There ain't nothing like combining postage. 

I claim Kristen81 for a pair of bloomers. 

I am in Quebec, Canada. This is my second wish.
---------------------------------


1. Knitted socks. I would absolutely LOVE a pair of these: http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer04/PATTlolita.html (Black would be fabulous, although dark brown could work too.) or http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter04/PATTverytallsocks.html (Black/grey/white/burgundy or a brighter color scheme would be awesome)

2. Crocheted shrug or capelet: http://www.berroco.com/exclusives/maple/maple.html or http://www.berroco.com/exclusives/beatrice/beatrice.html
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=83782.msg789517#msg789517

3. Ribbon scarf. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=24510.0

4. Learn to cast resin. With beginner supplies and tips about which products to get (please). Thank you kittykill - I'm excited to try this! 

5. Learn to knit.

6. Petticoat. With enthusiastic poof - I made one, but it's rather ineffective (*sniff) http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=25389.0

7. Messenger bag. Mine has now been loved too much and is falling apart. I bring it to church and to music practices. I would like the top to zip up. It doesn't need too many pockets, one zippered one inside and a large non zipper one on the inside would be good.

8. A shnazzy tote bag to bring my music books to voice lessons in. It should be the shape and size to fit a couple of big books (about binder size) in. An inner zipper pocket would be muchly useful in it too.

9. Hair stuff. Head bands, smaller clips, or bigger clips to put my hair half up with would be fab. I just dyed my hair and want to decorate it. It's now a copper light brown/dark blonde.  Wooot! Thank you urvi!!

10. Crochet belt. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=82511.0

11. Corset pattern.

12. Reconned shoes. My feet are size 8.5 - 9.

13. A hanging earring organizer. I like the idea of the metal screening used in the one made for Bente by littlest ninja here: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=66625.300

** I can add more if I stall the swap **

About me: I’m an 18 year old student of the sciences in Quebec, Canada. My tastes are quite varied, but I’ll try to categorize them. I like gothic (egl and classic), Victorian, slight punk influences (not skulls, but chains can be nice), boho, girly, classy, and vintage. I love tweed, herringbone, houndstooth, plaid, and lace. Colorwise, I like a lot of dark, rich colors, but also delve into the brighter side of life sometime too. In general, as long as its not really tacky looking, I’m probably going to like it.

[Kiwimonkey]

I claim Hertrigger for a giraffe stuffy!

I'm in Alabama, USA.

My list is really long.  Hopefully that'll give everyone more to choose from.  Everytime I see something I want, I jsut add it on. Some of the items are larger item, which I don't really expect to get, but it is a "WISH LIST" after all.

1) a scarf like this one:  http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=51018.0 
The pattern is here: http://vickidesigns.homestead.com/piano.html

2) red and white striped sweatshirt material (or fleece) about 1 yard (+/- some)

3)A Sock monkey. I have a great pattern myself, but I've never sat down and done it.

4) any sort of monkey or monkey-themed thing.

5) STICKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!  (I love me some stickers!)

6) any kind of fun, funky, retro, mod, bright fabric (don't really care how much, I'll find something to do with it!)

6) Sublime Stitching Patterns!! I've just gotten into embroidery and cross-stitch, adn these thing are the BEST!

7) Ribbon!  I LOVE ME SOME RIBBON!  (at least one foot(+/-) sections please) I've already gotten lots ribbons from several different people, but I can never have too much ribbon!

8 ) I REALLY REALLY REALLY want some felted beads. (http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=21330.0 )  maybe a long necklace.  Oh, or maybe a belt. Or some earings, that'd be cool!  Or.... Oh I don't know, the posibilities are ENDLESS! Littlest Ninja already sent me one pair of earrings, but I'd love some more or something else out of felted beads.

9) a "bowl-full" (meaning two, three. or more) cool fruits and veggies.  My grandmother had a set of the plastic ones setting in a BEAUTIFUL bowl on her dining room table.  I've since inheirited(sp?) that lovely bowl (apparently I was the only one who saw it's beauty) and I'd love to honor her memory with some fruits and veggies in it.  Only I'd like cooler ones than those yucky plastic ones!

10) anything superhero related!  I love superhero logos.  (Superman, Green Lantern, Batman, Captain America, Wonder Woman etc.)  Seriously Anything superhero related, any superhero, would make me a very happy girl!

11) a pair of bicep length gloves.  (PM me for more details)

12) a pair of fingerless gloves, but with a mitten cover.  OR maybe with removable fingers.... hmm, I wonder if that's possible.....

13) A record bowl.   Especially if someone has a colored record they'd like to use!  I'd make one myself, but #1 my roomie is a bit paranoid about using the over for anything other than food and #2 our oven sucks!

14) These earrings are TOTALLY awesome!  http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=55436.msg619120#msg619120   I'd love a pair.  Pick a color, ANY color! 

15) If someone made me this scarf, I'd never take it off and I'd love 'em FOREVER! http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=68023.0

16) Jumping on the band wagon: a panta.  Black, or maybe burgandy.  Or a deep plum/violet/purple. Or Navy.  Really any darker, rich, jewel-ish tone.

17) inspired by aschnebly I'd love some kind of knit or crochet houseplant.  My roomie and I are HORRIBLE at keeping the real thing alive, but the place needs some green!

18) a "five o'clock somewhere" clock.  There's on in the Wine swap gallery


About me:
I'm a 21-year-old college student, studying Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, with a minor in Computer Science, web-concentration.  I spend too much of my time either in the library or in a lab. I recently (last weekend) broke-up with my boyfriend of three-and half years, so I've been spending lots more time with my crafts lately.  I live with my roomie and a one-eyed sweetheart of a cat, Boots. And now, because this is beginning to sound too much like a personal ad, I'll get onto the more crafty specifics.
Generally my favorite colors are jewel-tones, purple, teal etc.  I also really like neon-colors, hot pink, lime, electric blue etc.  I don't care for dark green, olive and ESPECIALLY NOT ORANGE! (hehe...just had to get that across, although using orange as a slight accent is okay, if it makes the piece seem more "finished")  Honestly I just like color, any color!! 
I'm classify my style as preppy-ish, modern, with a hippie twist. Whatever that means   
I really like Monkeys, elephants and ducks.  Rainbows have always been "my symbol"  I really like Superman and Supergirl. Dr Pepper is my weakness.  Hawaiian Punch is the best non-carbonated and non-alcoholic beverage (and the mascot's cute too). I'm a HUGE Alabama Fan (Roll Tide!  )
As far as crafts go, I like most anything.  I know that doesn't really help you much, but whatever you craft, I'm sure I'll love!
If you need to know something else, or anything specific just PM me!


You're welcome to cruise my posts to see what I like etc.  If you want I'll give you the links to my livejournal, and my photobucket account, although I doubt you'll find much there.

[craft_t_chic]

I claim your rubber stamps, noodle princess! (plus a lil something extra!)This is my second wish...I'm in Ohio.

Okay, here goes...I'm sure I'll add more but here's a short list o get started...

1. Anything Wonder Woman related. I LOVE her! Something functional would be best so I have reason to show it off at work...we're this weird bunch that think we're the Justice League. Yeah, seriously...

2. That being said, something Batman for the boy. Again, something functional so he can show it off at work. We're so odd. He also just got a cubical too, so he'd be super psyched if it was something for the cube! I don't think I like him much...don't pick this wish right now!

3. A wallet...funky fabrics...small enough to fit in my pocket if necessary. I'd love something pink and green to match my purse! I love the one I have, but my mom picked it out and it's kinda old lady fabrics...I could show you a pic of it, if necessary...a zipper for coins would be fab, but not necessary! Thanks so much, knottydottie!!!

4. Something with an okapi on it. Something stencilled, a small stuffy...anything!!!(if you don't know what an okapi is, google it!)

5. paint me something. I want your art on my walls. You can PM me with colors and such, but in all honestly, the funkier, the better. ( i got this wish granted, but who can resist more art? I'm gonna put it up again anyhow!) I LOVE this guy( http://www.scottradke.com/Murals.htm ) and thanks to crafty_dame, I now love this guy's stuff too!  http://www.misterreusch.com/ More so the pin-up kinda stuff, but if you did a colorful cartoon-y painting of my cat, I would find that delightfully hysterical!

6. Something with a body positive image or saying on it. Again, something functional. Lately everyone I work with is on a diet kick and it' really weighing (no pun intended) on the little girls I work with. It's be nice for them all to see someone who is happy with themselves no matter the size.

7. A slide necklace. Something sarcastic and vintage-y or a stamp. OMG! A miss Piggy stamp would be great! (I could even send you one!) Thanks, SonjaBoo!!!

8. http://www.etsy.com/view_item.php?listing_id=66500  I soooo love this! I would love you forever if you made me something like this!!!

9. I'm in love with the mixed paper journals I see around here!

10. A needle roll for my knitting needles. I recently received some new needles, and I don't want to lose all the ones I have! I finally have a use for a needle roll!!! (Any funky fabrics would be fantastic!!!)

11. Something to get me excited about my sewing machine. It could be fabrics, simple instructions, zippers...anything! I just got Betty (like Master Pain in Kung Pow!) for Christmas and I'm still a little nervous around him. I really would like to WANT to use him a little more.

12. A reconned T-shirt. Take notice of the recons on the curvaceous craftster board...I'm a big girl. I wear a 2xl, so nothing TOO fitted. However, shoulders out are FAB!

13. Jewelry...I'm always good for jewelry! PM me for specifics!

A little about me, I love polka dots and circles and stars and buttons(both 1" buttons and the kind you sew on!)! I'm in love with Kogepan...he adorable!!! Pink and green is my fave color combo. I do like black too...and brown...just not blue or purple, really. I (obviously) like Wonder Woman, okapis, Hello Kitty...lots of other things...PM me for questions or craftster stalk me...you'll find tons of info because I talk way too much!!! I enjoy lots of crafts...I'm always trying something new! I knit (beginner!!!), enjoy all kinds of paper crafts, learning to sew, paint occasionally, make jewelry...honest, a bit of everything!!!

This is all I can think of right now, but I'm SURE I'll come up with more, if need be!

[SonjaBoo]

I claim craft_t_chic and will make her a Miss Piggy slide necklace! 

This is my second wish-- I am in Massachusetts. 

- I could seriously use a knitting needle/crochet hook roll -- mine are all over the place!  I really love some of the corderoy ones that I have seen made-- any color would be fine by me.  (bright and funky is always appreciated)

- Anything felted!  Soap, beads, a figurine, bag-- anything you can make.  I really love all of the felting things I have seen on craftster!

- A spring pocketbook/clutch or pouch.  I'd love something to get me out of my winter doldrums!

- Armwarmers/fingerless gloves.  The office I work in is often kept at meat-freezer temperatures-- I'm cold! 

- A panta -- I'm pretty sure I'm the only person on craftster who is panta-less   Thank you knottydottie! 
- A handmade journal/photo album

- Shrinky dink paper!  I can't seem to find it anywhere!  (thus I am also shrinky-dink-less...)   Thank you noodleprincess!


- A certain black furball (or fur sphere, to be politically correct) that I live with (the real Sonja!) has requested that if anyone would like to make her catnip toys or any kitty accessories, she would purr endlessly and would love you forever!  She might even do her little dance of joy! 

- Address labels -- these would make life so much easier

- A surprise!
 
- I would absolutely love it if you could make an amigurumi kiwi bird! 

A little about moi~
  I am 27, married (almost a year now!) and proud mother of my cat, Sonja.  (mild obsession, I realize.)  I love crafting, art, writing, reading, and anything creative.  My favorite color is red, but I love purples, greens, blues, oranges-- any bright color, really.  I do stained glass work in my free time. 

Thanks so much for considering crafting for me!

[knottydottie]

I claim SonjaBoo's panta!  (i'll pm you about color options and head size)

me:
i am 30, married, no kids, an editorial photographer, and artsy nut.  i love all things homemade and all things with an indie, kitschy, underground vibe.  i'm not fond of pink, purple or pastels or anything too girlie or punk/goth.  lately i really like japanese art and crafts, and cherry blossom motifs.  also, birds, trees, typewriters, maps, and vintage designs.  I tend towards a minimalist style, i wear lots of black, and add color and sauciness (is that a word?) with accessories.  feel free to PM me with questions!

[BlooCanoe]

I pick knottydottie! Cuff if I can make it (will pm her for a consultation  ) or fingerless gloves if I can't.

I live in Canada. This is my first wish in this swap.

-the SnB book (a used copy is fine obviously!) if anyone has an extra one... seems like there are some fun patterns in there.

I like jewel tones, colours with blue undertones (i.e. love blue, purple, reds, greens, pink), but not yellow undertones (i.e. don't care for orange, yellow etc.). A little about me... I like canoeing, camping, reading, swimming, knitting... umm... jazz, red wine... er... eating chocolate, lying around on the couch.... .  Also, I don't have a dig camera, so if you do please take pics before you send so that your lovely things can be shared in the gallery!

Thanks craftsters, to whoever picks me!!
