ETA: Can I have December in the embellishment swap please? Thanks! I've dithered and dithered 9so much I missed it the first time round) but I think I can just about manage to find the bits for December!
Aww shucks! Yes everything is ok. I don't want to go into the details because it would just create a drama bomb and I think these boards have had enough of those lately. But if you really wanna know just PM and I will tell you.
Can I just check with the embellishments group, does everyone celebrate Christmas or should I keep it more general "holiday" (red white green colours/metallics was what I had in mind)
We celebrate Christmas. So does Midplacedmidwester. I'm glad you asked this question, because I had that thought last night when I was thinking about what I would be for my christmas page.
I've finished my page kits! (I hope we fill the last places as I've made 12 ). Just need to get my supplies together and split up for the embellishment bit.
I had a brainwave last night and got all the spare buttons off blouses etc. out of my button box, took them out of the plastic bags they came in and put them back in loose - now I have loads of small ziplock bags for brads etc! As I found a button off a suit I bought in 1985 I think its a long-overdue job!
For years I've just put them, bag and all, into a box in my sewing chest. then I was reading an article about putting buttons on pages and I wondered if I had any special buttons I could use - when I saw all those tiny ziplocks it just clicked! I'd spent a lot of time wondering how to package up brads for this swap - as I've literally just started using them I don't have a system yet, but have them in tiny freezer boxes I used to use for baby food Its a pity we all have digital cameras as film cannisters would be great. I think next time I'm in Hobbycraft I might get another sewing thread box - or even check in my cupboard and move the threads form my "project" box to my "main" box, and free up the box.
Ok ladies,
I have closed the swap for now. We still have three open spots in the second page kit group. Does anyone want one of those spots? If not, we will have 9 ladies in that group.
I will send my mailing information later this week and start a recieved thread then also.
