LikeiceiscoldSentReceivedSent & ReceivedLatefeedback givenI'm obsessed with the Little House on the Prairie books, and pioneer-ish stuff. Are you too?
Details of swap:
Swap includes themes:Pioneers
Little House on the Prairie - LHOTP Crafts
Holly Hobbie
Oregon Trail
Other Pioneer-ish related literature, tv, etc. Just let me know what it is!
This is a very open swap as far as the topic goes! You can craft pioneer-era crafts, crafts that are just themed to go with your partner's interests (yes, you can iron-on Melissa Gilbert's face to a t-shirt), or whatever you think of, inspired by the theme and your partner's questionnaire. Please send something of the quality you would like to receive.
Materials: Because Pioneers had to be resourceful, please do not spend more than $10 on new supplies for this swap, instead, drawing on your stash to make things if possible.
This is a point-based swap. Please send your partner 5 points worth of items.Small Item = 1 point
Med Item = 2 Points
Large Item = 3 PointsFor new swappers there might be a bit of a confusion as to what is a large, medium, and small item, so here's a handy guide:
Small = By time, 2 or less hours of crafting. By $$$, Retail value of $10 or less. By size, Earrings, stickers, wallets, pouches, bookmarks…
Medium = By time, 2 or more hours of crafting. By $$$, Retail value of $10-$30. By size, one single necklace or bracelet, a scarf…
Large = By time, 3 or more hours of crafting. By $$$, Retail value of $30 or more. By size, A shawl, a shirt, a skirt, a set of jewelry with four to five items, a purse…
This is not totally set in stone, but is a rough estimate of sizes described by time it takes to make package, by physical size and by cost.
The Rules*Please post at least once a week in the thread so everyone knows that we are all still working steadily towards completion of our projects. I will be keeping track on my spreadsheets - simply post a note in the thread to let us know you are still working and progressing towards completion of your items!
*If your partner is within the US, you MUST get a DC and pm it to the organizer and your partner.
*The budget for this swap is $10 or less spent on NEW supplies. You can use as much of your stash up as you want to craft your items.
*Please photograph (or scan) your sent items, or arrange with your partner if you are unable to do so. Providing photos is a very important part of the swapping process! A gallery will be opened when the first swap package is sent.
*Extras: are fine, just check with your partner.
*OPTIONAL: change your avatar to reflect the theme of this swap, just for fun.
Tips:Be aware of the comments section on wists (if you check them), someone might add something and you go to make it, but didn’t notice in their comments that they would only want that item in a different color.
