Would anybody be interested in a crafty swap?

[ThePigOfHappiness]

I'm thinking of something similar to a square exchange, but with any crafts? Like Xmas decs or jewellery or smellies or toys? I think it'd be lovely to send things out and in turn receive something lovely.

I posted mine over a week ago, I hope it's got there . It went from England to ROI - I have no idea how long it takes!

It's here HorsesDogsNails! It is the most beautiful honeysuckle scented candle in a vintage French coffee cup
I love it, thank you so much.
My kids are amazed that you've made it, and so thrilled with all the bubble wrap
Now the swaps are arriving I'm even happier with the idea, and think we should do a spring one too if people are up for it?

nothing here yet, but I'm glad my butterflies landed :)

could we have a photo thread of the received crafts?

Here is the thread for all the pictures :)

Phew, I'm so glad it got to you and I'm so glad you love it! The Arcopal cups are gorgeous.....

The swap was a fab idea!

I will add photos of my two lovely items, when I have a moment or two to dig out the camera.

I got mine today! A gorgeous chunky infinity scarf (with a flower) and matching hand-warmers! They're lovely and warm and the colour goes perfectly with my winter coat (I actually opened the package at the sorting office and put them on straight away ). Thank you very much to the person that made them for me! Will try to get a photo onto the picture thread.

I am a bit worried that nobody's posted about receiving the item that I sent - I posted it nearly 2 weeks ago now

That's from me Kristy

I'm so glad you like them. Thank you and thanks to Pig for the original idea and Angels for sorting out the logistics.

Aha - I'll make sure you get due credit when I post the photo. No, thank you - (and Pig and Angels too!) Would love for this to become a yearly thing!

I think should not only be yearly but spring, summer and Christmas. Still to receive my crafty thing.. But loved doing it and shows the very special gift of making.. Also i bet very few of us ever receive handcrafted rather give so this is our time to receive,??

Yes focuson, that's exactly what k was thinking!
Anyone get anything else lovely to report?!

nothing to report here!

I received a beautiful delicate silver bracelet with tiny red and green beads, or at least I think I did for about five mins as it has been nicked by dd !

Ah well

:( still waiting...

Gatekeeper - I made that! Glad you liked it - hope your DD at least lets you borrow it!

Yay more crafty swaps
Make sure and post the pics on out pic thread so we can all see the loveliness

nobody has mentioned mine yet and I posted it two weeks ago

Me too gatekeeper. Perhaps postal services are very busy at this time of year?

I didn't open mine as I was waiting for Xmas. But as everyone else has, I have now.

I got a lovely crochet placemat and coasters. They're lovely.

Hello, I've name changed for this but just wanted to say HorsesDogsNails really pleased you like your jewellery. And I received mine, some fab patchwork (great inspiration for a project I'm starting!), and a knitted stocking which DDs have put on the tree today (and DD2 loved) Oh and I know it's still November, but DD2 was a bit poorly so we were housebound today and they needed cheering up

Hi Helen the patchwork and stocking was mine...glad its arrived

ooh I hope you all do this again and I can join. I am enjoying the photo thread as well and seeing all your beautiful creations.

still waiting for mine - getting worried it has been lost in post but loving seeing pictures of all the lovely creations!

I posted a month ago today... Really thinking it has got lost. I might talk to angels to see who is still missing things etc.
I would definitely like to do another swap in the new year. I really enjoy waiting for a surprise in the post like a kid
