WLS Hobby swap

I'm going to get the ball rolling... I think I'll put down my newest hobby - cake/cookie/cupcake making. I'm trying to be all Martha Stewart like and build yummy and pretty pretty afternoon tea treats. So anything related to that would be super fab! I have an image in my mind of pink cupcakes with ballerina figurines on top, hee hee! mmmmm.....

My latest hobby is making felt creatures. I love different kinds of felt,thread,buttons and any embellishments you can think of. I also like stickers for my simple scrapbook pages.

WONDERFUL Swap idea! I love it! However, I have to take care of other things first. please please lets run this one again. Or maybe I can jump in before deadline! Love it!

woohoo my first WLS hehehe Thanks for the long swap date :) My latest hobby's oh that's hard. I'm always doing different stuff. I guess checking my profile would be the best or my flickr.

Aw come on WillowTree lol

As much as i would love to join this swap, I have to sit this one out. I will be in and out this summer and gone for most of the month of July. But this sounds like fun! I'll just have to look at the cool pictures!!

Hmmm. I have just started making softies. That's my new passion and I'm in need of embellishments, eyes funky fabric etc.

This is fun! I can not wait to go shopping for this one!

For me my hobbies are kayaking, horses, and reading

I thought about this today. Wow was it hard. I guess my biggest hobby is craft magazines. Lately trying to find things that the kids and I can all work on. They are enjoying rubber stamping, book marks and homemade post cards. That's all I can think about that is our latest thing. I hope this is the right kind of answer.

oh and stuffies lol

I'm going to sign up for now and decide a little closer to the time whether I actually have enough time and money.

My latest hobby is card making, so card stock, card making magazines, peel offs etc would be greatly appreciated.

I go in for surgery on the 5th lol but I still want to be in this! lol Sooooo I will be in for a week atleast. And than it has to be mailed but Aug. 31'st so I'm sure I'll have plenty of time. I am so very excited about this.
Oh i've been bustin my hump outback. Finished the fencing, cleanin up the yard etc. Building little block walls around the trees for seating. Planing on painting the block walls and maybe paint flower's or something on them. Any ideas would be wonderful. Oh I just thought, quilted patterns. Oh I'll put pictures on my flicker over the weekend so you can all see. hahaha I'm gonna be one tan fat chick in surgery lmao But I've lost 5lbs out therewoohoo! Hugs to all, I won't be around much.

I'm all about books: reading books, writing books, altering books, making books. So perhaps my partner could send me pens, fun papers and/or card stock, a board book for altering, instructions for making an unusual book structure... whatever book- or paper-related thing you come up with will be appreciated.

Dream hope what kind of books do you read? I have a bunch of the old victorian english types. I get them from a friend. I usually sell them on half.com but pulled them after the second surgery when I couldn't get out to do the sending. Those you have so many days to send when it's purchased. I forgot to turn it off and ended up mailing 2 late and heard poop for it even after I tried to explain.

Hi I am sorry but I have to drop out. On the way home from my daughters field trip tonight my van broke down. I also have a few other swaps I promised privately so since they are already promised I will have to bow out of the rest. When it rains it pours. Take Care and have fun with this. I have no clue what it's going to cost to fix the van wish I had an old car now, I could have fixed it myself.

I'm sorry but due to close family illness I have to drop :(

I like to make fabric postcards, so anything for this on a smaller scale, e.g., fabric, ribbon, lace, trim, buttons, embellishments, iron-ons, etc. would be great! I had someone send me some tiny crocheted flowers and medallions once that were very suitable for this. Small handmade fusibles would work too. These are just ideas in case you are stumped - anything small at all that you think would work for fabric PCs would be great! Thx!

I thought I would leave a few other ideas too to make it easier on my partner - if one doesn't work, hopefully another one will!

I also like making:

• greeting/note cards, swap tags, ATC tags, etc.

• pincushions

** pending my invitation to the wls group** i am a newbie to sewing and recently this hobby is taking up alot of my time so anything sewing related would be really appreciated... cute pins, rick rack, whatever (except buttons... i have TONS of buttons) and if thats too boring or easy, i also really really enjoy organic gardening.

I am starting to do some hand stamped cards. I also want to start doing some of the oh, so pretty, tags that I saw on a beautiful blog. I love to cook and bake.

Hi all! This looks like so much FUN!! Let's see...I really crafts that I want to do more often:

books - altered books or bookmaking

making postcards - would love to make fabric postcards, have just been making paper ones.

knitting socks - I haven't tried this but just learned to knit with double pointed needles, so would like to give it a go.

altered bottle caps - I haven't made any but mrsD sent such cool personalized bottle caps in the forum trades that I'd like to try making some.

I love:

photography - especially using the photos to make things (postcards, bookmarks, scrapbooks, etc)

This is my first WLS swap. I'm so excited. My latest hobby is creating art journals so stuff like acrylic paints, magazine clippings, gel pens etc. would be great. Also, like DreamHope, I love to read, and I like old books I can tear apart or alter.

Yeay! My first WLS swap.

Here's a list of hobbies I'm (slowly) teaching myself to do: embroidery, beading, polymer clay, bookmaking, papier mache

I told myself I was going to try and cut down on swapping for a bit, but this seems like too much fun! The only hobby I have that is constant is knitting socks. I've always used wool or superwash wool, it'd be fun to try something else though, like bamboo, tofu, cotton blends to make socks though. And I'm always looking for good sock patterns for multi colored yarns. I love knitting plain colors, but I already have tons of patterns for that. Anyway, hope that's enough hints :)

My hobby is scrapbooking. I love doing it and used to spend hours and hours around it. Now with my baby I have less time and a lot of photos to catch up with! However, I live in Portugal where scrapbook is an unknown art... so I usually have all my 12x12 patterned papers and alphabet stickers, ribbon, brads or eyelets, buttons ordered from the US and it usually ends up a pretty expensive hobby! So anything is soooooooooo welcome... :-) I'm an easy girl to please!

DreamHope, your package is on the way!

I tried to contact both my partner and the coordinator but none of them gets back to me... I have no info on my partners hobby (well, she has lots of interests, but no hobby)... :-(
