The library and a local craft group have a craft swap about twice a year. So far, I'm doing good about taking more than I bring home. This time, I took about a bag and a half of stuff, and came home with about a bag. Only one cone of yarn, though.
- Two embroidery hoops (one round wood, one oval metal)
- a handful of short, metal-tooth zippers to practice pouches with
- wine corks (someone brought a whole trash bag full)
- Pinking shears (vintage)
- tatting shuttle
- pack of jump rings and clasps
- Piecework magazines
- a couple of crochet booklets
- beaded necklace kit
- kit to make two embroidery pendants
- How-to-draw book (vintage)
- Art Deco coloring book
- fabric to make L a reticule with
- part of a Tulip tie-dye set
- kit to make a passport cover and luggage tag with
- a cone of cotton yarn for potholders
- Fiskars child-size cutting mat with cutting pen
- mason jar of beads
- pack of assorted pins that say Rue (??)
- Sculpey III for the plan to make a tiny hat and wreath for my HR Shetland
- paper punch for edges
- metal box with drawing pencils
Highlights:
A tatting shuttle - saves me from buying one
A Fiskars kids' cutting mat with cutting tool
Beads for someone's friendship bracelet fascination, and I'll keep the jar.
A vintage, made in the US, pair of pinking shears with the original box.
A bead kit for a necklace that L will probably love.
