Craft swap take two

58 replies

Hi,
I know lots of us participated in the craft swap before Christmas. If anyone would be interested in doing another let me know :)
For anyone who wasn't involved last time, we set a limit of a £10 value on a craft item that you make and you send it anonymously to another mumsnetter. In return someone sends you something and we all get a little something lovely :)
Do let me know, it was great last time around

I had a PM fro Pig. I am in but I would like to know if the person I sent to receives it. Whether before xmas they just didn't have time to post and say it arrived or if it just never showed up.

Are we supposed to get a PM?

roguepixie · 10/04/2014 10:46

Also involved last year. Received a PM from Pig - am happy to participate again this year.

I did receive something but had no idea who to thank as person had written their RL name in card instead of MN name, and I wasn't sure they would like to be revealed. I did send an item out but have no idea if it got there as never heard anything - didn't want thanks, iyswim, just wanted to know it got there.

Anyway, not to worry you all but it's only 258 days til Christmas Grin

Can I get a pm please Pig? On mobile so can't pm you. Can do crochet and sewing.

BiscuitCrumb · 11/04/2014 09:34

Is it six weeks from now because I haven't ordered supplies yet?! Or six weeks when you get all the numbers?

PookBob · 11/04/2014 20:18

Can I join in? Would love to send a crafty gift to someone :)

I now know what I'm going to do. Just need to get in the supplies. Rather excited now, didn't do this last time, so it's all new to me.

Bumping for you. I've got my supplies now. Hope whoever gets mine likes it... Cross stitch is a bit of an acquired taste.

Ok am going to fine tune the list today and post it here. When I put it up, can people pm who they are sending to for details?
If you don't hear back by tues (allowing for long weekend) pm me?

OP posts:
PookBob · 03/05/2014 11:40

I'm about half way through :)

BiscuitCrumb · 03/05/2014 16:21

I've almost finished mine... :)

whatdoesittake48 · 08/05/2014 07:43

just making it clear...PUT ME ON THE LIST!!! i think I have said it before, but it bears repeating. My crochet hoard is already groaning, so plenty to give away!

PookBob · 21/05/2014 22:41

Has the crafty swap faded away to nothing?

Is anyone still about?
