iTrader: 100 / 100%

I'd love a good trade!! I am crafting lately and could offer up : furry monster travel sz tissue holders, could make 2 sock monkey minkee taggie blankets with materials on hand, yoyo table runners or candle mats in various colorways, rag quilt runner or coasters, potholders in homespun fabrics various colors available, small stitchery style wall quilts, have a primitive annie one in the works, doll quilts/blankets of various styles - guilted, yoyo style with backings sooo very cute if I do say so myself, plastic bag holders and childrens crayon tote bags ( perfect size for the small activity books, note pads and has crayon or skinnier marker slots around the outside of it ) also just plain crayon roll ups, I have materials to make a few xmas themed eye spy bean bags with plastic pellets instead of rice or could use rice, also just embellished child size tote bags can hand embrodier name on them. And since I plan on making all the little girls in the family tutus for christmas, I actually have a bunch left over I over bought lol I could probably make up 5 or so... I have red, teal, baby blue, pink plain and sparkly. I did mostly plain then I did some sparkles to kick it up a notch. I tied some and sewn some ..

I'm trying to build a stash to help offset Christmas and Birthdays this year to hopefully trade more then buy and use up materials on hand... I'd be happy to do any of these things above as I'm already working on 08' Christmas and Birthday gifts! lol I'm trying to go as close to 100% handmade/homemade this year as possible and you can think I'm insane if you want for getting Christmas presents done now if you want lol

aside from the above I have quite a bit set aside I've decluttered I may have something your looking for!! Just ask!

wahm soaps in manly scents, beer soap, shaving soap
