I make baby blankets. Would be fun to trade if anyone were in need of a blanket as a gift.

I can make roasries if anyone needs a religious gift.

Triss

What types of blankets?


Babys ......I am going to be Grandma after christmas.........Id have to owe alot for that.
Show me photos of the blankets....

Kenny.......Your rosaries are gorgous...just wondering how to trade there.

Keep sending ideas..
I just did a xmas in July trade on another garden place.....Wow it was nice.

I crochet but the problem is it takes forever to finish one project.

Here are a few of mine that I am working on right now. They are just basic squares with a ruffled edge. Takes me a couple weeks to make one once I get going on it. I have 3 going right now cuz I need more yarn.

Triss,

That is nice...........Problem there, mom is allergic to my crochet afghans....

Thanks for sharing..
I crochet also......

Kenny

You've got PM!

Kenny, still not clear on our plant talk we had...I am grabbing everything along the creek and will keep you informed:-) I am interested in the trade too...Not sure how this will work?

I would love a baby blanket from triss, to save for my 1st grandchild???down the road, but nothing like homade love!

And Kenny your rosaries are awesome!I am a painter,writer??so i think that is out...But I make my own seasonings from herbs I grow, and can salsa etc..I am sure there is something...?

Just let me know? or would be happy to purchase Good topic.

Thanks
Angie

Chenno, sorry about not responding, I was going to reply to your PM, but sudden questions about roses came to mind and well... anyways, thanks so much for taking the time to collect the seeds, I've sent you a PM about trading and your painting!

We will have to talk Angie. I would LOVE one of your paintings. May have to make you a dozen blankets for it though!

Angie

Let me see the paintings.

As far as a painting trade, they are in a local gallery for probably more then they are worth...However, If a trade was made with a painting I would have to do a small one as I do huge paintings that take months, and the lowest price one, I have now is $500.00.

So it would have to be a hard call w/paintings unless there were small and time is not a factor, like i said I have other things to trade? maybe we could post a list of things interested in?
But this is a great idea:-)

WOW Angie, you have your painting in a gallery? That is SO COOL!

Triss,,,Is IT???Thanks takes away the freedom

Yes very cool! Do you HAVE to keep them supplied with a certain number of paintings???

I give them 3, but cannot paint on demand,That is common.

Wow Chenno, I've never known any painters whose work is actually displayed in a gallery! The painters I know are all ameteur, you must be really good!

NOT,really....lol very different Kenny.
It may not be to your liking? I just enjoy it, all that matters to me:-) as a matter of fact a friend put to the gallery,I was not even looking for that stuff..

Chenno, you're just too humble!

Kenny and your very Kind.

chenno

What are the other things you make and can trade.
I am not after a painting......
Got one from my son for christmas.......My favorite artist...........On canvas.

We are trading things that are craft types and not costly.......At least it is my approach.. Were out to save on here, I thought.

Thanks
