We're all buzing with creativity! I love it!

[Shannin]

I've decided on a small and a medium so far... once I've finished them I'll figure out what I'll make next.

just checking in, inbetween crafting... and, you know, eating and doing things essential to survival LOL

[legatostroke]

I have two things finished which are small in size but take forever to do. One is something I never tried before and I know it doesn't match the pattern I used but I think he's still pretty cute. I have a third thing finished but for a coat of varnish I will get to shortly. Annd...one more thing/set of things that I haven't started yet.

aargh!  I'm still trying to decide on the big one.  By the book or think outside the box?

[World.Of.Hoard-Craft]

I have a question, when it gives examples of a large, it says 3+ hours, $30 etc. is that an either or? For example, if a project takes (exaggeration ahead LOL) 10 hours but would retail for $1, is it a large or a small? I ask because  mostly papercraft, and paper isn't too expensive,or a knitter might use a small amount of yarn but tons of time to make something? Still crafting full-steam ahead, but this is my first swap and want to know the points system in and out before I even look for a shipping box or finish crafting

I think I have everything pretty much sorted out! I just hope my craft store has everything I need (it's not very good ). Hope everyone else is going well too

Good question!  (Don't apologize for questions, this is what first swaps are for!)  That is definitely an either/or!  The three guidelines you can use to decide whether your craft is a small/med/large are time, size, and cost.  You can pick which one to work with!  I generally work with physical size and time input most, unless it's the rare occasion I make something pretty expensive.  For example, if I sewed a sweatshirt, I could decide by size (large,) time (considering the speed I sew at, medium or large,) or cost (probably a small or medium, depending on fabrics.)  I would probably say it was a large for size, but it's really a subjective thing.  It depends on what you feel most accurately describes your craft!

... Does that help at all?

hello everyone, hope you're all having as much fun crafting as i am

[javede]

I know what I want to make, but I cannot decide which materials to use and how it should exactly look. Part of the problem is that I do not have the right color of materials in my stash for any of the items I plan and do not have the time untill atleast friday to get to the craft store...
