~MCN Super Swap~

[SorenLorensen]

i just finished mine.

i hope ****** likes it, i totaly cr&ped (cr@aped) myself when i found out who i got becuase i have seen a bit of their work and mine is soooo far from the stuff they can do :o

i like it and am proud of it, i really tried my hardest, and :fingerscrossed: ****** does not think it is a cr&p job

[Hannahs Mum]

Dont worry, I thought long and hard about what to do when I saw who I had.
They do exceptional work so I went simple and focused on quality.
Especially as I know that is one of there pet hates.

You cant do better than your best.
I'm sure whoever gets it will love it.

Very few of us a professional sewers or knitters.
Most of us a part time cleaners, nurses, cooks, and of course full time mums.
I know everyone has thought long and hard about these swaps and most have pulled them apart and started all over again numerous times.:thumbsup:

[bekkyboo]

I had to give up on mine... There is one part im not overly happy with - but i have so much i have to do around here that i just dont have time to start it again... so the person that gets mine... Im SO sorry :p

[Shanaynay]

I'm sure we are all going to love what we get! Personally I don't care what I get.... I'm just excited about getting something made just for me :D (or my bub, lol!)

Mine I'm making are pretty simple, I hope she likes it! Can't wait till we all share pics!

[Tea Lady]

So are we "revealing" ourselves with the package? I want to put my return address on mine and it will be a bit of a give-away to the person who gets it (alot of you ppl have received mail from me, so that doesn't narrow it down too much!). :)

[kymmy]

I have finished but I am just not sure. I wanted to do something different (though it is a little different to what I usually do now)

[Zada]

yea are we revealing in the package?
Hope u like it person cos i wanna keep what i made:laughing: :D

[Oscar's mum]

According to the poll that was up the verdict is:




Reveal at a later date!;)


ETA: It was neck and neck though ;)

[Tea Lady]

It's even now that I've voted!! :p

Seriously, mine's not going in the mail without a return address so my person will definitely know! :D

[Shanaynay]

I am so scared the person isn't going to like what I've made :gloomy:
Oh I hope they do :fingerscrossed:

[Little_Toad]

I've still got about 3 hours of work to do on mine.
My recipient better like it!! Or I'll squash them.!!!

[GraceUnhearing]

Seriously, mine's not going in the mail without a return address so my person will definitely know! :D

thats what i was thinking what about return address is if gets lost.
i'm going to put my name and address on the back :yes:

[cheezelkat]

still not finished...:o

It's cool, I'm on the last part and it is finishable today if I stop being so productive (washing curtains)

Oh yeah, I'm also putting an address on it.

[HoopDeeDoo]

I'm putting a name and addres on mine :yes:

I think we should just do what we want to do?

If you want to reveal then do it or not YK?

Or maybe we could put our address, with no name on the back, or 'insert surname' household, and then the address, so no first names

[shed]

Mine is finished! yay.

[kirstenriley]

[QUOTE=cheezelkat;1479553]still not finished...:oQUOTE]

me either...yikes....:eek:

[stellarella]

So presumably everyone has their recipients address...and everyone has something to send...and everyone is right to send tomorrow?? :thumbsup:

[cheezelkat]

yep...we are all set :thumbsup:

[Shanaynay]

I've just finished!!!

I don't think I've ever been so nervous making anything before :laughing: I was being SO careful with everything, I didn't want to make a single mistake, then when I'd finished sewing around the pocket etc... I realise I'd forgotten to sew the tummy loop tape on at the very start :banghead: But only took 10 mins to fix.... Im so paranoid it's all going to fall apart in the wash, I hope my person likes it!!

Sending tomorrow:wizard:

[stellarella]

Guys...just relax :hugs: *massage*

Everything is going to be fine. Your recipient will love it (and if they dont they can kindly keep it to themselves...:laughing: )...

Dont forget its just a bit of fun...;)

[kymmy]

I have almost finished but will be right to send tomorrow night. I will be sending via express post anyway.

[Foxymoron]

I have just printed up instructions for washing and mine is already for the post tomorrow!:yelclap:

[stellarella]

My darling angel DP just went to the shops and he forgot to take my package to be posted...*deep breaths* :banghead: :banghead:

Now he has to go early to work tomorrow and post it on the way.

[GraceUnhearing]

(and if they dont they can kindly keep it to themselves...:laughing: )...


if you dont like it bad luck?
haha

im sure everyone will love theirs!

[Tea Lady]

Oooooh, I'm excited!! Very relieved that we had good drying weather today too (was having visions of myself trying to get my thing dry with a hairdryer so I could post it!).

Better not forget a trip to the PO tomorrow! :D

[Shanaynay]

I can't wait to get mine in the mail........... I hope the person who made me something lives near me so it's quick :D

So are we doing this again? We haven't even posted them out but I can't wait to do it again :p

[sopolicha]

I am not a participant, and a dodgy seamstress at the best of times, but I am really looking forward to seeing these photos.

[~Kimba~]

I just picked mine up from my lovely mum and it looks lovely, I tried it on Jet :D I really hope my person likes it, and that it fits! :fingerscrossed:

But I don't time to lanolise it :no: I'll give it a quick lanolin spray, but I would have liked to have done it 'properly' with liquid lanolin. I hope my person understands...

[Little_Toad]

This could be the most exciting fluffly mail ever.

Phineas that would be great to have another one.. but could we alternate it between the sew offs so they aren't running at the same time?
ie. sew off, then MCN swap, sew off...

A bit hard to look after a toadlet, make two nappys/items and run a business. Don't want to miss out on making things.

Good idea - we could do 2 weeks as a sew-off, the next three weeks an MCN swap, then the following 2 a sew-off again, then the next 3 MCN swap etc.... iykwim....:thumbsup:

[Little_Toad]

Yeah! I've finished my item.. and just to make sure, taken pics incae it gets lost in the mail... that would suck!

phineas:
iykwim....

Yup!

[Hannahs Mum]

This is so exciting....just hopeing my person doesn't live to far away.

[Oscar's mum]

That sounds like a great idea.

[M&M'sMummy]

Finished!

Spent most of yesterday finishing it off, I so hope She likes it:fingerscrossed:

[HoopDeeDoo]

:wizard: Gave the parcel to my DH to send off this morning :smiliedance:

[Oscar's mum]

My parcel is now in the mailbox waiting to be delivered:D

[bekkyboo]

i posted mine on saturday... I didnt think i would get a chance - and the post box doesnt clear until sunday arvo - so it was close enough ;)

[stellarella]

DP has taken mine to the post box :wizard:

*He will be in big trouble if he has forgotten* :devil6:

[MumsieMel]

Mines on its way!!!

[HoopDeeDoo]

DP has taken mine to the post box :wizard:

*He will be in big trouble if he has forgotten* :devil6:

:laughing: thats what I was thinking, but since his new MP3 player came today, I was going to hold it ransom if he didn't do it :laughing: Lucky for him he remembered

[~Kimba~]

:smiliedance: Mine has been spray lanolised and wrapped, and is now on its way too :smiliedance:

[kymmy]

I will probably send it this afternoon. Its all ready. Hubby is home from work sick but we have to go out anyway.
I hope the recipient likes it. Its a little different to what I normally do and if you aint happy let me know (I DO want to know).

[wattle]
