Crazy quilt wallet -- it has credit card slots as well as a money slot in the inside. The inside is an orange and brown polka dot print.



Eagle tote bag -- made from a recycled t-shirt sewn over a hemp bag (it has a hemp front and back so it's sturdy).  That's a dust spot from a kitten paw on the lower right, I'll wash it off before sending   This is done with French seams.



SUPPLIES

Unopened mini scrapbook kit



Poseable pals kit -- has everything you need to make one teddy bear and one butterfly beaded key chain



Miniature office supply kit -- this whole thing is like six inches big; it has small stickies, paperclips and even a small roll of tape and stapler.  The front has a law firm name on it (tehehe, a freebie when I was interviewing) but you could easily decoupage stuff on there -- or even better, I love decoupaging, you tell me the them you want on it and I'll do that for you.  Perfect to keep in your bag for those random craft moments.

[calluna]

Just need to let you all know, since the month is coming to an end: I am not organizing a February round for this swap, so please contact me if you'd like to organize it! I've enjoyed running this month's round and you're all fabulous, but I made a promise to myself in December to organize for only one month (it's a personal "learning to set boundaries" issue ).

Now back to athenamat's list (and my internal debate over whether to claim that quilted journal!)...

[gavagai]

I claim the "Quilted Composition Book Covered" from athenamat. This is my fifth claim, three sent, of which two are received. And please someone, organize another round of this swap! I need it!  Would organize myself if it wasn't for the baby about to pop out.


Will add more stuff if not claimed!


Pick one of these!




WTF necklace!  Plastic letters; everything else silver plated.




Crocheted necklace with bobbles! Red wine and champagne!  Can be worn in several different ways.




Interesting looking cute bag with glass beads, gold paint and ribbons on it (about 9"x9"), lined with same fabric as on outside.




Hunk tote (about 13"x14"). Cool blue bag with hunk applique (I just had to get that fabric! ), beige lining.




Jeans bag (about 15"x9"). You can still use all of the outside pockets, also the back pockets (not visible); white lining, closes with small snap button.


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

...or pick three FQs of these!


All cotton! All new fabrics! All of my fabrics are washed once (I do that with all my cottons). Feel free to claim more than one FQ from each up to three FQs in total!




Blue flower outlines.




Brownish flower outlines on cream (? feel free to correct my colour terms).




White cats on cream. (only 1 FQ available)




Colourful fruit. (only 1 FQ available)




Cream paisley.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

...or pick three of these (or combine with FQs above)!

Tulip 3d Fabric Paints
 
Great for all craft surfaces!
Fabric Paint works on glass, wax, wood, papiere-mache & more...
Use Tulip fabric paints to  create Stunning 3D design on all fabrics, and as a quick and easy method of appliqué.  If the instructions are followed, Tulip 3D paint is permanent when dry and garments may be washed on a warm water cycle.

Tulip 3D paints may also be used on hard surfaces such as terracotta, metal, plastic, papiere-mache, or cards.
