Hi girls –
I was thinking how diverse all of our talents are… Some of us sew, some knit, some weave, some tat; some embroider or do crewel work; some do macrame; some are talented artists who draw or paint; others love to work with metal or mixed media; some love to do papercrafting or create fabulous items out of recycled items; some like to work with wood or sculpture or make homemade paper; some make candles or soaps or lotions. These are only some of the wonderful handicrafts we all do, of course, but you get the idea. Wouldn’t it be fun to do a swap featuring our personal gifts and talents?
In this swap, YOU get to choose what you would like to send your partner! It would be something special you create especially for her, only YOU get to choose the medium and the project – it’s all up to YOU! For example, if your talent is making punch needle rugs, you could create a little pillow or wall hanging for your partner. If you knit, you would create a special knit item. If you make potpourri, you could make lovely sachets… It’s completely up to you what you send – you get to “Feature What You Do!”
I’m starting the sign-ups early, so that those of you whose handicrafts require extra time will have plenty of time to get started.
Sign ups will take place through April 1st. Please just let us know what your talent is (i.e. knitting). It will be fun to see what kinds of projects we can look forward to! But don't give away any secrets - the project itself should be a surprise for your partner!
Partners will be assigned April 3rd.
Projects should be mailed out by April 25th.
If you have any questions, please do ask!
Hugs –
Nini

Sign me up. Sounds like fun!
I primarily knit and embroider, so mine will likely be something along those lines.
Yay! Thanks!
