My season swap is complete. I just need to work out how on earth I'm going to get it packaged safely! Hopefully by tomorrow morning it will be winging it's way to far distant hills.
I'm a member of a forum known as The Green Parent, it's a UK based online community, although we have expats in Germany, Spain, Portugal and NZ.
One of the ladies on the forum has organised a season swap for sometime, it is ran on similar principles to a secret santa. Interested parties put forward their names and everyone is assigned a partner; we each make a seasonally based item for a season/nature table.
For Summer I made a multicoloured lap quilt and Autumn I made a felted Acorn bud doll. I received clay painted suns and a shell ornament for Summer and knitted gnomes and mushrooms for Autumn.
It's a lovely idea but I found this one a bit stressful as true to form I left everything late and then remembered I was posting internationally!! I've sent my gift on a wing and a prayer!!
It sounds like a great idea -- when you have the time to make the things. I hope your items will arrive on time. You never know during the holidays. Sometimes things move surprisingly fast.
