Is it ok to say I really don't have a preference on what I receive? I'd be happy to receive the item in whatever my partner specializes in.

Cordelia 01/17/2008 #

Nope, I think thats awesome CraftyDez. Openness is a good thing.

Cordelia 01/17/2008 #

I meant yes....yes, please be as flexible as you wanna be. Yes and no isn't it the same thing?

Cordelia 01/18/2008 #

There are a few things that make me weak kneed:

Crochet and knitted caps

Sew, knit or crocheted bags

Dotee doll

Sock creatures

Chefs toques

Snazzy aprons in not to girly prints

And my biggie, yes I'm shameless, knit or crocheted shawl

Morsbags

Zippered coin purse

Anything that you feel like making that reflects my profile

Thank you!

I would love anything besides a purse.

TriStateLinx 01/18/2008 #

i would love for my partner to send me fingerless mitts with the thumb connected. If that is possible, not surprise me.

TriStateLinx 01/18/2008 #

knitted fingerless mitts.

This is a great idea for a swap! I'm so enamoured with the blue/brown combo's, too. I've even started playing with pink/brown and plum/brown (which can be interesting!).

I love functional art (something purty that you can also use), visual art (like a canvas painting), and surprises! If you have a specialty and would like to share one with me - that would be extremely wonderful! :) A big thanx in advance!

Cordelia 01/18/2008 #

Hi TriStateLinx just remember please that not everyone knits.

I think the crafting varies from swapper to swapper.

fivecats1 01/19/2008 #

I would be really happy with anything you hand-make (just please no socks or shoes).

fivecats1 01/19/2008 #

Oh, and I'm from a warmer climate, so no wintry things.

TriStateLinx 01/23/2008 #

Yes, I understand. Only if it is possible, if not my partner can surprise me. I'm not locked in for the mitts. Sorry to make it sound that way.

andysbabycakes 01/25/2008 #

I would luv anything handmade!

paperseed 01/25/2008 #

These are my favorite colors! I SO wish I wasn't a newbie. What a great swap idea!

leashingfear 01/27/2008 #

I'm open to just about anything...check my profile to get ideas, I guess. :)

MusingsofaSouthernGirl 01/28/2008 #

Like others, I am open to what I receive, I just want it handmade and something that the maker is proud of..

wishcake 02/ 4/2008 #

I would love anything you happen to make for me. :)

hippofairy 03/ 7/2008 #

I´ll be very happy with a sewn or crocheted or knitted bag or purse, handknitted socks, something embroidered, something to wear (i'm a small/medium), a softie or amigurumi. Please, don´t send ATCs, jewelry (I rarely use them), dotee dolls, bookmarks or handmade cards. :) Thanks! hope this gives you some good ideas! but really, anything that you specialize in, i would be happy to receive! :)

hippofairy 03/ 7/2008 #

oh wait. i guess i can't sign up for this one. i'll do the international one. :)

Shash 03/13/2008 #

Whatever is made for me I will love--that's a promise!!

TriStateLinx 04/15/2008 #

This was a VERY VERY VERY disappointing swap. For one I did not receive my swap from BellaVoce. Two, come to find out she does not send out any of her swaps. She has a whole lot of no sends. And Cordelia as coordinator you should have realize that. This is crazy, and I am going to send out the word to everyone that BellaVoce is not a responsible person and not to let her in anymore swaps. On her profile is says she is partially suspended, it should read FULLY suspended.
