I’m excited as I’ve signed up for an International Craft Swap, hosted by Zoe to keep my crafting mojo going. The ‘rules’ are simple – there isn’t a price limit, or a time limit, to what you make. Make it with love and they will love it. Be as generous as you can, the point of this is to put a smile on a stranger’s face, but don’t put yourself out. Try to use materials you already have in your stash, and maybe even do a little de-stash to send to your recipient!
Basically I have 6 months to create something special for my partner, April. Fortunately she let slip that she is expecting a baby girl in a couple of months so it’s a fair bet that I will be making something for her new baby. It will include the colour purple which is one of April’s favourite colours.
I won’t say anymore until the WIP is completed and received by April!
