ABOUT ME:
I am Marie and I live in Chicago, USA.
Some of you already know but I recently lost my husband last month after a battle with leukemia. My life is a little upside down right now.
My favorite colors are soft pinks, blues, browns, yellows, reds, greens  and black. I don’t really like orange. I am learning how to quilt. I also knit so anything related to that is a hit with me.
I have a thing for owls, I just got an owl tattoo for my husband’s birthday.
I am in need of things to help me organize my space (baskets, trays and what not).
I like all colors but orange, I usually prefers solids but I also like florals, dots and stripes and tone-on-tone.

I'm in North Carolina/US, late 20s, recently married with one cat, two kittens and a giant dog.  It's been so long since I've participated in OWS that I'm having a hard time with this one, but I'm pretty easy going. I love greens and browns, natural fabrics, cottons, canvas, linen.  We are working on leading a simpler life this year and it's hard work! If I stall the list, shout at me.

[elmpixie]

Hey! I claim igobylorib for a wisty suprise and some tidbits... to be discussed!

Top choices are in red!!!

Only all natural/not itchy yarns and fabrics please! Wool is fine, but I prefer a nice wool mix for softness sake. 

I’m a California girl at heart living in Long Island NY so warm things are always appreciated! I like rich earthy colors (browns, blues, greens, purples, greys and things like burnt orange, and mustard yellow) I LOVE penguins, rays and octopi, Doctor Who, and Terry Pratchett.  I also played the violin for 18 years before being forced to stop due to an injury right before I went to Julliard, so violin/classical music themes are close to my heart and very appreciated. 


HUGE WISH!!!!!!!!!!! I REALLY would like a GOCCO japanese print maker... if you have one you don't use, I'd be willing to negotiate for it... crafts/money/cleaning your kitchen for the next 30 years perhaps?

I’d also love what I’m calling a “Ravelry Kit” where you pick something from my Ravelry favorites list, and send me what I need to make it (basically, the pattern, enough of the right kind of yarn, the right needles and any notions needed) If you have lots of yarn and needles, but no Ravelry account, PM me for a somewhat smaller selection of patterns I’d love to do that I have put aside.

This is my second claim, 0 sent and 0 recieved

I am 28 years old and live in Wisconsin with my husband and our two cats, Gizmo and Nala. I love crafts that reflect nature and/or reuse and recycle materials. I also like funky, freaky, weird, cool, unusual craft items. My favorite colors are chocolate brown, blue and green. I am not a big fan of pinks or any thing too girly. I love to sew, decoupage, make paper and play with polymer clay.

Im going to claim elmpixie for a top or dress (havent decided which yet)


This is my first claim this round.
None sent 
None received

Hello there !!
Im Tammy.  Im 36 and im a stay at home mom to three boys in Northern California. I just moved here from OH and love it!!  I like to sew, quilt.  I am starting to get into embroidery and can crochet a little bit.  Im very much into girly type stuff and love anything regency -titanic era. I also love 30s-40s things as well.  I am allergic to nickel.
 
Here are my wishes
First off any surprise off my wist list is great!!

Crafted Items~~

KNITTED AND CROCHETED

Crocheted Victorian Reticule like this one http://www.knitheaven.com/vintagepatterns/23_LADYS_RETICULE_CROCHET.htm

I love this shawl and am willing to wait longer if anyone will make it for me. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CivilWarShawlKAL/  Im not picky about color.  Would be just happy to even have one.

A crocheted or knitted Sontang.  This is a Civil War era item.  Here is a pattern link to one http://www.csa-scla.org/articles/Sontag.htm#ModernSontag2 I would like one in cream or chocolate brown color.


SEWN

**Civil War Era Cape called a Mathilde Mantilla (Think of a Civil War era Poncho.  This is basically what it is)  Here is a link to the pattern http://www.uvm.edu/%7Ehag/godey/images/s5902170.jpg  and here is an example of what it looks like http://www.thegracefullady.com/civilwargowns/ready-mades_silkmantle.htm Measurements will be provided.  Wool blend or Corduroy would be great. Hood is decorative and is not functional. It only uses around 3 yards.  I would also prefer it lined for warmth. It would be great if I could retain the pattern as well for future projects.  (I can sew I just cant figure out how to make it <frown>) without a pre-drafted pattern.  OR If someone with any drafting skills wouldn’t mind drafting a pattern to my size I could play around with it and make my own (If I have a pattern to work with)

Handmade lunch bags!!  I looking for one for each of my boys and hubby.  (Claim for one at a time is fine of course)

Primitive Rageddy Ann doll (An example is in my wists)

Handwarmers like the ones offered at Hot Topic. Victorian Goth ones would be perfect.

Crazy Quilted Purse
Victorian capelet.  At least waist length please email for length.
Regency or Victorian era Reticule
Petticoat either knee or ankle length !!  (Im 5'5 email for length) (recieved one from farmgirljane and would love more!!)

Slat bonnet or corded can provide links if needed.  Any pattern should do as they are all basically the same result.

Victorian slipper.  This pattern is from 1864
http://www.victoriana.com/VictorianShoes/victorianslipperpattern.html
 
Bars of handmade soap (the kind that is made from lye).  I have always wanted to try it!!  Lavender, oatmeal, goats milk, citrus are great however any scents are welcome!!  Or soap supplies as I would love to learn how to make my own.

I need a shelf for above my bathroom toilet!!  I just moved to a new home and need to decorate my own bathroom (living with 4 boys here I need my girly space lol)  My space from wall to wall is 26" (I can hit each side of the wall while sitting  )  It can be painted, stenciled, decoupaged!!  If painted or stenciled the colors I would like is rose, white, mustard or country blue (I have a piece of metal artwork directly above it and these are the colors in it).  I just ask that it have a victorian flare (especially if decoupaged please) to it!!  Other then that surprise me!!

He is a fan of Bruce Lee and any DVD (he has VHS) movies or any craft with him inspired would be wonderful!!  Or perhaps a stenciled t-shirt of Bruce Lee.  He would be thrilled to recieve something just for him (It also continues him to encourage me to swap.  Ya know totally his idea   )

ABOUT ME:
I am Marie and I live in Chicago, USA.
Some of you already know but I recently lost my husband last month after a battle with leukemia. My life is a little upside down right now.
My favorite colors are soft pinks, blues, browns, yellows, reds, greens  and black. I don’t really like orange. I am learning how to quilt. I also knit so anything related to that is a hit with me.
I have a thing for owls, I just got an owl tattoo for my husband’s birthday.
I am in need of things to help me organize my space (baskets, trays and what not).
I like all colors but orange, I usually prefers solids but I also like florals, dots and stripes and tone-on-tone.

I claim poerava for a basket and if it doesn't work out (because I have never made one before) a surprise from her wist.

This is my second claim of three allowed, zero sent, zero received.

A little bit about me: I am a 27 year old woman, wife, mother, daughter, sister, student, and special educator.  Family plays a large part in my life as does the outdoors. I live in Maine and we hike, bike, canoe/kayak, geocache, snowshoe, camp, walk, and do just about anything except for organized sports if it takes place outdoors.  I also like to read, play with my kids, host family dinners/events, and (of course) craft.  My favorite crafts are sewing (clothing for my children, quilts, bags/purses), scrapbooking (although I have taken a brief break from it for right now), crocheting, and embroidering.  I am new to spinning and have been working with a drop spindle; I am saving my money to get a wheel and am building up a fiber stash (as I am not using it as quickly as I am building it  Wink ).

Crafts:
Toddler Bonnet http://madebypetchy.blogspot.com/2008/06/free-pattern-toddler-hatbonnet.html for either my two year old (red and/or black or with Thomas fabrics) or my four year old (purple, black, pink or pretty much any color out there).  We would like the lining to be flannel or fleece or minkee as it gets a wee bit cold up here.

Some wrapples for our lunches--pears would be nice as well (pearples?) http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14455093

I never thought I would be saying this (as our middle child was toilet trained at just over a year and our oldest came to us at 4) but cloth diapers to fit a two year old (30 pounds, currently is in a size 4/5 diaper as he outgrew all but a couple pairs of training pants).  Our two year old just isn't interested in toilet training.

Some fingerless mitts for me in supersoft yarn that isn't aryclic.  Blues, greens, browns, or grays would be great. claimed, thanks poerava!

A super hero cape like this http://pukingpastilles.com/?p=57 for either my two or four year old.  Any color would be great.

Pinafores in sizes 5/5t/6 in fun prints preferably blue/brown/pink colors but the middle child is fairly easy going (example on wist).

Felt food veggies or sets (no pizza as we have a fabulous set and no meat cause that really isn’t part of our meals but perhaps breakfast or sandwhich)

This hat http://www.rheatheylia.com/index.php?page=patterns&id=10 in blues, greens, grays, or browns.  I have a largish head/a bit of hair so it should be done on the larger size.

The loop de loop scarf http://sarah-london.blogspot.com/2008/07/here-we-go-loopy-lou.html


Anything from/inspired by my wist: http://www.wists.com/girlosun_9 and there are a lot of ideas here, please feel free to craft something you would like to craft!

Pendant or pendants such as http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10371924, or this http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13217285, this http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13888420, or this http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11823943  I especially love the robot but I love them all

Handspun-->many examples on my wist one of my biggest wishes

Gocco Cards with envelopes.  I will be giving them in gratitude wraps as gifts (like on the Soule Mama blog).  Deer, owls, trees, acorns, and/or pretty much anything nature inspired.

This neckalce http://www.beadingdaily.com/blogs/projects/archive/2008/08/01/cerulean-falls.aspx  love the colors and design

And these are both beyond huge but a person can wish Smiley this dollhouse http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2008/08/fabric_dollhouse_tutorial.html?CMP=OTC-5JF307375954 and this spaceship http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=66029 are both looked at by me frequently.  Even better would be the patterns modified used as inspiration for making a fold up train or a hollow train with figures to go inside.

Supplies:

Diamond Glaze One of my biggest supply wishes

This kit is 16" friendship doll kit.  A boy kit, sandy hair, light skin, blue eyes My other biggest suppy wish

Fiber (batts or roving) for spinning . . . lapoli really set me up in the iyp swap and now I just want more!  I'll be getting a wheel soon so I'll be also be using a bit more fiber Smiley  Examples of colors I like are on my wist but I am pretty open to any colors (as I crochet for a large variety of people)

Bend the Rules Sewing by Amy Karol (gently used is fabulous)

Linen→Used or Thrifted pretty much any color

Anything from/inspired by my wist:
