International Swap

I came upon this idea when I received some really cool white yarn with little blue things sticking out all over it in a yarn swap and thought … how cool will this yarn be as the trim on a Christmas stocking?

I just love Christmas and put up a couple of trees and start decorating in November. Some ornaments I even leave up all year. I have a tree full of handmade items from over the years, and also like ornaments that are "untraditional" in color.

Anyhow….I thought we could do different colors over the next few months and have a nice variety for decorating by December.

This month will be BLUE. You can use other colors in your ornament, but the main color should be BLUE.

You will have TWO partners and make them ONE ornament each.

The ornaments MUST be handmade. They can be painted, cross-stitched, crocheted, knitted, plastic canvas, wood, clay or whatever craft you do. Please send an ornament that you would be proud to hang on your own tree. You'll have 2 weeks once names are assigned to complete and mail your creation.

Since this is the first swap I've ever hosted, please be kind! If I've left out anything, please ask.

Feedback must be 4.7 or above. If you have any no sends, or any swaps outstanding that are past the due date by a week or more, you will be removed from the swap. There is plenty of time from now until the sign up deadline to get caught up with outstanding swaps. If you have an explanation, contact me and we can discuss. I have been flaked on a few times myself already and would like to try and avoid anyone else being flaked on.
