Description:

Calling you crafters!

This is for everyone regardless of what craft you do.

The idea behind this swap is to make a little gift/something from the craft you do and send to your partner. This is a great way to see with your own eyes what crafts others do.

So for example, if you stitch you may get a partner that card makes so you will get a hand made card(s) in the post! Or if you knit you may get a lovely cross stitched gift in the post!

Be kind - if you make small and quick items then please send at least two items. Send the kind of package that you would love to get and would rate a 5 heart for!!

Extras - If you wish but not compulsory, as long as the crafted item is sent then that is brilliant!

Exciting? I think so! I love crafting!

NEWBIES welcome as you have to start somewhere like I did a few weeks ago!

Members only with 4.8 rating or above - no recent unexplained 1's or 3 either.

If you do not fit the requirements you will be removed from the exchange.

Please NO flakers. I will angel if required (plus have the time) but I would prefer not too. I know all who sign up will be lovely and send wonderful crafted gifts to your partner. Any problems please let me know, always happy to help.

Happy crafting!

@slr85 Lovely to see you here :-)

@mbhp12 that's a shame! Receiving something different is what it is all about! I would have been delighted to have got a tatted piece!

RedRobinnj 05/ 9/2011 #

I received a couple of tatted items last year and just loved them. I can't tat so I was doubly impressed.

BeautifullyFrayed 05/11/2011 #

@mbhp12 That is a shame your partner didn't recognize art and labor combined! I wish I knew how to Tat!

katara 05/13/2011 #

I would LOVE a tatted piece!!

marci 05/13/2011 #

I had to google "tatted art" I had no idea what it was, but it looks awesome, and time consuming.

namabear 05/13/2011 #

I love the tatted art and would love to receive one!!!!! @mbhp12 looks like all here would love your tatted art maybe you should try this one give us all a second chance!!! <3

I am in the process of learning tatting and it is not easy and is very time consuming as well. It is also frustrating at times also. I would have loved to receive something tatted and would have been even more anxious to display it in a very proper place that it would deserve.

MrsRemington 05/14/2011 #

wow! I can not believe someone would love a Tatted piece of work. Tatting is the one craft I can not do, and would love to. I know it is time consuming and wonderful. How sad.

MrsRemington 05/14/2011 #

I meant to say would not love a tatted piece of work. I love tatting, I'm glad there are people who tatt, as I don't want it to become a lost craft/art form...please join and if we are partner...sent me tatting...please!

institches 05/14/2011 #

I love tatting too. My grandma tried to teach it to me when I was a child. I'm a lefty and just didn't get it. What I wouldn't give to have her here now to teach me. I didn't even get any of her tatted things when she passed. My aunt took everything and sold it. This is a great swap, I'm in.

northqueen 05/14/2011 #

I am new to this site, but think it is so organized and fun. I have a question though.....what is a flaker? I know that is is not good by the sounds of it lol

handysandy 05/14/2011 #

I'm in...I'll sew up something wonderful. I also would have loved to recieve a tatted piece. My Granny taught me when I was 5 yrs old. It really is a lost art.

PATHACKER 05/14/2011 #

a flaker is someone that signs up for a swap but doesn't fulfil it. they like receiving but forget to send...lol

bonbon 05/15/2011 #

Yes, I understand, I made a hat for someone in a cold climate-only got a 5 and no heart,also sent extra, Postage was high since it was overseas, I probably won`t join one again

bakerseve17 05/16/2011 #

very first swap :) so excited...and plz if i get confused let me know lol

melimar 05/16/2011 #

Awesome idea! I love it!

LavenderLizard 05/16/2011 #

I tat, too, mbhb12, and it would be terrible to have someone disappointed in my tatting! Sorry that happened to you, as I see tatting as a real treasure. I'm joining this one in the hopes that everyone is interested in experiencing different crafts and receiving a surprise. I know I love surprises made with love!

RadicalRecrafter 05/16/2011 #

I would love a tatted piece also! I have a necklace someone on Etsy made for me and it is one of my favourite pieces. I can see it took alot of work! I'm looking forward to swapping my crafts with someone.I think it will be fun!

slr85 05/17/2011 #

Canada Post may be striking on May 25th - swaps are ready to go, but don't want them stuck in transit - will mail as soon as I am sure they will go through. Please be patient - thanks

TC 05/28/2011 #

Whomever is partnered with Atclayton needs to know that she is only 12 years old.

Vallyncia 05/30/2011 #

Sent my parcel today...CP may be striking but not for a few days, so fingers crossed that it makes it over the border first!!!!

heavenscreations 05/31/2011 #

I got mine out last week...hopefully it misses this postal strike...I should know soon enough

DarianNox 06/ 5/2011 #

Hmm... other than rating, it there any way to tell if your package arrived ok? I'm not sure if my partner received her package or not.

slr85 06/ 7/2011 #

I would just like to thank the co-ordinator and both my sending and receiving partners for making one of my first swaps extra special. :)
