WHAT YA GOT SWAP Chat Thread

I think Yoda's been holding out on us.

You've got some great stuff! I also have been very happy with all of my stuff. I am really fond of the handmade items especially. Those washrags from Roccomanchickens are so nice I don't think I can make myself use them. lol I think I'll put them in a basket for decoration. I've also already read a few of the books I've gotten and enjoye those too. Keep the good stuff coming!!!!

Thank you Kristi for the nice comment about my wash rags! I love to crochet, but have so many obligations (work, chickens, cooking, kids, grandkids, gardening, etc.) that I don't have time for big projects. I'm so glad you like them.

I have gotten some really fun and UNIQUE items on here too! This was a great idea-and it has helped me trade some of my stuff for new goodies!

I know about one type of crochet stitch I think. I basically can make a chain. I have asked my MIL to teach me more though and she's agreed to help me. I also am trying to learn soapmaking, trying to make quilted pot holders, and semi considering starting a quilt.

I am trying to learn too many things at once. I have recently finished 2 years of college and took time off for the summer from my job of teaching 3 yr old preschoolers so I feel like I'm gonna go crazy with nothing to do so I'm trying to keep myself busy. Being idle after working all day and going to college at night seems like laziness.

I love the hand made things that people worked hard on. I also loved the colors on the greenish ones I got from you. They match my decor in the bathroom. I know you remember me wanting the potholders. I may have to lurk around until them come up again too.

Oh, quilting is so much fun! And the quilts are super comfortable to sleep under! I got started when my mother wanted to take a class, so I went with her. We made these tiny pincushions out of tiny scraps of material . Took forever, but it grows on you. You get faster as you learn. You can hand stitch or machine stitch , or both. It is so fun to look at all the beautiful fabrics available. I have a whole room full of quilt fabrics !

For the record - I love books.

x2 Books are my favorite thing to get and I like just about any type. I stalled the thread with my stuff last time and now feel hesitant to offer again or I wouldve been all over those cookbooks. I must say everyone was very nice to me about it when it happened to me but if someone had commented negatively on it I would definitely not want to take anything again for risk of causing a stall.

Kristi,
Don't be hesitant to take an offer if you want it please. Have to ignore the few who are making negative comments, they are not personal, they are just wanting something else and RIGHT NOW!

Just try to put up something new after a few hours. And so many people can't look at the thread at certain times of the day, it will vary who is online when you take a swap. There may be several people who would take your offers but they just aren't online when your offer is up.

Just don't worry about the other people being pushy. They would probably be crying and running away if someone was making the same comments when their offers were up. Some people just DON't THINK.

Corancher is great at asking the offerer questions and making suggestions to keep the thread moving in a timely manner. This thread is just not always going to move at lightning speed.

Ruthless and Muddy Horse- Haven't forgotten about you. Dealing with no water has been a lot more time consuming then I realized. Will get them in the mail by this weekend.

Jenlyn's pickles are excellent! My electric bill went up after they got here because I'm in the fridge every five minutes.
