[ifallthraindrops]

I claim leighi123 for a library tote and crochet food (sandwich and pizza)

Second claim, zero sent.

(Fyi, there are many easier things to do on a Blackberry than navigate Craftster. . )

I am 19 and live in Virginia Beach, Virginia until fall when I go back to Fredericksburg for my second year of college. My style is pretty haphazard--I never coordinate anything, so my decorating style is whatever I like, all cobbled together. I love bold prints and art deco and fun colors, but I'm not a fan of pink or orange. I love dark colors, like maroon and navy. I knit like a fiend (almost constantly) and also crochet, sew, and dabble in paper craft and jewelry-making. I really want to learn spinning, weaving, and soapmaking, just to add to my crafty repertoire. I have cats and a dog, but they all stay out of my crafting supplies, but I don't have any allergies. PM with any questions!

-   Beaded or poly clay stitch markers
-   Reusable sandwich wrap (you know, the oil cloth ones)

-   Lunch tote/bag (preferably insulated so things will stay cool, but there’s a fridge at work, so it’s not pressing)

Supplies

-   Roving/Top for spinning (combed or carded)
-   Spindles

[Lunanne]

First claim (0 sent, 0 received)

About me:
I'm 31 and I live in Canada with a cat and a gerbil (and my brother and his cat for the time being). I'm a vegetarian and I am allergic to wool and nickel. I like pretty much every color except for pastels. I'm a big geek and nerd and I like cutesy and kawaii stuff. Also anything made with recycled material is great. To find out more about me you can go to my swap info page.


My list:

Crafted items:

=> Earrings. I love any kinds of earrings, especially long and dangly ones. I also adore drop-shaped Peruvian thread earrings.

=> Cloth menstrual pads. I don't have any but I really want to try them. Anything is fine, from pantyliners to heavy duty ones. No metal closure please. A wetbag would be appreciated too.

=> Sun hat. Something colorful or in a fun print. I have a big head so I'll have to get you my head mesurement.

=> Reusable produce bags.

=> A magic yarn ball! Those seem like so much fun!

=> Homemade lip balm/gloss. Something fruity or sweet.

=> Cold process soaps. I'm addicted! Fruity or sweet smells.

=> Big-ish decorated wooden/cardboard letters that spell "rêve" (dream in french) to put on the wall at the head of my bed. My bedroom is beige and red with an asian theme so anything that will fit with that.

=> A decorated box with recipe cards. A few vegetarian recipe would be appreciated too!

=> A cute pouch for my MP3 player with a pocket for the button headphones. MP3 size: about 3in.X 1in.

=> Mobile. Something sparkly and colorful. I'd love it if it had some recycled materials in it.

=> Sewing machine accessories in a fun fabric: machine cover, bag for the pedal and/or thread catcher.

=> T-shirts. XL/XXL depending on the brand. I have some examples on my wists.

=> A themed package. A package full of any kind of goodies on a theme, I'd love that! Themes I'd like: cherry blossom, peacock, Hello Kitty, Harry Potter, sewing, Joss Whedon-verse (except Dollhouse, I haven't seen it yet), or any other theme you think I'd enjoy!

=> Anything to decorate my balcony. It's a good size but I only have a few plants and a table and chairs, it's rather boring. It's on the 3rd floor, there's trellis all around, but no post to hang anything. I'd love anything colorful, any theme at all, gnomes, fairies, animals, tropical... Anything really, just has to be fun.

=> Anything from or inspired by my wists. Surprise me!


Supplies:

=> A crochet kit. I'm just starting to crochet so a kit with an easy pattern and the yarn needed would be awesome.

=> Craft felt. Any colors, but please no wool felt.

=> "Licensed" fabric or bed sheets/pillowcases. Esp. Harry Potter, Sanrio (esp. Hello Kitty, Chococat and Keroppi), old Nintendo (esp. Yoshi), TMNT, Care Bears, Wizard of Oz. I haven't been able to find much here.

=> Plain white cotton like for the old flour/sugar sacs. They are perfect to make embroidered tea towels, but I can't find any anymore. I know this is a stretch but I've been looking for these for a long while! (I know Martha Stewart has some in her line, but it's not the same quality as the old flour bag cotton.)

=> 14 pt. Aïda cloth for cross-stitch. Any color.

=> Nylon/plastic earring hooks.

=> Beads: Any colors. No plastic, bone or ivory please. Some faves: Size 8 to 11 Czech or Japanese glass seed beads, Delica beads, lampwork beads, gemstone chips and beads, stone beads, ceramic beads and pretty and colorful larger glass beads.
 
=> 6pound-test crystal Fireline thread.

=> Crimp beads pliers. Used is fine.

=> Tiger tail jewelry thread in silver or black.

=> Ephemera for collages, cards and ATCs.

=> Freezer paper. I can't find it here.

Extras:

=> Harry Potter or Hello Kitty anything.

=> Anything bento related. I saw somewhere on here that they have bento style Hello Kitty boxes/containers at some dollar stores in the US. I'd love some of those! We don't have that here.

=> Chopsticks. I love chopsticks!

=> Stickers.

=> And if you happen to have a copy of the "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" book and you don't want it anymore, I'd gladly take it.

About Me
It's May so it's my birthday month!! I turned 32 (eep!) on May 16th!

Greetings everyone! I'm a 31 32 year old woman who lives in Florida (USA) with my guy and two cats. My favorite colors are jewel tones like amethyst purple, emerald green, ruby red, sapphire blue, turquoise, and amber. I like silver but not really gold. (Copper's ok too.) My favorite color combination is a deep teal blue and chocolate brown together. It makes me happy. I also love things that go along with my "PhoenixFire" theme like reds/oranges/yellows together. My favorite animals are cats, owls, penguins, bats and red foxes. I love to read, I enjoy photography and I love all things Disney!

ALLERGIES
I suffer from migraines so please NOTHING musk/amber/patchouli/dragon's blood or floral scented. Unless it smells like you can eat it, it will give me a migraine. I LOVE fruit and dessert scents greatly though. Also, please no bar soaps (skin is sensitive to glycerin) and nothing with artificial sweeteners like NutraSweet (aspartame) or Splenda (sucralose) as I'm allergic to both.

Crafts

Sewing

*big wish -- A purse in this kind of style. I LOVE, LOVE LOVE this bag. The mix of the cord and the cable...? LOVE. (Could use an existing sweater for the knit part as well if you don't knit. I think that'd work just fine as well.)

*new* *big wish -- A watermelon bag like this!

*big wish* -- A tote like this one. I love and covet everything about it from the colors, fabric to the pattern.

*big wish* -- A Slanket! (Snuggie) I almost bought an actual "snuggie" but the fabric was icky. (It was like thin felt.) I want soft, awesome microfiber fleece stuff, you know? Something long enough to cover my toes as well.

*big wish* -- A robe like this one. I wear a US size 4 and can send measurements if needed.)

*new* -- A cell cozy/wristlet like this. I love the colors and the shape/size of this one.

*new* -- A little zip wallet like this.

*new* -- Some Fabric buckets like this to store and tote around craft supplies.

*new* - A wallet. Something slim but with a lot of card slots and an id slot. Something in a aqua or robin's egg blue would be great to match my new purse. (Brown/aqua would be good too.)

 -- A migraine therapy kit like this. I have had migraines for more than 15 years and this kind of thing DOES help.

 -- A leaf embroidered wallet like this.

 -- A purse like the first one here or like this. I like the shape of both styles but it's really the look and colors of the fabric I'm really sold on. So something in similar colors/patterns would be great. Here are more I've wisted for inspiration.

Knitting

*big wish* -- This scarf in these type of earthy, natural colors. (If it were in a mix of teal blue and chocolate brown that would work too.) I think this is one of the most perfect things ever. I don't really need scarves as a rule because I live in Florida, but I'd find reasons to wear one like this!

 -- Hand knit socks. Something warm and soft (no wool please because it itches me) I've got small feet so like a 6.5 size foot or girl's sized large socks for reference. (HUGE bonus if it's argyle pattern. I don't know why but I love argyle.)

Other

*new* -- A gem tree like this (or really, like any of the ones she makes because they're all lovely!)

*new* -- A gem tree in a glass ball in emerald and silver like this[/b]. Emerald is my birthstone.

  -- Something stained glass - sun catcher, glass mosaic item, etc. I just love stained glass and wouldn't even know where to begin making it myself.

 -- Something ceramic/pottery or vase or a bowl or a tea mug or whatever. Again, a skill I don't have but really love. (A couple things I've wisted for inspiration.)

 -- Anything with a phoenix on it. I LOVE the phoenix and there's not nearly enough phoenix-related things in the world or my life. You can check out my wisted phoenix items here as inspiration.

 -- A leather tree ipod touch case like this. It's SO pretty. (I love the brown leather.)

 -- A cool fitted tee or fitted tank top like these. I love the colors of these examples. I wear a US size 4 or typically a size small or medium. I pretty much live in baby doll/fitted tees. Some inspiration:
 - dandelion on brown with blue
 - floral tank in robin's egg blue
 - birds - as fitted tee though
 - love the two-tone look of this one
 - OMG - It's a BAT!!!

 -- Something glass work like a vase or something. Blown or torch or whatever. A cool medium I don't know how to work with at all. This is really pretty for example.

 -- Things for my apartment in Teal Blue and Chocolate Brown. I love these colors together. And I'd love something in them for the home. A quilt or throw; art; kitchen accessories; pillows; curtains, etc., etc.

 -- Disney stuff. Be it characters (like Mickey, Figment, Belle, Mike & Sulley, etc.) or movies (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Monster's Inc., Lady and the Tramp, etc.) or the parks (I live near WDW but I've never been to Disneyland), or historical stuff (books on Walt or the making of the parks, etc.), or things I can use/take to/wear about any of the above, I LOVE DISNEY. So by all means, get creative!

 -- Something (surprise me!) incorporating owls, penguins, bats, cats or red foxes. They're my favorite animals. Note: At this point, I probably have enough owl stuffies/amis so something besides that please.

 -- Fused glass or glass (microscope) slide pendants you think I'd like. (Here are some wisted inspiration items as examples.)

 -- A ribbon organizer. Doesn't have to be this fabric. It's more the idea and the style of storage that I like here. Chocolate/Teal color combo would be great as would fun/cute fabric or prints (like owls or something.)

 -- Lavender Linen Spray - A couple notes. I have an organic one I use now but it's almost gone. I spray it on my pillow before bed to help me sleep. I'm having a problem finding another one that's suitable. Most seem to have things like musks or ambers in them - that stuff gives me near instant migraines. The one I have is an aloe and lavender mix. That's it. It's delicate and light and doesn't have other scents in there to bother my hyper, hyper sensitive sense of smell. I'd love to find more. The right kinda of soft, gentle lavender scent is the ONLY exception to my "smells like food only" scents rule. Thanks!

 -- Surprise me! Look at my wists or my amazon wishlist, or the colors I like and see what you can make that you think I'd like.

Craft Supplies
 
*new* -- Rubber stamp pads and/or rubber stamp markers. I've gotten a pretty cool collection of stamps but I have no ink pads for them!

 -- Starter resin kit/supplies (resin, molds, etc.)

 -- Starter rubber stamp carving stuff. (Maybe a kit or items like tools, the rubber to carve into, how-to/instructions, etc.)

 -- Gemstones and gemstone beads. In every shape, size and color. Donuts, cabs, chips - anything! I LOVE working with gemstones and I can never, ever have enough.

 -- Lampwork beads.

 -- Beading supplies. I create jewelry so I'm always looking for unique and interesting pendants, charms, gemstone beads, large focal beads and such. Also, I love Swarovski crystal, unique clasps or toggles, and jewelry wire in 16 gauge and 24 gauge in any color. Gemstone chips are awesome as well since I make Tree of Life pendants with them.

Extras
-- Tea! Especially fruity ones.

 -- Chocolate! (white, milk or dark) No coconut please.

 -- Candies! (whatever neat little treats you enjoy, send 'em my way. I love candy)

 -- Sewing magazines. (especially things geared towards newbies)

 -- Beading magazines (esp ones with projects/tutorials)


Thanks in advance to whomever picks me!

I claim phoenixfiredesigns  for a felted watermelon bag! I just bought supplies to make two of these, so it's perfect that you wished for this!
Anywho, this is my third claim, 0 sent (sending 2 on Tues.), 1 received.

My name is Janelle and I'm in Illinois, USA. I'm a stay-at-home mommy to two wonderful children. Izak is three, and Lailah was born this January. I am a lover of all crafts, so I'm super easy to please. My very favorite colors are chartreuse, gray, chocolate brown, deep aqua and green. I am allergic to cats, but crafts from homes that have a cat don't seem to really bother me. I'm not allergic to smoke, but I would rather things didn't smell of it. I adore octopi, keys, carrots, trees and umbrellas. Anything with any of those themes would be great. Also, as I wrote below, I don't live near any good craft stores (or even a little sewing shop),  so an all-supply package would be wonderful. I'm always open to trying out new things, so feel free to destash on me if you wish. Thanks in advance for claiming me.
